Follow-up on the console project from my previous post : Mock Design of the UI File Explorer

(More technical info in the Article)


It's been some time, but i actually managed to get quite a bit of the CPU to work! (Well...Guess i can't really call it a CPU, it's more of an interpreter, really) So today i've mostly decided to think about how the menu is going to look like and i came up with this!

So far, it looks a tiny bit bland, one huge issue is that i don't have a MicroSD Card reader for the chip, meaning i'm gonna have to make this work via a local server for the purpose of streaming files directly into it (At least until i actually do get a MicroSD Card Reader...)

In the meantime, i managed to get a pretty nice opcode list going, some of which draws to the screen, other being some general Assembly instructions (E.g. INC, DEC, JMP, etc)

While i'm working on this thing, i've had some thoughts about how i would realistically be able to distribute this thing, and i've gotten the idea to publish it on Github at some point!

For anyone eventually looking to play around with this thing (Once it comes out), just know that the current setup i'm making this in requires an ESP-WROOM-32 with a few buttons, a joystick, and an ST7789 Screen (240x240)

Looks like Windows 9X compatibility is at an all time high for me here, I'm sure there's probably 1-5 people who are excited about this, but i found it fun to be able to play on such an old OS

Decided to draw Pokémon for a bit out of boredom and as a bit of an art practice for myself

Honestly doesn't look a half bad for my first attempt at drawing Flareon here, lmk what you think!

Quest post - #Devruary (Decided to finally start answering these)

Learnt the hard way that backups can be VERY important, especially if it's on something you care about;

I've had some projects just completely corrupt themselves due to technical issues...
