i wish it was easier on linux to grab shit-old emulators that have piss-poor accuracy but can run on your grandma's 486. rolling releases are great for support until all of the software it brings needs a quadcore with fuck-you ram
fs-uae-launcher is massive and doesn't fit on a 800x480 screen, i have to use X11 forwarding to set things on another computer, and i can't even find where the system settings for video etc are being stored, it sure as hell isn't on either of the folders it creates in .config
fs-uae is miserable to use on anything but the latest and greatest huh
@smellsofbikes i'm more interested in the sex-to-noise ratio myself
@Atatra i regret not gutting more parts off that broken laptop we trashed
oh, oh, laptop speakers, everybody's always selling gutted laptop spare parts
by which i mean i'm more upset that i can't easily find loose parts like this in-country so that shipping is quicker
i need a tiny speaker and i don't know what to rip one out of without having to order parts from china (i have no issue ordering parts from china, i just want one now)
@lmorchard @boogah it looks disgusting. i want two.
the font looks like the simpsons font
when i last talked about this when my fiancée linked a kitchen appliance shop website from the UK that i couldn't see for the same reason, someone asked me "what? does it happen that often?"
yes. yes it does
it has been 0 days since i've ran into a website i never heard of before having wording that means that i, personally, am arbitrarily blocked from viewing it, because i decided to spawn in the wrong part of the world
but when china does it, it's an outrage
@boogah @lmorchard every day we certainly do
@clyde i followed this guide for the updated kernel: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChipCommunity/comments/qnc53k/updated_mainline_debian_11_image/
it makes it a little more useful in 2024, but you have to figure a lot out for yourself. i installed jwm since it's what i had on the stock 4.4 image
zep is still faithfully building pico8 for it: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=34009
@anna they're like regular furniture drawer bumpers i got off AliExpress (so i could get them in colours), i can't take credit for the idea of doing that though, i saw someone else do it on the next thing co forums before they went down
@anna the tactility isn't so bad, the problem is how hard they are to register... like a flat membrane keyboard like on the zx81, or one of those keypad membranes some Arduino kits come with... the metal dome makes it slightly clickier but without leverage it's really hard to press
someone designed a 3d printable shell with individual keys that are designed to swivel with a bump to press the domes, but i didn't have access to a printer big enough when i got this so i just used the bumpers
@anna the screen is only 4.3" across. paw for scale
@anna it's really only impressive if you:
- know the original pocketchip is 480x272, mine is upgraded to a 800x480 panel (everything is hard to read in person too, now)
- know the original pocketchip is kernel 4.4, mine is upgraded to 5.14 thanks to the efforts of someone on reddit
the keys have rubber bumpers on them because stock they're just bare metal dome buttons. the added height gives them a lot more leverage to make them slightly more bearable. and it makes it prettier like you said :)
(and if i get it running on this kernel there's no guarantee it'll work on the stock 4.4 kernel)
i have never used tic-80 but someone asked if the pocketchip can run it and now i'm half-tempted to try compiling it but their cmake system seems like a mess
