Now that we have a basic system design for the Ember CPU, GPU, and PIA, we need some startup firmware to get things up and running…

New video up! Check out what I've been working on... some of the music for the brand new Sega Genesis /MD port of the original, classic Metal Gear!
See the game on Genesis and how it compares to the original on MSX2 and the later NES release!

Last night I was working on the mouse driver. It is starting to work...
Still needs some tweaks, cursor pointer and most important "double buffer" for restoring replaced chars on screen.
I'm thinking about making super simple drawing program for my OS.
Got myself this old Atari Mega ST2 couple weeks ago. Currently fixing up this yellowed old boy to look its best next to my pristine Atari 800xl setup #retro #atari #16bit #atarist #retrocomputing
Splash screen implemented (for 80 and 40 columns.)
Next step: refactor and upgrade toolbar with sub-menus.
Today the wonderful SD4ST+ cart arrived: a surrogate for a hard drive, providing two microSD cart slots. The seller also sent (as a gift) his "Atari ST Power USB Cart/Dongle" to get USB power from the dongle side-port of the SD. Ideal for powering the SD4ST+!

Reading files is done. Now I can include the manual with my OS :)
Two text modes supported: 80x25 and 40x25. Toggled live.
Kernel: 2505 bytes
p.s. new icons :)
Switching gears back to Ember for a bit, I'm updating the emulator and debugger with changes since my last round of blog posts on the Project Ember implementation, including adding rudimentary syntax highlighting to the debugger disassembly display!

Idea for the UI.
27x custom 1bit characters, 8x16.

Awesome! I just found a working 5.25 inch, 1.2MB disk image of Microsoft's Entertainment Pack 4 for Windows 3.x. A version I had not seen before. I just love these big, floppy, oldschool disks!

- Updated logo (to work with the 1px font gap) and icons
- did some golf coding and reduced the size of kernel to 928 bytes
Circuit board bodge of the day: Socketzilla! 🙄
I had some of the pins off by 1, so needed to shift them...
