#RISC_OS I keep seeing people posting that ShareFS does not work on RPCEmu when in NAT also on macOS, that is NOT entirely true 😉

Yes, I'm sorry I'm late with my obligatory photo of Archive magazine, but I've been away and only just got back¹. But it was nice to find this waiting for me.

¹ I'd have posted a day earlier if the airline hadn't delayed the flight by 24 hours.

RISC OS Merlin, multi-core VDU driver in testing.

#RISC_OS: antoher tough piece of work for Merlin, an extended and fully multi-core VDU driver. It's working and cores can do VDU requests who are being rendered correctly on the screen.

And yes it's ugly 😂 I need to make a video of the tests, but I have so many things to do that I don't know...

And also: I got home from #RISC_OS North three days ago. I think I've recovered enough to switched on a computer at home this evening to post an announcement on RISCOSitory and (if it works this week) usenet.

Home. Longer drive back from #RISC_OS North (nearly four hours) than the drive up (three).

Unusually long for the drive home, and unusually short for the drive up - but that, I suspect, is the benefit of heading up a day early.

I will test this theory on future trips.

Come and see a real novelty, but still useful, device at the RISC OS North Show on Saturday.

Other than that, the game remains as far from complete as it was at London.

I did start looking at moving one of the critters, but decided if I continued I'd spend too much time on it and end up under pressure to get ready for #risc_os North (I'm heading up tomorrow).

Talks are RISC OS Dev/Orpheus, R-Comp. ROOL, and Sine Nomine - I received the schedule yesterday evening and updated riscosnorth.uk accordingly. Looks like this article was written earlier in the day.

But otherwise: quick preview from @iconbar.com

Due to an undetected issue in the build pipeline last night this weekend #RISC_OS ShreFSServer alpha builds did not get on the distirbution server, my apologies to all the testers.

The issue is now resolved and build 0.1.3 is available for testing using the usual URL.

Thanks.

#RISC_OS Merlin is officially fully multi-cores! All #RaspberryPi 2 cores reach Kernel Idle Threads and can process both IRQs and SWIs, a picture of a test session using QEMU to measure everything that was going on.

Eek!

I am probably less prepared for this one than I have ever been for a #RISC_OS show.

(And the fact that I'm normally terrible and very much a last minute prep guy, the fact that I'm saying it this time means it really is a problem this time! Could we perhaps put the show back by 6 months?)
