Running Windows CE on the Nintendo 64

ASM-editor is a modern web application for writing, executing and learning M68K assembler code (and MIPS, RISC-V, X86), which uses the SvelteKit framework and the Rust programming language.

Since our last news item, among other things, an introductory course on general assembly languages and an AI assistant in each editor that takes control of the editor and the emulator have been added.

I have code for 1 KiB PageGrain on MIPS qemu, which should enable a demonstration of handling a case very near VAX 512 B pages while seamlessly guaranteeing within-allocation-unit promotions to 4 KiB and 16 KiB for 64 KiB allocation units and also seamlessly handling superpage promotions to sizes that are power-of-four multiples of 64 KiB. I think there may have been some testing of a similar scenario using 256 KiB allocation units on LoongArch, but while it was verified that it didn't crash, not much was done to make sure that effective use was being made of sub- allocation unit -sized superpages esp. when there were multiple superpage sizes available between the minimum MMU mapping granularity and the kernel allocation unit.

Rolling pgcl forward to 7.0 and the intermediate pre-7.1 somehow resuscitated binutils issues with running LTP and DAMON on hppa and some others, but it got to having no LTP regressions vs. master on 16 arches. I still need to induce enough fragmentation within a qemu session to be able to observe non-negligible defragmentation costs that might be reduced.

Jalgrattakiiver Nutcase Shark Gloss MIPS 48-52cm: Laste jalgrattakiiver Nutcase Shark Gloss MIPS

Nutcase’i kiivrid on viimase 5 aasta jooksul olnud ohutuse ja mugavuse valdkonnas oma ala liidrid.  Nutcase kasutab tehnoloogilisel tipptasemel MIPS-süsteemi, mis on hetkel kiivrite puhul üks turvalisemaid. https://tootemaailm.ee/jalgrattakiiver-nutcase-shark-gloss-mips-48-52cm/ #jalgrattakiiver #Nutcase #MIPS #lastekiiver #turvalisus

I was gonna hold off on posting about it until I successfully got something installed on it, but that's proving to be harder than I expected.

This Lemote Yeeloong netbook arrived on the 1st, and is a pretty cool little device, using entirely free software drivers and firmware. #RMS even used to daily-drive one of these.

I'm hoping to get some form of #Slackware on it, most likely through #Bonslack, so stay tuned :)

Linux 7.0 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Learn something new every day! Today's lesson: a fundamental difference between x86 and ARM is how the return address for a function call is passed. The x86 CALL puts it on the stack, while ARM puts it not on the stack but in a register (Link Register LR, X30).

Now today's lesson comes from TAMUCTF2026, and it is about MIPS. There, the return address is also passed as register, just like on ARM. On MIPS, it's the Return Address register ($RA / $31).
