Wow, that brings back memories. I was allowed an Acorn palmtop to do work at school, then upgraded to a Psion 5. Did my first bit of coding on it, but it was just copying text from a magazine/website, none of it original. Created a "piano" once, which was quite cool.

Did you write code for machines in the and ?

We're calling for you to open source your code!

I'm working with a group of enthusiasts, building a library of information about the SIBO/EPOC16 platform. Your old code could give valuable insight, as well as encourage people to write new code.

We're especially interested in old C and .

Upload it to your public repository of choice, and set it free!

@mdf200 here ya go, my old Windows Speccy emulator still works (on Windows 10, I am amazed) captured using camera pointing at the screen (because IDK how to screen cap Windows stuff) this is 224x168 scaled with some lookup tables. And to be clear it is scaled in 16 bit color space so the applicability to really low end devices is questionable, but works fine on 80-100MHz ARM devices like the PocketPC and even some slower SH4 or MIPS based PocketPCs IIRC. And, evidently I am crap at playing Nodes.
