Apologies - I should have been a bit more specific... I should have said x86 derived platforms, which from my understanding, the x64 is. My comment comes from a question posed several years back about whether Kolibri would run on a Raspberri Pi - the answer being 'no', because Ras-Pi was based on an...

Agree, Ubuntu has become rather bloated of late. I have been using 'Puppy Linux' on a small underpowered laptop (700MHz) for almost a decade, and it runs very well. Boots from SD rather slow (about a minute). I am using a really old version (which suits me - I use it for word processing). The old ve...

Hi Leency, thanks for your reply. I had been checking the other thread, but not this one. Sorry for my late reply. I have been using a program called "MPXplay". It is DOS and has many great features, but DOS lacks many functions. Poor USB support particularly. I will try to list my desires...

@leency: Are you the author of 'pixie'? I am interested in taking this project further to develop a nice user interface for audio playing in KolibriOS. I am able to offer some technical assistance, but am also able to offer some financial assistance (although it would not be a lot). I do not speak R...

Documentation on most things KolibriOS is hard to find (the forum seems the most helpful), and often non-existent, but after following the suggestion by hidnplayr to check out AC97snd, I got stuck into a web search. Regrettably most of the pages returned were in Russian, and google translate does no...

What an interesting diversion... a RasPI running Windows with a VM running KolibriOS with DOSbox running MS-DOS7... How fast do you think the final layer would run? Or alternately, how fast would the PI need to run to get an audio player to run at the bottom level? On a serious side though, I believ...

@hidnplayr : I must admit I have not looked at ac97snd for quite some time. Perhaps it can do this (as described below) already, or with little modification? I wanted the ability for the machine (computer) to boot directly into the 'play' mode from power on where random tracks from the collection wo...

Hi, I have been wanting to run one of the many MP3 'jukebox' type players on Kolibri for many years now. But nothing has ever come up. I used to have MPXplay set up on a DOS computer, but found the lack of support for almost everything extremely frustrating. I chose DOS because: - Exceptionally fast...

I haven't downloaded the CVS to do any development with (at this stage), but I have had a bit of a play with 'terminal'. Reading through the source, most of it is setup (not surprisingly), and I did note the comment about receiving interrupts on the application level. Does that mean that an interrup...

@Asper: I consider myself reasonably good at assembly programmiing, and I had for many years (and sometimes still do) write assembler. But it was (and still is) for micro controllers , a significantly different beast. I struggle to understand the addressing modes and mnemonics used for the 80xxx pro...

You're going to think I'm really stupid, but I can't get this to compile. I've searched all over, and I have not been able to find any sort of guide that tells me how to set things up (libraries, etc) to assemble programs. I am booting off CD (LiveCD version 0.7.7.0+). From this point I would expect...

Hi hidnplar, I do think that PCMCIA cards are sadly a thing of the past. Finding a PCMCIA adapter for a modern computer is not that easy any more! I suppose as electronics shrink, there is no longer a need for such a 'clunky' card. More function can fit on an SD "card" these days... the ey...

Back on topic again... I tested some of the PCMCIA cards that I had. 1- "bare" : The laptop with nothing but a 16GB USB stick plugged into it. This remained plugged in for all my tests. 2- "4m" : A 4 megabyte memory card (still works - but it can only store one jpeg!) 3 - "1...

Crikey! That was fast! Kids have a habit of slowing one down (almost to zero in most cases). I was just getting my act together and seeking out documents on COM ports, looking at the example 'console.c' (in shell.r4460), looking at how to compile for Kolibri (I haven't even set up GCC, letalone anyt...

Is there a TTY program in Kolibri that will let me use the RS232 port? I don't need any fancy terminal emulation or modem dialling stuff (both which seem to be a really big deal with DOS & Windoze TTY programs), just something to send characters out that I type (with echo) and write incoming cha...
