Nope. This thing doesn't talk 6510 nor supports the ROM banking used by the C64.

Fortunately, there's already a FPGA plug-in replacement for the SID, which can also act like the later MOS 8580 _and_ supports stereo/dual SID mode. [0]: https://www.fpgasid.de/

This is often the first consideration after "does it match the behaviour of the original chip perfectly" when dealing with FPGA reimplementations of other chips.

Yeah, but that's not a hard/firmware replacement. Besides, JITs are cheating :D

Your comment is the reason I have a print copy of "Object-Oriented Programming: an Evolutionary Approach" on my desk. Second edition, though, not the one you worked with.

That might be available in AROS? Don't quote me on it though.

Well that's a matter of trust as well, isn't it? I would assume that even if it's user configurable, the app itself should still ship with an up to date catalogue whenever a new release is made. After all you're already

I wouldn't go calling .NET a "native SDK" for Windows. That's like saying Java's a native SDK for Windows or macOS or Linux.

That doesn't necessarily mean it's "unlimited". It could be that you get eight weeks and they just don't say so.

Which, without some form of certificate pinning, could still be MITM'd. At least if there's a catalogue of hashes for everything it downloads (hard-coded or configurable by the user, latter preferred) then at least it can verify t

Every so often I actually consider making an ObjC library around BOOPSI and ReAction objects. One day I might actually go ahead and do it. Apparently, MorphOS already has out of box ObjC developer support for MUI, via ObjFW. But that requir

This is also the second time it's shown up in recent memory, and has to be at least the fourth time I've seen it on HN overall.

8086 let you address the upper and lower halves of the 16-bit registers as well, so don't trick yourself into thinking there was just one register width available in the sense that everything could only be treated as 16-bit words.

Yet another feature of Amiga that we don't have in more "modern" systems. You can actually tell the OS how big of a stack to provide to a new task and it'll provide it.

Desalinization is a thing, and one that's often overlooked because the people holding the purse strings are generally cheap-asses.

I'd say that's more true for Facebook, but Twitter is definitely a close second in this particular race.

My solution is simple: I don't ever use Google Search. DDG results are good enough for me.

For the same reason, I have ISOs of software CDs from the 1990s scattered across my many hard drives, just in case I need to scratch an itch and play with those programs again in some VM or emulator.

I don't think moving from legacy .NET Framework to modern .NET is the issue here. I have a web API application that has moved from .NET Framework 4.5 to .NET Core to .NET 5 and just updating for the newer framework has been the simples
