PSA: If you want to help 86Box emulation accuracy, the project is seeking dumps of ISA plug-and-play cards' PnP ROMs to facilitate more accurate emulation. Here's how you can dump your retro rig's PnP ROMs easily:

1. Download https://github.com/86Box/probing-tools/releases/download/2024-02-06/probing-tools-2024-02-06.zip
2. Put isapnp/ISAPNP.EXE on your retro PC
3. Run ISAPNP.EXE on the retro PC (if you have many ISA cards, consider running it many times as to cover them all)
4. Respond to this Fediverse message with a ZIP file containing the output .BIN files!

Sound Blaster and ESS Audiodrive dumps are particularly sought after by the project (including duplicates - a few undocumented revisions have been spotted this way), but any and all dumps will be useful long-term! Thank you!

@foone@digipres.club I assume you're familiar with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz4uDk7S0po already, then?

@whitequark@mastodon.social i am afraid to ask what "vacation" entails for you because there's an exactly 50/50 chance between "taking rest and relaxing" and "incredible violence"

Finally, I will learn how to draw!

Is there a way to strip specifically DWARF5 debug information from an ELF file? NO$GBA does not support DWARF5 and will crash on files containing such debug information, so I wonder if I could easily create a "filter" tool that creates a NO$GBA-compliant ELF file even if some libraries are mistakenly compiled with DWARF5 debug information.

In 2000, the WonderSwan received a web browser supporting a subset of HTML 3.2, tables, GIF files, reading Japanese text, bookmarks, and cookies - all on a handheld competing with the Game Boy Color.

From 2004, it no longer worked due to a missing gateway server. UNTIL TODAY.

I wrote a tutorial, so you can make it work again too, if you want!

It's up on my blog: https://blog.asie.pl/2023/08/browsing-the-web-wonderswan-2023/

... Apple? Is this the "Game Porting Toolkit" you've showcased at WWDC? Is that... Is that just WINE?

Heads-up: Just because Nintendo is pulling the plug on releasing 3DS software, doesn't mean unofficial developers will. There's potential left in that system, though it's harder on a shoestring budget and a niche audience. I still want to port ZZT and make other things someday! <3

PSA: Have you been a DS homebrew developer in 2008-2009? AntonioND is leading a project to archive lost versions of PAlib - maybe you have some on your hard drive? (PALib_*.7z files)
