MAME seems to have had "skeleton driver" (i.e.: very rough and unfinished) support for a number of 80s- and 90s-era synths, given that they're very similar to video game hardware from the same era. In my reverse engineering for this project, I realized that the MAME driver might now boot, but there's an extremely long way to go before audio comes out; the K2 series used custom ASICs for waveform generation that have no public documentation. I've heard that some folks much smarter than me know how to de-cap chips and reverse engineer them from the hardware, but I'll be extremely impressed if someone can make that happen and emulate those chips efficiently.
