I've pretty much completed analysis of the NEC V20/V30 microcode
https://github.com/dbalsom/x86_microcode/blob/main/v20/README.md
There's a few remaining unknowns, but for the most part, it's done. It's enough to program a microcode-based, cycle-accurate V20 or V30 emulator.
Someone should do that.
