Very interesting, I did not know you could use a RPi as a second processor. My dad has a 6502 second processor and we were wowed by the hidden line removal and colour on Elite at the time.
Didn't make me play any better though.
I just used to enjoy Chuckie Egg, Mr. EE, Dare Devil Dennis, Exile, Mission Impossible and Firetrack. Brilliant music on Firetrack.
- JdeBP 6y agoThe headlined article lead me to find https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP7fiaync5E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP7fiaync5E . I quite enjoyed watching GEM, running on top of DR-DOS, on a 80286, emulated by a Rasberry Pi, connected via the Tube to a BBC Master doing all of the I/O.
- tyingq 6y agoThere's a cool project that uses an FPGA to allow several implementations of BBC Micro Co Processors (65C02, Z80, 6809, 68000, x86, ARM2, PDP-11, 32016). And not just vanilla ones. They have a "monster Z80" that does more per clock cycle and a very fast clock, for example. https://github.com/hoglet67/CoPro6502 https://github.com/hoglet67/CoPro6502
- JdeBP 6y agoI wonder whether anyone has since thought of adding the KimKlone to that list. * https://laughtonelectronics.com/Arcana/KimKlone/Kimklone_short_summary.html https://laughtonelectronics.com/Arcana/KimKlone/Kimklone_sho...
