Hyperbola GNU/Linux user. My main tools came from https://t3x.org, and https://github.com/howerj it's for fun (and sometimes enlightening purposes). tmux, tcc/cproc, oksh, nvi... keep it simple, stupid.

    Once you control the hosts CPU it's game over for the guest. The best you can do is to fetch old PPC G4 Apple computers or Thinkpads.

    As a good example of what Common LIsp can do in real life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACL2 On more mundane software, both Maxima and FriCAS are good examples (Math CAS). On game…

    Good. Get either SBCL or CCL for it. As for the editor, on modern 64 bit machines, trying setting up either Mine or Lem. On legacy 32 bit ones, Emacs+Slime+SBCL/CCL.

    Also I'd love an Alan Wake PSX demake with the Resident Evil portview engine/graphics (easier, it has a WIP port for Scummvm) or the Parasite Eve one, which are really close. PE 1 …

    You can map this syntax to a Lisp (be Common Lisp or Scheme) with ease. Macros will do the 90% of the job for this. There's some Common Lisp package to code for the web: https://gi…

    MAME and Proton are not the same at all. You can reuse Wine/Proton libraries even on Windows.

    Pattern matching and replacing can be Turing Complete, from sed to rewriting languages. So it's just a matter of combinatorics. https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/rewriting.html

    Also the author forgot Cataclsym DDA:Bright Nights. Contrary to the former CDDA, here you have a proper ending. If you like something like a blend between a 2D Minecraft, object cr…

    Get Shadowrun 2058 for the Genesis/MegaDrive version ROM plus an IPS patcher and enjoy a much better gameplay experience (and balancing). On Deus Ex (the first one) installing GMDX…

    That would be cool... in 2001. After emulation and such, I had more interest on emulating old and weird hardware such as the WonderSwan, Pokémon MIni and Neo Geo Pocket.

    COBOL is not about the language, it's about the whole environment in the mainframe. LLM fanboys won't understand this. You need something like a mainframe with a 99.99% uptime no m…

    FreeBSD is not GPL and in that era FreeBSD was almot the low-level Mac OS X testground for ex-FreeBSD developers working for Apple.
