Elfi, known bug enjoyer @elfi@pixie.town

@karma thank you! ;w; I hope so too!

@Anzeliane@eldritch.cafe I appreciate both the pun and the scathing critique of "steampunk" as anything to do with punk

I have roommates \o/

hey let's see how hard I can cry

@Anke @brandkopf Oh, that could very well be it!

@brandkopf looks like an angular spring to me, embedded into a plastic casing...

@ben how about a zeroday that lets you install linux

@mos_8502 Think it'd be worth pursuing prototyping and maybe production then?

@mos_8502 If I ever got bored, I could probably use an I2C GPIO chip to add DE-9 joystick ports too, possibly with dip switches to toggle between Amiga/CD32 and Megadrive compatibility

@mos_8502 It's not a whole lot, admittedly. I mostly just looked into it since the lack of composite AV felt like such an oversight with the RPi400. It'd be using an RGB444 DPI configuration from the GPIOs with the ADV7393 chip to produce CVBS and Y/C signals to output over RCA, and optionally include PWM or I2C-driven audio. Alternatively, a 7341/7343 would allow RGB666

It does come up a bit more expensive to make than getting one of those cheap mini HDMI2AV adapters, and the cheaper chip would have a lower colour depth (though entirely within the OCS's range), but it should have a much faster response time by comparison and would snugly fit against the GPIO port. Dunno if there's much interest in that or if something already exists, I couldn't find anything looking around anyway

Looking into this more, I could probably get a breadboard prototype going, but of course I'll also need to get my Amiga monitor back from Seattle

@silverseams@mastodon.art @Anke oh my god lmfao

@mos_8502 Hey, so I think I've got an idea on making a board for low-latency composite A/V for the Raspberry Pi 400 but I don't really have the resources to prototype or produce it, do you know anyone in the Commodore/Amiga/retro scene who'd be into this?

@DeveloperMemes tfw this meme comes up at the same time as someone talks about a program's readme literally just being rtfm

My brother in christ, you ARE the manual

@Anke @silverseams@mastodon.art Like, in any other context 7 colours is nbd, but when it's being presented as a pride thing, it's has the potential to read as a lot worse than it actually is (merely being, again, lack of awareness or understanding) by that fact
