A friend attending #ICML just sent me a photo of this front runner for best poster award.
@mdreid Wait, you can run Linux on a Game Boy Advance™ [sic]?
@pjohanneson @mdreid
Thats the one thing which surprised me too. I very much doubt being able to run current linux kernel on hardware with that little amount of memory and that limited set of CPU instructions.
Wish we could have a discussion about this with the original author.

@basisbit @pjohanneson @mdreid I haven't Linux'd in a while, but is it not still incredibly modular? I was always able to pair it down shockingly well. Back in the day, Emacs-as-init boot floppies still worked.

All you need is a kernel and Emacs.

Really.

Emacs is browser, Emacs is IRC, Emacs is e-mail, Emacs is love, Emacs is life. 🤪

@alice @basisbit @mdreid
Yeah, I was about 50/50 on whether that was a joke, myself. I know Linux can be very, very small.

(vi for me, enjoy your Emacs, :wq)

@pjohanneson @alice @basisbit @mdreid GBA only has 256 kB RAM, so there's no way to fit Linux in there (OTOH, it might be possible to include extra RAM in a cartridge).
