When Windows runs/ran on mutiicore CPUs, core 0 did all the I/O. If core1 needed input, it had to get core 0 to stop what it was doing, do the input and then continue again. This might slow things down. That might have been true in the 90s ;) Yeah, with multi socket configurations there is no guara...

I have to say that I think Windows 10 is awful. It does not even look nice and to add spice to the mix, the Panda has no cooling and thus runs so hot that the the Z8350 has to be throttled to 0.77 Ghz. See pic below:- Cant really blame Win10 for bad hardware design :-) Pi also suffers from this and...

That’s because it’s really old now. And been recased. It’s a GPD Win 1

I have just gone forth and rejoiced. I bought a LattePanda recently thinking that I might use it to make a QPC-in-keyboard computer. The Panda is a tiny (not fpga) windows 10 PCB:- https://www.lattepanda.com/products/1.html. LattePand.jpg I downloaded and extracted the QPC zip file. I then created ...

Interesting question is on a BBQL are the pixels always square? (also this goes for the clones). No they are not. In 512x256 QL MODE 4, I double horizontally and triple vertically for VESA standard 1024x768 on 4:3 monitor. That roughly provides the QL aspect ratio seen on CRT historically. Thanks I...

No, its just not automated yet!

I think the problem might be the video driver being set to "SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP" at line 90 in SDL2screen.c. Given that the driver name is RPI and not one of those others listed -- "x11", "cocoa" or "windows". I think you over thought that, looks li...

Hi there, was just wondering if someone has got spare back plane or one that they no longer need? What I am really after I suppose is an extension board that extends the motherboard expansion socket up to the end of the QL casing so that I don't have to fiddle and jiggle my Gold card in order to lo...

I did use ICE on a Trumpcard with a Miracle Hard Drive, but I find the ICE/GEM Front End very cumbersome to use. It really needs a PTR_GEN file to look at the ICE mouse on the ROM port.

The section of ptr_gen that deals with reading mouse info is pretty simple and self documenting.
