The floppy drive is now supported:



Still don't have any disk images, so I've used a disk from another CP/M 68k system. This works, because CP/M is fully in ROM and it only expects a config file on disk. Note that the defaults specify a RAM disk that is incompatible with a 128k system, so you need to use "-ramsize 512k" or it will overwrite parts of system memory and crash.

I finally got enough emulated of the Beena for an initial pull request.

Here's a WIP showing all inputs in use, including booklet pages:

There's some custom stuff that might change, but the overall look and feel is what I was aiming for. You can see elements being interacted with a dot cursor on the top screen.

Nice, do you think the booklet implementation could be reused for the Sega Pico?

Although Pico emulation isn't that good in MAME (or any other emulator really), that alone would make quite a few of the working games actually playable.

I hope so, both are using lightgun input ports for the pen, the main difference is how those values get mapped.

Yeah the Pico is fun, there's an undocumented IRQ that no emulator out there gets right (I think only Fusion even calls it at all, but some games that are more timing sensitive to it eventually crash).

I just took a quick look over the pull request. It's honestly pretty damn good, especially for a first-time contribution.

Most of my quibbles mainly revolve around using facilities that are already available, but which may not have been initially obvious. If there are any feedback points I left that don't seem easily doable, drop a line here and I'll do my best to explain things.

Don't know if it's just me, but I don't see any comments under "files changed".

Sorry about that, for some reason I seem to be completely unfamiliar with the actual review cycle on Github. Somehow I managed to go years with only leaving comments and never starting a proper review.

The Power Macintosh G3 (pwrmacg3) now has a PCI ATI Rage II to show things. Interacting with Open Firmware works great.

The rare Psion 3aR has been found and dumped, and is in for next release!


I really thought the 3aR would've been harder to find, and other language variants found sooner.

We're still looking for owners of Psion Series 3/3a/3c/3mx/etc. machines running other language variants. There are known to be German, French, Flemish, Dutch, and maybe Spanish and Italian versions produced for some models.
