This'll definitely solve my SD card storage problems! 😆

Ah yes, the print I forgot to watch for two hours had to do this... (Based on some of the parts stuck to it, it failed really early as well)

Need a time machine so I can go back and make USB 1.5 to have more speed on my MCUs 😆 (I heard there are a lot of numbers between 12 and 480)

Wow, the aliexpress board clones never end... (They seem to really hate rounded corners though)

Ah yes, the GBA cart reader that swapped cartridges for hard drives... (I'm surprised that I correctly remembered where this was)

One problem with me working on my 386 emulator is that I don't actually own any hardware between an 8088 and a Pentium III. 🤔 (I think it's a III, the sticker disagrees but the hardware in that laptop is a mess of replaced parts...)

Ah, think I accidentally killed my Fruit Jam's speaker...

Not sure these two could be much more different...

Whoops, wrong game.

Finally, all the debug probe cables are useful! (Though I did use the one with pins to program an STM32 once)

Oh no, I got jam on my desk!

Yay, unscheduled reboot due to power going out.

This was an ESPecially silly idea 😆 (Very unoptimised debug build)

Hmm, I wonder why these two IOs don't work through flexypins. 🤦 (This is something I threw together quickly, then forgot about. Also I made the reverse mistake in a bunch of other places but that doesn't matter)

The name of the flag for the big overclock:

Most of my RP2xxx projects end up overclocking. The fact that the CnC ports are one of the things that don't is still fun. (Silly little demos: MORE SPEED. Two entire games: nah, default is fine)

Well, this was a silly idea.

Making correctness changes expecting it to get slower... but no, it got consistently faster... Uh, not going to complain about that.

The most unrealistic thing about this PC emulator has the be the entirely silent booting 😆

🤔 More ideas for rewriting large chunks of my CPU code. (Sorry to the other projects I'm neglecting, I guess)

Silly numbers from running the same benchmark in the emulator running on my 5-ishGHz desktop. Except uncached disk reads for some reason.

I should stop giving projects silly names because I don't think they're going to work. They keep working out... (Though the computer emulator probably is average, considering that I keep seeing articles about the other one)

If only I had a board with video and at least 16 consecutive spare IOs... Then I could combine two projects and boot my 386 emulator from an actual hard drive. 🤔

Oh, my HSTX-based builds overclock fine if I jump straight to 500MHz. Guess it just doesn't like odd dividers. (Yes, now I'm abusing the only spare stamp I have too)

Because not using the onboard microsd slot wasn't enough, now I'm not using the onboard usb port!

*replaces class 2 microSD card with class 10* *performance goes down* Hmm, yes I forgot that SD cards don't make sense.

"Tip: Install more RAM" Okay, as soon as someone makes a 16MB PSRAM 😆

Tempted to make a "VGA demo board" for stamps, but I'd have to try to figure out a pinout that would work with both of my stamp options. 🤔

I just noticed that the window title in my SDL builds is still "DaftBoySDL". I imagine the amount of code shared between the two emulators is tiny at this point 🤔

Oh, looks like a got all the followers. 😆

Video timing is fun.

Now I have VGA emulation working on my VGA board 😆. Bit unstable though, needs more work. Though I'm suddenly feeling that I don't have enough keyboards for this...

Tired to see haw far I could get with some RP2350 overclocking, but mostly just upset my monitor... 🤔

Hmm I have a display bug that is now breaking my disk code. Fun. (Seems that my "display goes blank when shutting down windows" bug is actually locking up the core)

I've just seen another "386 on a microcontroller" project... and I thought this was a silly idea that would never work 😆

I took a break and made a model of the PC from the windows 95 setup... for some reason. 🤷

Hmm, not something I want to be seeing while working on disk code... (Testing with windows because it breaks so easily 😆)

I should get my 640x480 LCD working so I can see what this new PC emulator is like on the other stamp. 🤔 (Either that or jumper wire it to my VGA board)

These benchmark results raise some questions... (Also really overoptimistic about the CPU type there)

Mmm, I see replies with questions over on the other side... 🤔

I may not have a GPU or floating point... or more than 16 colours but I do have... 3D Pipes. 😆

Some people run Debian on their raspberry pi. Not me. I'm running it on a Pico. Not that I can log in due to how slow this is. 😆 (Okay, it's an rp2350 stamp, but...)

I may have lost track of time slightly on the thing I've been doing...

[random old Lego post] Found a bag full of mostly technic gears, but also... A big pile of slizer disks 🤔

Instead of designing some new hardware for this I just made a less nasty adapter... 🤔 (But now there's a USB port on the top and bottom, whoops)

Tidied up the @pimoroni.com Pico DV "HSTX-ifier" a bit... (With a nicer pinout than the prototype as well)

This was obviously the correct use of that 3d printing coupon 😆 (Problem is now I can see all the wonky bits)

*looking through JLC order history* Huh, what's this thing... Did I do anything with that? [some digging in a box later] Apparently I did make this thing and did nothing with it... (The board is an LCD backlight driver, probably for one of the many panels I have lying around 🤔)

Putting a lot of effort into making this code worse 😆

I forgot about the larger display board I made before the smaller one... 🤔 (I should order the fixed version at some point)
