I want to preface this by saying I only add little bits and bobbles, and a huge chunk of the heavy lifting was done by aiju. Most of my answer is talking about code written by them. Both gb and gba make an attempt to preserve the cycle timi

I really doubt anything happens. The three big reasons why nintendo attacked yuzu were: It was a modern console, developers were making a profit working on it, and it violated DMCA by shipping a circumvention for game encryption. No one at

I've worked some on the games/gba and games/gb programs here, just adding little features as I've wanted them. Happy to answer questions.

It's "moody" and since shithub seems to be dead at the moment, this code is also mirrored on github. https://github.com/majiru/ips

Exactly. Source with caveats has long been a celebrated part of open source. I find it entirely understandable that some people are not happy with contributing to the project if their contributions go towards producing weapons. Anduril coul

The pi3 and the pi4 have been tested to be working, I have heard that the pi0 does not quite work. And yes the RTC was written for and tested against Pokémon Emerald.

I appreciate the work in getting this open sourced but I find it telling that this had to be done through an outside motivator. There seems to be no internal "ticking clock" to get some of these things out in to the open. That&#x2

Thanks, I'll give that a look.

I was not aware of a risc-v board that could boot with nothing but mainline, could you link me to one that doesn't require any third party code to use?

by moody__ 2y ago
Apologies I typed soc but really I was trying to talk about sbc's. The type of little boards you find running linux. As far as I know there is not currently (or at least as of a few years ago) risc-v sbc you could get that boots off of

We already live in the world of fragmented, semi-working, partially compatible platforms. The openness did not make this better. Take one look at what is going on in the risc-v world with nearly every soc having its own fork of the linux ke

This article paints copyleft software as something fairly disjoint from corporate software, however in my experience these are not mutually exclusive. If you look at the kernel's howto for new development[0], it seems fairly focused on

I don't find them unclear at all, after reading the introduction I felt pretty comfortable with everything that was going on in the examples. I think this type of approach you're going for can work depending on how it grows to cov

Interesting idea but I have some issues with the code style here. Two problems I see are implicit casts from pointers to integers and use of func() instead of func(void). These are both somewhat minor complaints but they tend to lead to bug

Plan 9 is very multi-user, namespaces are actually one component in how it is multi user specifically. A given terminal may be designed to only have one user on it but CPU servers are still multi-user multiplexers, that part has not been gi

I am not exactly sure where you got the "class name" part from, I've typically refereed to those as kernel filesystems or sharp devices. For the record these kernel filesystems are not technically 9p, they present an interfac

I really wanted to like sourcehut, the premise of a code forge that you could submit PR's into that had enough-ish traction was nice, even if always a subsection of GitHub. At some point sourcehut had added a 9front runner to their ci

Out of curiosity I decided to test these assumptions on 9front and things work as the author would have expected: cpu% ./dup -proc > out; cat out; echo 1d cpu% ./dup -dup > out; cat out; echo 1d The slightly modified code c

I really wanted to. I was working on getting a POWER64 port of 9front going, so far I have most of userspace compiling and linking but nothing for a kernel. A friend of mine had a Raptor Talos 2 that was having some issues that he sent over

A virtual machine + drawterm is a good way to dip your toes in, we distribute a amd64 qcow2 image that should be ready to go in QEMU. If you want to try on hardware an old thinkpad is probably the easiest, but we should run on most sensible

Indeed, thankfully using a 9front system from another OS is quite nice. My workstation at home is a Linux machine with a drawterm window open fullscreen. You can think of drawterm like our version of windows RDP, with a shared clipboard and

They are two completely different projects with completely different goals. Indeed Go was started by Rob Pike, Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer, the first two of which also worked on Plan 9, and the Go compilers can trace their lineage bac

There is a SPARC compiler and linker but no kernel. So far no one has had the interest to get some old SPARC hardware and do the hacking. There is a SPARC instruction emulator on the system that I used to test some libc modifications recent

Oh hey that's my blog. I'm glad people found it interesting. Happy to answer any questions about this project or 9front in general.
