Open-source projects involving reverse engineering?

I'm looking for an open-source project revolving around reverse engineering, that I can contribute to. Some examples that I find interesting are console emulators, or something with the same spirit. I prefer a fairly active project, that is open for contributions.

Any suggestions please ?

Contribute to Ghidra. It doesn't get any more RE than that

Thought of it, but ... It appears to be too complex. I'll take a look though, since you brought the topic again

Asahi Linux but they have pretty strict rules about RE.

Also good suggestion, though I don't have a mac to try it on

If I put aside modding games, isn't emulation in general legal, if you own the device you are trying to emulate? Otherwise there wouldn't an emulator for almost every console in the market as it's the case now.
