Quazatron

Sorry everyone. Ill try to do better, I promise.

We do what we must because we can.

I’ve just built it from source to check it out.

Looks great, all the included apps work fine. I seem to only be able to open one app at the time and can’t find any way to close it or change to a different one, but that may be a problem on my setup.

I still haven’t tried any 3rd party apps.

I remember a sepia monitor being used with an early IBM PC clone, it was not black and white or amber, and it was not an anti glare protection. I remember that detail because the phosphor tint was very different from the standard black and white TVs of the time.

I can confirm they existed but any other details have long left my memory.

I don’t pay more than 20€ for a game.

I have a very long backlog to play and feel no pressure to play the very latest releases. Being a patient game does have some perks. One of them is that I get to buy a lot more games (ence the backlog).

I read somewhere that the project is really hurting due to the original programmers having little to no time to devote to it, so I’m not expecting to run it on a Raspberry Pi anytime soon.

I wish I could help, but I’m no programmer.

I still have it installed (Haiku, actually) on a small 32-bit laptop that I boot occasionally just to marvel at how awesome it is.

A port to Arm or Risc V would be great, it seems like a natural match to small SBCs.

My first computer was a 48K Sinclair ZX Spectrum, when I was maybe 12 years old. That’s how old I am.

That’ll probably work. I used an old TP-Link 4 port WiFi router to do it. Flashed OpenWRT on it, set up the WiFi as client and bridged the ethernet ports off the WiFi. It’s not fast, but works.
