Dabz has indeed bought ze bitbox, but unfortunately said Dabz only got the invoice yesterday, which I paid, so hopefully me little bitbox will be getting built! The project creator did say he was waiting for parts when I placed my order last week, no biggy! So, what I have I been doing, well, basically, looking over the kernel code, tinkering with it... See how it strings together! The biggest problem with a lot of these things is, and they nearly all fall down on this so its not bitbox specific... But, it's all cross platform development, build on a PC, fire it on to an SD card, plug that in to the device, flash a second boot loaderGame/app runs... Rinse repeat!!! There is another more "hardware" hardware way with wires... But, I'm going to be honest, I read the instructions, it was all 4 pin swd to something, io-gpd-tv-am discovery board to VKD Spoffy GDR PFFFFFT... Me... Not a clue what it means! The thing is bare metal so, you literally have no way to say, transfer things across via the network or whatever... Unless of course, you rewrite a booter that can handle a wifi adaptor in the USB ports... Which... Thats not going to happen. So, SD card it is!  Now, this isn't a major major problem, because you have the emulation package on your PC so you can work with that most of the time, and it's painless to build and run projects on it... Which I posted here:- www.blitzbasic.com/Community/post.php?topic=106023&post=1301029 But this isn't really the point of me wanting it... What I'd like to do, and this is where my interests are... Is try and get an interpreter on there... So I've been looking at the setup closely, the kernel is very game dev specific, but, I'm working it out in my head how I might be able to do something... Which will be good because then... You can develop like the days of old! When the thing is built and delivered... It'll be me little playground... Until I get bored maybe... But, that shit interests me so, we'll see what happens! I'll get my monies worth (£35 quid inc delivery) Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit
