#risc_os

And today #Wordpress plugin to get #RISC_OS Community #Github updates on retro browsers! GitHub starting to work on IE4 basically!

Retro web browsing the modern way! Almost completed a set of plugins and themes to transform the latest #wordpress into a retro browsing platform including an MPEG-1 encoder to watch videos! Behold latest WP on NetSurf and #risc_os !Browse! #riscos

oh boy, lots of #RISC_OS code, lots of it! lol But I had a fun weekend, plus
a friend of mine's commentary on the EV is priceles as usual. Pushed all the changes for this weekend and all RISC OS activities will resume the next one! time for some sleep! :)

A huge thank you to Andy Marks of @RISCOSbits for kindly donating a custom #RISC_OS 5 ROM image allowing my #Acorn RISCPC to use #NVMe SSD natively - meaning the machine now runs entirely solid state. This build should be at @tnmoc next month & @computermuseum in November!

@FediTips am disappointed that #risc_os is not represented.

Whats this? Could I be playing with a #RISC_OS build again? ... Maybe? ... This runs #ARM native & without need for slow SD card! Interesting few days recording new content coming soon!

It's alive! After a few years of battling with the #RISC_OS #kernel ... something new and magic is coming up very soon and oh boy if it's exciting!

#riscos is alive and well, worries not!

#RISC_OS New updates for both the 2 RO AIs, lots of improvements for both! Thanks a lot to all the people helping with this project! It's great to see the community coming together Details on ROOL's forum:

#AI for #Retrocomputing and #Retrocoding #programming #riscos #ARM #AcornComputers #LLM

#RISC_OS happy and very stable under some call stack trashing tests. The test suite is growing, yet good olde RO remains stable and highly resilient to mistreatments and security hacks like never before, thanks to UltimaVM abstraction layer! Even when these tests are ran in fragile Task Win
#riscos #retrocomputing

It's been 40 years I waited for this, but I can finally say, using UltimaVM on top of RO makes #RISC_OS actually modern! None of these naugthy tests even makes RISC OS blink an eye (and with UltimaVM task Scheduler not even freeze the desktop while running)!

I am delighted to announce that the 2nd of four #risc_os AI Assistants, designed for beginners and those wanting to enjoy playing with AI and BBC BASIC, is now available to everyone!

#RISC_OS #ChatGPT Daily #SWI

#OS_ReadC (&04): Reads a character from the current input stream. On exit, R0 holds the ASCII code (C flag = 0) or an error code (C flag = 1, &1B indicates Escape). The input stream can be changed with OS_Byte 2. Not re-entrant; interrupts are enabled​.

Added automatic disassembly for bytecode addresses that generated an exception in UltimaVM! Knowns the module, the address and thread/task. Nice touch it also disassemble the relative label is present and adds useful columns description, this below the error message:

#riscos #RISC_OS #vm #bytecode #disassembly #programming #coding

#RISC_OS #ChatGPT Daily #SWI

#OS_NewLine (&03): Outputs a line feed (ASCII 10) followed by a carriage return (ASCII 13) to the current output streams. This SWI is used to move the cursor to the start of a new line. Interrupts are enabled, and it is not re-entrant.

#riscos

#RISC_OS #ChatGPT Daily #SWI

#OS_Write0 (&02): Outputs a null-terminated string from the address in R0. If WrchV is intercepted, it calls OS_WriteC; otherwise, it calls the VDU driver (faster). On exit, R0 points to the byte after the null terminator. IRQs are enabled. #riscos

#RISC_OS #ChatGPT Daily #SWI

OS_WriteS (&01): Outputs a null-terminated string directly following the SWI in memory to the current output stream. The return address is modified to skip the string. Not re-entrant; interrupts are enabled. Use for efficient embedded string output.

#RISC_OS #ChatGPT Daily #SWI

#OS_WriteC (&00): Outputs a single character (ASCII code in R0) to the current output stream. If the stream is a terminal, the character appears on-screen. Invalid codes are ignored. Preserves registers (except R0). Use for direct character output.

News! The #risc_os AI User Guide just got a new update:

Better guidance on mouse use in RISC OS
Expanded comparisons of RO 3.1x, 3.60, 3.70, & 5

Big thanks for your feedback and patience!
Happy Holidays!

A bit late to post this on Iconbar! So the #RISC_OS Advent 2024 goes on socials! Happy Holidays, all! Here's a sneak peek at the progress on UltimaVM, a fast bytecode interpreter and unified API for RISC OS 26, 32, and future 64bit, as well as other OSes and architectures!
