Baby's first flow override in #Ghidra. :neofox_uwu:
Thanks to someone in a thread started by Foone about #16bit #x86 segmentation cursedness I know that you can do a far jump with a far return by pushing CS and PC to the stack. After changing the flow to a call Ghidra seems to correctly decompile it.
The fact that it seems to be a weird as hell software implementation of an interrupt is another matter... :puppycat_saying_butt:

@PaulaMaddox @rasteri @polpo which makes total sense...

Personally, if I had like €1M I'd propably consider starting a company that basically builds a "#TinyRetro" with like a #FlashFloppy, #PicoGUS, #QuadFlop and all the other parts (incl. #IDE controller & IDE->SATA Adaptor) on a #MiniITX form factor (with one of those SOMs) and a spare #ISA slot which then fits into a compact case like the #M350 or similar.

Think of it as a faster alternative to the #NuXT...

  • And OFC I'd offer both #FreeDOS & @OS1337 as options (the latter one mostly for diagnostics and data recovery)...

Beach pirates – pirates attacks beach and dangerous sharks monsters

And this is my drawing based on Urban Strike (MegaDrive). Also such a drawing about helicopter. It was detected at the islands a pirates. Beach is under attack by pirates. And you are send to fix it. Take on your sunglasses. After VHS watch. At their pirates island.

The change from 8bit to 16bit was huge as you can see from this images. Both images are from the same game and very same screen. The game is "Jabato" a Spanish interactive fiction game of the 80s.

On the left you can see the 8bit MSX version, on the right you can see the 16bit Commodore Amiga 500 version.

I'm wondering whether to go all-in on a silly little coding adventure: a defrag simulator.

Some people find these satisfying to watch.

I can see a way for it to start simple, but then grow subtleties. Its current direction is targeting 16-bit and 32-bit look and feel, like Amiga fast defraggers.

It uses colours now, but I want to make it more accessible.

I also want to make it open source, when I won't be embarrassed by the code.

We're seeing some great progress on the hardware (FPGA) implementation of the Ember CPU! The Verilog simulation of the CPU on a Cyclone V FPGA in QuestaSim can now process LDI (Load Immediate) and MOV instructions. Next step, the ALU!
