#psion3a — Public Fediverse posts

New blog post :: https://www.kianryan.co.uk/2024-08-08-cartridge-software-for-the-psion-3/

We take a look at the cartridge software available for the Psion 3 Series devices.

Screenshots from on device, with a description of each.

(This one has taken a while)

There'll be a write-up later, but this started out as playing with OPL and ended up as building a full D&D party char stat generator for the Psion 3.

This was all done on (emulated) device with just the docs to hand. The in-built environment is *phenominal*, and makes on-device application development a breeze.

Multiple party members, dice rolls, stat assignment.

I'm going to make a video about how to install the SIBO C SDK in #DOSBox, so that people can compile apps for #EPOC16 computers (Series 3/3a/3c/3mx, Siena, Workabout, MC range).

If you are one of the tiny number of people who might be interested in using this, which modern OS do you use?

I want to know so that I can tailor the tutorial.

Was thinking of making a video this weekend on installing #PsiWin in a WinXP VM and use a USB-RS232 adapter. Turns out someone's beaten me to it!

Two things I'd like to add.

- PL2303 USB-RS232 adapters work best. I use a UGREEN one. A link to the driver is at the top of this page (works fine in XP): https://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=225&pcid=41
- The link to PsiWin in the video's description is dead. Use this instead: https://www.garethjmsaunders.co.uk/2021/03/09/where-to-download-psiwin-2-3-3/
