Home Page Forums MAME MAME What is a Laser Printer doing in MESS

I have a Sharp Zaurus of the original, pre-Linux generation. It has a really strange (but inventive, in a very 90s way) OS and reportedly runs on a Sharp-specific CPU architecture.

That seems odd - I'd assume it was some sort of ARM SoC like nearly every other PDA of that era.

And don't forget fridges - we gotta have cold beer

Which iPods though? Apple pretty quickly likes to regard iPods as obsolete and replace them with newer models... and quite a lot of suckers buy into the constant upgrades (on the other hand, I know someone who still has a second-generation iPod).

It's a fine line, considering that even iPod Video is considered obsolete and old by Apple.

I don't know what really would go into emulating an iPod... the hard disk's firmware is quite easy to copy (dd if=/dev/sdc of=file ...), but there's also a fail-safe firmware stored in ROM that might be difficult to dump, i don't know for sure.

I'd draw the line in the vicinity of "does the current iTunes recognize it and sync to it". AFAIK all iPods ever made still work with current iTunes, and we'd need the boot ROMs anyway (disk images aren't sufficient).

I think we could use GPU power to emulate an oven, just to have a nice pizza along the beers :D:D

Anyway, modern nVidia cards already draw up to two power connectors... ^___^
