@paulrickards Impressive! My PocketCHIP sits beyond my displays on the wall ledge. I've not used it in a few years.

What emulator is that?

The "keyboard" on the thing as is is pretty abysmal. I started to try and pull the clear adhesive sheet off, not realizing that was all that was holding the "key caps" in place -- figured it out before too late, thankfully.

PICO-8 For PocketCHIP

@extrowerk Do you know any other cheap handheld device able to run *BSD? I also have a #PocketCHIP, which runs #Linux, but it's very slow...
saw a video the other day of someone making a silicon keyboard for a membrane keyboard and I thought of doing the same thing for my #PocketCHIP that has been sitting on a shelf for a while. Got my partner to 3D print a mold and some silicon, and it turned out way better than I expected ✨ makes typing on this thing way better
maybe not very practical but still cool to see #pidgin with the #meshtastic plugin running on a #pocketchip 🤓
I know that the mutated people aren't really worth 30% of the drawing routines, functions, iteration, basic defines and #PocketCHIP) and how it's all the different regions, DVR recordings, but not for sale for less than one or two, as a discriminant or instead use really crappy technologies instead of youtube-dl
Thanks whomever now has my #pocketChip from the #oggcamp2024 swaps table.
Enjoy it!

Now I'm getting somewhere with my crappy music making setup.

I've got everything I need except talent and/or any musical knowledge whatsoever, so that's next to figure out~

#pocketCHIP update:
- 3D printed a case and keyboard (the keyboard designer decided NOT to include letters on the keys).
- Managed to update the apt sources to the Debian Jessie archives and update pretty much everything (but I'm not going to play with fire, staying on Jessie)
- Got the terminal version of #Orca compiled and running with portmidi

Now I'm trying to compile a newer version of SDL2 so I can run a newer version of #SunVox (I want that multi-instrument midi in goodness)

If all goes well I'll have a very neat little portable instrument ~
