What parts are used alongside the DENISE?

The LF347, PAULA, 74LS157, 74LS245 and 74LS32 appear in the most repositories here.

How big is a typical board using the DENISE?

The median is 365.8 × 292.1 mm, and 75% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the DENISE?

By GitHub stars, Raemixx500 by SukkoPera, with 313 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the DENISE before building it?

Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
