Gigatron Hackers

Yes. The first idea was to mount the display also inside the box. But HDMI 7" or 10" displays are small and expensive - I don't like them. So this setup was to see what this VGA to HDMI converter can do - and it works quite well! Good to know, when it is needed. But now I found a 17" ...

My 2nd Gigatron build. This time, I wanted to mount if behind an old retro TFT.
The wood plate "clips" on the back of the Eizo Flexscan L568 TFT.
Can be detached/attached without any screws etc.

I found this nice wood box and could not resist to house one of my Gigatrons inside.
And with a VGA to HDMI adapter, it plays nicely at my 75" TV set

(I used this adapter: https://www.ebay.de/itm/255724092902 )

Hi. ok. But than mman.h / mmap() causes trouble: ../../build/glcc -o minilisp.gt1 minilisp.c -map=64k -rom=v5a minilisp.c:273: warning: implicit declaration of function `mmap' minilisp.c:273: undeclared identifier `PROT_READ' minilisp.c:273: undeclared identifier `PROT_WRITE' minilisp.c:273: undecla...

Hi. Great! But there is more to make minilisp.c compile: ich@iMac-von-ich minilisp % make ../../build/glcc -o minilisp.gt1 minilisp.c -map=64k -rom=v5a minilisp.c:190: syntax error; found `size_t' expecting `;' minilisp.c:226: unknown size for type `void' minilisp.c:247: syntax error; found `Obj' ex...

From what I remember app 10+ years ago, Allegro is way to heavy/big. Two more based on X11 (I know - X11 base must be exchanged towards Gigatron base..): Very simple an very small: https://www3.nd.edu/~dthain/courses/cse20211/fall2013/gfx/ A bit more complicated: https://github.com/Hermann-SW/ezxdis...

I wonder, if there is any graphics lib outside, that could be ported to work with glcc and Gigatron? Just a few I found by quick googling around: https://www.tilengine.org/ https://github.com/raysan5/raylib https://github.com/OneLoneCoder/olcPixelGameEngine Are there any others out there (Not relyin...

Very nice achievement!

Many thanks, Peter

@walter: I thought, I did empty the cache.. however, after I did it (again?), it now shows ROM v6 - thx. BTW: The online emulations seems to me buggy. Gt1 apps from glcc generated for ROMv5a do not run as expected. In gtemuAT67, they run fine as well as on real hardware - all fine. Maybe thats alrea...

@walter: Screen of online emulator still shows ROM v4? @lb3361: I found an issue with ROMv6 compared with ROMv5a. The SDCardBrowser app within Babelfish used in Pluggy Reloaded, does not work anymore!? Only flickering blue schreen. Switching back to ROMv5a - all works as expected and I can browse th...
