Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone had considered a path to write code / apps for the A20?

Any thoughts to share on the path you're taking?

I was pondering ideas of compiling the vice vic20 emulator and dropping it on there.

Taking a stab in the dark, I googled about, and QEMU got a mention as a means to emulate the Arm processor.

I've installed a debian linux onto it. I'm guessing I'll suffer from shared library clashes for sure with this path, but oh well, just thought I'd take any path I could find and just learn a few lessons to guide me to a better path next time.

linux-sunxi.org/Toolchain

What I've done for small programs is to follow the instructions for the sunxi tools (using the sunxi toolchain) and then compile the program as a static binary to avoid library version clashes.

I don't understand why PCUAE manager has extra disk if you can't change the disk via the carousel. Jul 5, 2024 11:50:12 GMT
