  1. Dear #BeebEm fans; what's the maximum speed you can achieve when setting the emulator to x100 (menu...Speed...Fixed Speed...100)?

    Mine is x60 during computation and x73 during program idle.

    I'm running it on a 5GHz AMD Ryzen 5 and I'd expect it to top out at 100 easily, but obviously not.

  6. Struggling with getting #Econet to work in #BeebEm #retrocomputing - eventually, I want to connect the emulator to my #PiEconetBridge with some ‘real’ machines (#Electron, #BBCmaster)

  11. Okay, I made the thing without instructions for compiling on ARM compile on ARM.

    (This screenshot is actually from the version I'm building in parallel on an x86 system for comparative purposes.)

  16. @toychicken @bbcmicrobot @rem And was half of that 10 minutes going to be the time to load it from cassette? :-) (I remember the #BBCMicro's cassette motor control relay whose click was occasionally used for sound effects by games... And more recently, I was amused at the #Beebem emulator's disk-drive sound effect when loading something from a virtual floppy.)

  19. Just updated , a BBC Micro and Master emulator, to the latest version.

    Fun to play BBC Micro games on (most of the games are easy to load since they are disk images, but for tape images, it's a bit more complicated), and also a great way to show running teletext feeds like Teefax, Chunkytext, and Nathan Dane's , based on my experiences with BeebEm.

  20. because it seems i'm actually doing a thing with it, i've moved beebem for unix to github.com/beebem-unix/beebem

  25. and just like that... github.com/dominichamon/beebem builds and installs.

    and as a neat side-effect, it runs on OSX (yes, even M1)!

    i need some more testing to check all the options, and i'd appreciate help, but yaaaay.

  26. Splendid! Is that the same #beebem that people still use today?

    (Maybe if you reduce your screen resolution to something just a bit more than #riscos uses before launching, that would help?)

  28. I've been asked to give a talk on #beebem that I wrote in ~1994; I'm doing archaeology on my own filesystems; a path in a tar:

    -rw-rw-rw- 1000/users 219 1994-10-16 21:06 gallifrey-misc/offtardis/backup/A440back/BEEBEM/H/beebmem

    so that's a file I wrote in 1994 probably on my ARM3 Acorn A440, that was copied onto my 1st PC (~94), then my Alpha ('tardis' ~97), then my Dual athlon (Gallifrey), then has followed around a few more in between.
