What's so interesting about the ? I've read the spec sheet. In practice what makes it more or less compelling than a ?

How hard is it to port existing or ASM code to the F256K? Has anyone upgraded the CPU to a yet?

@thorpej This is what I don’t like about the memory layout. Whilst you get 48KB of fixed RAM, the bankable region is only 8KB. This makes it inefficient for storing code and kind of a pain working with data > 8KB that is packed throughout the total binary, compressed art / levels, for example

@anniethebruce yeah...
Basically it's been turned into some commercial product.

Amd whilst they can't opensource or share the BASIC & KERNAL they could at least not go out of theor way to prevent others from iterating upon it and buy that ROM through them legitimately.

The / thus is more a toy for & fans that want something they can easily hook up to a modern TV.

THE in comparison looks like an open architecture.beyond the ability to make expansion cards.

Am I alone in being interested in understanding / reverse engineering software OTHER THAN games?

If I'm not alone, what stuff would you want to see migrated to maintainable code, probably , and MAYBE ported to the or the .

Do you think a version of the with the internal expansion slots of the would have been successful?

I've always wondered why such a system never happened back in the day. There are parts of the memory that could have been remapped without breaking much -- the cassette buffer comes to mind. I'm quite happy the has such slots. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one!
