#uxn running on my Zaurus Husky :3 🦖🐶

It's uxn38, running the timer ROM from its example programs! I made a custom rootfs with buildroot and an old kernel on an SD card. I wanna make something out of this cute little puter and #uxn seems to be a good fit!

no way! And it's kindda usable. I need to do an optimization pass on oquonie, I think it could be made to run at a reasonable speed!

@neauoire Ho that would be neat! This video though only shows the result of a very quick&dirty setup, I might be able to get some more performance out of the Zaurus! Or not! I'm gonna find out 😀

uxn11 has a couple of optimizations done to the screen device, you might be able to use some of it.

If you cache the short values of the screen ports, it might make a little difference: https://git.sr.ht/~rabbits/uxn11/tree/main/item/src/devices/screen.c#L222

In any case, keep sharing pictures of your setup! It looks like the ideal format for uxn things, Left + drifblim would make for a really neat little dev station.

@neauoire I wanted to use uxn11 but couldn't because I didn't configure buildroot in a way that would let SDL2 compile. I'll try that next, we'll see if it runs faster with uxn11 😀

(I didn't write uxn38 btw, sorry if I made it sound like I did. It just happened to use SDL1 which was convenient for my setup at that moment! But I might dive into an emulator to see if I can make it faster on this particular platform)

keep me posted 😀 I know zzo38 who made the emulator, they're always hanging out in the irc chatroom if you have questions!

uxn11 don't use SDL2, it's written for X11

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

@neauoire Oh sorry I got confused with another uxn emulator… X11 is also an option I briefly tested but it didn't work outright, I'll try again.

maybe I can help if you run into an issue 😀 let me know and good luck!
