Aha! You got me ;) Banter aside; I was basically on a tunnel-vision/nerd-snipe/however you want to call it to get it to run; GCC report is still coming. It’s just that I’ve never s…

It does require an MMU technically, this kernel is built with that in mind but I see no mention of uCLibc whatsoever on the kernel log (Or that I remember out of all the files I sa…

I was actually thinking, if memory is the bottleneck; I could always go with the Saturn instead (Or find a way to have the 32X catridge writes go through…; but I’m no EE unfortunat…

Ah, that'd be it then; it would've been such a cool experiment. Regardless, I don't really know if there's the notion of an SMP-enabled m68k board based on Linux so I would not rea…

I actually didn't know the THUMB thing; pretty interesting stuff... The branch delay slots/load delay slots thing was also something that plagued some MIPS processors back then too…

Hi! Nice to see you here. Yes so, this was tested within a software context; the ASIC that does the bus arbitration on the side of the 32X has some of the required pins as N/C. The…

That was something I also noticed; I can't say for sure (Since I haven't yet checked) but I feel like I may have done something incorrect when wiring the FRT (The timer) to the sec…

Not a silly question actually. There's really clever ways you can get down to scratch that space-saving itch; I'm not knowledgeable about it either (I'm just really bad when it com…

Hi! Honestly, no idea if Krikkz's Extended SSFv2 is even implemented on MiSTer. I'd have to check but considering the rarity of it I'd be surprised if it was there. Porting Linux t…

It's kinda like "Running DOOM on x"

Hi! I'm basically forwarding UART data from the SH2s over to the M68K using a simple communication channel. Since the SH2s don't really have "direct" access to the Genesis's I/O po…

After testing the waters with a Linux for Jaguar port; I basically set myself to get similar results on the 32X add-on for the Sega Genesis. Turns out that, even without hardware s…

Do you happen to be fifteenhex?

Hi! Glad you liked it. In theory it should be possible I think? I don't exactly recall the memory differences (Chip RAM vs Fast RAM and all that) but assuming you have enough Chip/…

Hi! Thanks for all your work honestly, I saw the patches and most (If not all...) were necessary to boot the kernel. As for the mainline stuff: Sure! May I reach out to see how I c…

Anytime! As for 80 columns... I'd probably need to choose a different (Narrower) font. With a bit smaller font I reckon it should be feasible to have it (Since current one has 8x8 …

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

I basically wrote them down as they came to my mind, but I agree. I'm still waiting to find a decently priced Falcon 030...

Absolutely! You could possibly develop a custom mapper that provides extra RAM (I guess memory bank switching would need to happen) plus the ROM but as far as I'm aware it's not av…

I'm awaiting some screenies from a peer that has the flash cart for the Jaguar; don't worry, they'll get added! I have both the Jaguar and the Jaguar CD but don't have the flash ca…

Ah yes, I'm more worried about the actual limits of what the combination of Linux + the initramfs can let us do (Memory wise, mostly). In theory it should be feasible but I'm not t…

I think it could be feasible (Like, embedding the utils), but I'm not too sure how I'd handle the "upload" of the RISC code for the Tom (While at the same time it's driving the Lin…

Not that I blame you... in comparison with pretty much the rest of cartridge-based systems, the available flash cart is priced higher (And AFAIK no DIY open-source ones exist). AvP…

I've actually thought of that, but the memory space is so limited that I feel it'd be impossible. Also considering the fact that no official memory banking solutions exist for the …
