  1. And since the default config sets up the keyboard in mednafen by scan code but the docs don't list them:

    USB standard keyboard map:

  3. It was RISC OS night!

    I was planning on playing with emulators but instead ...

    Messed around with !grapevine trying to see if it can talk to Open Oscar servers. Doesn't seem likely, as it seems to lack any way to specify a server. OTOH I can't find a hard coded address either?

    I have requested my old icq number from a server in Brazil, more on this when they respond.

    Messed around with the email MTA, !antispam and finally got it to quit complaining about messages from 2023.

  5. Hah! I got the RISC OS port of GnGeo to work! (Neo Geo emulator)

    ...For the 1 Neo Geo game I ever play...

    (Money Idle Exchanger, if you must know 😝)

    The secret is, you must manually copy the rc file from the game dir to /gngeo in !home. Then gngeo will have key bindings!

    Mapping in my cheap usb gamepad so I can use it is going to be a slog for another night.

    No pics, i was hacking and now I need to eat and then go to bed.

  7. This is neat: RISC OS Direct for Pi 5 — riscosdev.com/projects/risc-os

    It runs RISC OS directly on top of Raspberry Pi OS, without installing it as a new OS. It has a few problems: no sound, and I can't find the quit button, but it's way less hassle than dedicating a Raspberry Pi to this quaintly weird OS.

  9. Grrr I couldn't get mednafen under RISC OS to work.

    Probably because the binary dates back to 2013 and isn't ARM 7 compatible.😞

    Edit: copy the rcfiles into !unixhome and then it'll work.

    This is what the error "sdl is not configured for threads"apparently means....

    Edit2: spell name right

  11. Switching operating systems tonight, tonight is RISC OS night!

    I paid real money for a game! It does still happen!
    This is FunFysics , which is a The Incredible Machine clone, and it's a lot of fun!

  13. Some people asked about performance, so here is a video of #RISC_OS #Merlin booting (instantly) and running a graphics demo in #QEMU, Merlin is using its own software framebuffer in this demo, not yet GPU acceleration:

  15. #RISC_OS: I finally had a bit of time to upload a video with the first system boot into graphic demo for #MerlinOS It works fine on @raspberrypi 2, 3 and 4, but the video is from #QEMU which makes it easy to record both #kernel logs and Pi 2 display. Enjoy!

  17. During a long discussion about #riscos ADFS...

    <philpem> ADFS L's a bit of a dog but at least S/M/L only differ by geometry. D/E/F aren't awful but the stuff SBPR bolted on to do long filenames was ... interesting.
    <philpem> "chained big directories" made it clear he'd seen the Win95 LFN spec
    <x> old map, new map, newer map, newest map
    <philpem> embiggened map, cromulent map
    <x> bestest map, bestest+1 map
    <philpem> type F, ... K ... bugger we crashed into L and M, guess it's N now?

    After a quick peak down this rabbit hole it looks like aim via chivanet (based in New Mexico!) is pretty easy, no data on !grapevine working with it.

    Hey !grapevine msn and aim clients should be able to talk to this right?

  25. The first new Acorn Replay video in probably 20 years, and it's in Super Moving Blocks format.
    Input is an MPEG4 HD video converted to YUV with ffpmeg then compressed to Replay with custom tooling.

  27. This might be the first time Acorn Replay3 has run correctly, with the Super Moving Blocks codec, since 1998.
    Two bugs, see next post for details.

  30. 🪨 PipeDream on the Acorn Archimedes 🛠️

    A truly unique combination. We have the first ARM-based home computer, powering a bespoke OS, running software that says, "The barriers between productivity apps are a lie we tell ourselves."

    This introduced so many new technologies, I had to run a check on "Where are they now?" The ARM chip's legacy is a given, but the other stuff in the stack might surprise you.

    Oooo, how about a true three-button optical mouse for middle-button-heavy OSes like #Plan9 / #9front or #RiscOS? 🙃🙏
