He has no driver or CPU core to submit.
Someone attempted to add the missing opcodes to the T-11 core a while back and Aaron correctly rejected it because the T-11 does not have those opcodes (it's simplified compared to a real PDP-11). Galaxy Game at minimum would require creating a separate core type (similar to the 680x0 family) and make sure the inauthentic opcodes are ignored or trap out or whatever they currently do when it's in T-11 mode. And as the only active developer who touches CPU cores, my backlog is about 18 months long at the moment.
