It's the week of the noodle(.tal)! After weeks of painstaking ps/2 driver trial and error, the Mouse device is now working in #uxnfloppy as well! @tbsp #uxn #osdev #theWorkshop #theFurnace
Am I guessing correctly that it's a bootloader-level uxn implementation? Or is it a custom OS that bootloads uxn roms? Or is it a DOS implementation of #uxn?
@glitchpop @rl_dane it's currently a bootloader that loads a custom "os"/program (~2000 loc 16bit x86 assembly) that can interpret a bundled uxn .rom file. it uses vga for gfx and ps/2 for mouse input. the plan is to have a FAT partition that one can drop any number of roms into when its written to a floppy disk or usb stick (not sure how feasable that is), and also allow roms to read/write files (so that one can use Left to edit txt files for example).
@gustav I've been pondering using Uxn as a way to host a simple "kids learning laptop" on older laptops, including a mix of various ROMs. Something akin to this: https://www.japantrendshop.com/sumikko-gurashi-pc-premium-p-6443.html, but using existing hardware. Similar projects are things like Qimo, Edubuntu, DoudouLinux, or the GCompris program. uxnfloppy could be a great host VM for something like that.

yea, not quite sure what that is.. maybe related to the vsync or "blit to screen" code. will investigate it further after I try 640x480 mode!
