The PicoMite firmware would run on it, but it would not support HDMI and probably not most of its other features. Olimex mention that they have a schematic, but it is not available for download so you would be flying blind. Geoff Geoff Graham - http://geoffg.net |

Schematic is here on Github. Interesting that it uses the same pins as the HSTX for HDMI. I suspect it's come from the earlier HDMI stuff that was done for the RP2040. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

they call oplimex a 2040 board but I stuck a 2350 in it. it's fine but can't use a-d and sound out at the same time. matherp explained.  Edited 2024-12-13 04:08 by stanleyella |

You can't put one in this unless you desolder the RP2040 and solder in a RP2350. A nice exercise in SMD reworking. :) I'm not sure that I see the point in emulating an Apple II, Apple IIe or Oric Atmos TBH. It strikes me as being a "because it's there" sort of a thing.

Heathen! ;) How dare you say that to people who love their Speccy (crummy graphics and sound notwithstanding). :) Those games were great. For a start they were (mostly) affordable, not sold in expensive cartridges. The machine itself was within reach of a heck of a lot of families. There are some very playable games on that platform. There are compromises for cheap computers - there have to be - but I think they were made in the right places. I have a Pico running CP/M if you fancy playing Colossal Cave. :) Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

Mick, don't get me wrong, speccy was amazing at the time. I wrote a few games for it.     Edited 2024-12-13 06:36 by stanleyella |

there's been some good vga demos using trig and some seem 3d. there was a 3d trig function that rotated matrices in mmbasic but no one posted results. someone posted where's elite? indeed, could it be done? I only played it on zx spectrum and found it boring even though the 3d graphics were "better" than bbc micro z80 inside  Edited 2024-12-13 08:21 by stanleyella |

I got olimex and soldered long female headers but there was sound/a-d problems so breadboard 2350 pico 2 which I can use a scope prog to display audio sound using a-d. got to solder to vero and going to keep molex leads!  |

where is the 3d function in the manual now please? |

It will be a separate PDF in the final firmware download. Geoff Geoff Graham - http://geoffg.net |

geoff, it was in the manual but no feedback about and can't find it. thinking of rotating rocks that was new cos no one had done it. if I studied trig and googled 3d graphics then might do something but if there's a function then why reinvent the wheel? your fan stan |
