maple "mavica" syrup [6502] @mavica_again@computerfairi.es

the Mac 512 was shut down not because the case looked like a mac, not because the analog board was a carbon copy, but because the unit that Apple somehow managed to investigate for themselves during development contained a copied Mac Plus ROM. however, Unitron's argument was that that was only being used for development purposes and the retail version would contain a reverse engineered rom. at the time, there was no law against that in brazil

this seems to be a ROM for a later Unitron clone, the "Unitron 1024" which work was started on after the US govt threatened and forced the shutdown of the "Mac 512" project. supposedly the Unitron 1024 wasn't going to look like a macintosh, in an attempt to appease the government, but it also got shut down regardless

@arielmt oh no

i may have found previously undocumented clone mac roms

@suricrasia i miss the bot that posts github commit messages with swears on them

this rules, actually. this is direct action https://wandering.shop/@johnpettigrew/112172716984340737

i am good enough.

every time surprising myself whenever i re-realize everything that people have branded me as an "evil abuser" for was simply me setting boundaries and pointing out when others were breaking them

@eater pretty straightforward, took me like 20 minutes https://www.reddit.com/r/ChipCommunity/comments/qnc53k/updated_mainline_debian_11_image/

@eater this really feels like how it should've been released back in 2016 now

@eater also i upgraded the screen to IPS 800x480 and added internal speaker

@eater lima (mali 400) is mainline. GL 2.1 support, forget which GLES version. mednafen works alright for GBA, pocketchip variant of pico8 still being maintained by zep to this day. i'm using the mainline 5.14 kernel, not 4.4-ntc

fuck yeah NOW we're gaming

@bonzoesc i'm already having to learn this project's ass backwards cmakelists i don't feel like having to learn how to make an armhf docker

@bonzoesc i don't feel like installing docker and i'm not sure if it would be any easier to get sdl2:armhf into docker as it has been in apt, i just can't get the compiler to see it anywhere

anyway just wasted several hours trying to cross-compile something that i could probably have waited for the tiny 1ghz pocketchip compile itself

i really wish cross-compiling was possible. you'd think we should be able to use multiple-ghz machines to compile for smaller ones. oh well

sometimes i really wish i knew at least one other person who knows how to compile things to pick their brain

i wish i could make any programmer friends, lol

this post brought to you by me trying to run fs-uae on a pocketchip
