Unix on the Game Boy Advance (2004)
- mnw21cam 13y agoOkay, so it's 5th edition Unix running on a PDP-11 emulator. Slightly less interesting than a Unix running directly, but fun nevertheless.
- omnibrain 13y agoThat was also what I thought. But in the end he suggests porting a 6th edition unix and a few other things. I did a quick google search but I found nothing suggesting that anybody picked up this task.
- Igglyboo 13y agoI wonder why he did this, would it be a lot harder to just port unix instead?
- mnw21cam 13y agoGiven the PDP-11 emulator is described as being "highly portable", it's probably easier to port the emulator than Unix.
- ANTSANTS 13y agoThere's is a Linux port for the DS, however, which is a bit more useful because it has WiFi and the touch screen can be used as a keyboard. http://www.dslinux.org/ http://www.dslinux.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dslinux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dslinux

- userbinator 13y agoAccording to http://www.dwelch.com/gba/dhry.htm http://www.dwelch.com/gba/dhry.htm the GBA's CPU can manage approximately 7.35 dhrystone MIPS running native code. Would be interesting to see what the emulated PDP-11 can do, and compare that with a real PDP-11 (<1 DMIPS, according to various sources.)
- fibo 13y agoI tryed it, and launched an `ls` using the joypad :)
- zhemao 13y agoWow, that's pretty cool. But how do you burn the emulator and OS image onto the game cartridge?
