Most stable Old Mac?

Talking about emulated machines, of course. For running Mac OS 8.1 in particular, which Mac is the least prone to sudden crashes... if any? Using a Windows host if that's of relevance.

I'm aware there are better emulators but if I wanted to use them I'd be asking in their respective subreddits.

How are you all compiling the CardZero emulator?

I've been trying to compile the Cardputer Zero emulator from source, as found in the user demo repo

So far the closest I've gotten is compiling the user demo itself using scons, which just brings up a tiny little "heloworld" window. Compiling the full emulator with cmake, meanwhile, gives me a large variety of undeclared symbols and other such errors.

I can give a whole log if requested, but for now this screenshot is purposely brief as a "did anyone else run into this?" without being too long to read.

What's going on? Fresh install of Lubuntu in a VM (yes, I am a trash little win10 user), is that why the compilation is having problems?

Where to find "fully featured" artwork?

Is there anyone who's known for making fully featured artwork/layouts for MAME machines? Artwork which rather than just a border scanned from the real machine, includes the machine's marquee, bezel, and control panel, and all the lights on them respond to the machine's cues?

For example, Asteroids Deluxe from the EXTRAS torrent from that dome everyone knows. I consider this perfect, it's got the marquee, the bezel, and on the control panel the start buttons flash when they should and the other buttons depress as you use the controls. They're even clickable, because it's fun. Short of buying the real thing, this is the closest you can get to the full experience of an Asteroids Deluxe cabinet (as compared to just Asteroids Deluxe). Not to mention the alternate artwork from different revisions and official rereleases and such. Fully featured!

And also more importantly, you can turn off each individual piece of it for when you'd rather focus on, yknow, the game.

Who made it, and who offers similar depth?

In order of importance, I'm looking for fully emulated lights, toggleable sections (marquee/controls/overlay/etc), and maybe clickable controls if they've got it.
