Okay, I made the thing without instructions for compiling on ARM compile on ARM.

(This screenshot is actually from the version I'm building in parallel on an x86 system for comparative purposes.)

#emulation #BBCmicro #BeebEM

Just updated #BeebEm, a BBC Micro and Master emulator, to the latest version.

Fun to play BBC Micro games on (most of the games are easy to load since they are disk images, but for tape images, it's a bit more complicated), and also a great way to show running teletext feeds like Teefax, Chunkytext, and Nathan Dane's #Ceefax, based on my experiences with BeebEm.

because it seems i'm actually doing a thing with it, i've moved beebem for unix to https://github.com/beebem-unix/beebem

#beebem

and just like that... https://github.com/dominichamon/beebem/tree/cmake builds and installs.

and as a neat side-effect, it runs on OSX (yes, even M1)!

i need some more testing to check all the options, and i'd appreciate help, but yaaaay.

#beebem #retrocomputing

Splendid! Is that the same #beebem that people still use today?

(Maybe if you reduce your screen resolution to something just a bit more than #riscos uses before launching, that would help?)

I've been asked to give a talk on #beebem that I wrote in ~1994; I'm doing archaeology on my own filesystems; a path in a tar:

-rw-rw-rw- 1000/users 219 1994-10-16 21:06 gallifrey-misc/offtardis/backup/A440back/BEEBEM/H/beebmem

so that's a file I wrote in 1994 probably on my ARM3 Acorn A440, that was copied onto my 1st PC (~94), then my Alpha ('tardis' ~97), then my Dual athlon (Gallifrey), then has followed around a few more in between.
