#757 — RaspberryPI

Listed directly from the RaspberryPI site

"At the celebrations for the BBC Micro’s 30th birthday on Sunday (more 
on that to come, when the organisers’ videos are available), we met the 
rather excellent Andy Taylor. Andy volunteers for the UK Computer 
Museum, and had been working on getting their Raspberry Pi software 
ready to exhibit at the event. Rather than sitting back and twiddling 
his thumbs when he was done, he decided to fill his spare time by 
porting Fuse, a ZX Spectrum emulator, to the Raspberry Pi. I’m not sure 
why (nostalgia’s a powerful thing), but seeing Manic Miner running on a 
Raspberry Pi was, for me, even cooler than seeing Quake 3 back when we 
demoed it last year. (I note we never did set up that Deathmatch. I 
shall add it to the Big List of Things to Do.)"

Cool. But I would have expected it just to build and run under ArchARM,
without anything in the way of porting. Just grab the PKGBUILD and
patches from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10350, add 'arm'
to the “arch=” field, and go. After doing the same for libspectrum
etc., of course.

Presumably Fedora wouldn't be much harder: you'd just have to build
it without any help, doing the old “configure && make && make install”
dance.

Or am I missing something? The only ARM device running Arch that I have
at the moment (until I buy a couple of dozen[1] Raspberry Pies[2]) is
headless, so I've never tried it. Is there x86 code in there?

[1] I may be exaggerating. A bit.

[2] "Pis" just looked wrong.

In FUSE?  It works on PPC, so no there isn't.  Unless there's
something special about the X frontend that I'm not aware of.

> [2] "Pis" just looked wrong.

Surely it should be nPI (where PI should be a PI symbol, but I'm
restricted to ISO-8859-1 in this ancient newsreader so I can't type
one, at least not without it being translated to something else at the
other end), where n is an integer representing the multiple of PI that
you intend to purchase?

Didn't think so. And he's using the SDL frontend on the framebuffer, so
no X.

I don't want to sound like I'm criticizing here. I *suppose* building
packages for whatever distro he's running on his Pi counts as
“porting”. It just seemed an awfully highfalutin' way to put it. And
maybe I'm wrong in assuming that there wasn't more to it.

But kudos to the guy for showing the wider Pi community what's possible
with the thing. It's totally awesome (like, dude) that it works at all.

Never thought of that.

And that's why, after thirty years, I'm still a bit crap at all this
computer-programming-geekery business. The only reason I know more than
the average bloke in the street is that I've been doing it badly for
longer.

WOG says that "Raspberry Pi" is an adjective, not a noun, so it's
a "Raspberry Pi system" or a "Raspberry Pi development system" or
a "Raspberry Pi computer".

I thought the legal team insisted on it but the developers shunned using it as an adjective on account of what normal people, including themselves call it on a day-to-day basis.

That's how I remember it, yep. As soon as the 'trademark rules' page 
went up, there was a brief widespread cry of "um, what?" followed by 
Eben and Liz agreeing that it was a bit silly, and taking that rule out.

I don't have the dates to hand, but it may well have been true at the 
time jgharston made that post...

has fuse fixed the +d emulation yet? snapper disc from velesoft ought ot have been able to run 48k SNApshots at 6mhz using external sam 1-4mb ram above 32768 code runs 6mhz without using line itnerrupts to turn screen on/off border port screen off bit set and just use vmpr to alter mode from 1 to any of the other 3 might work no?
