Marathon: January PiFast

[bmwbaxter]

Hmm, might be time for me to start contemplating this

lol, do it nao

 

[Bobnova]

Getting my Raspberry Pi set up for benching at the moment, I'll get something done PiFast wise this evening if at all possible!

 

[bmwbaxter]

nice, any way to get it to run on the Pi?

 

[Bobnova]

Sadly, I don't think so. Not unless you can find the source somewhere.
HWBot built a benchmark that'll run though! Link: http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?t=53920&highlight=raspberry

 

[ivanlabrie]

Doubt that...x86 app, perhaps emulating a win 95 or 98 inside the Pi.
That would actually work

 

[Bobnova]

Looks doable, Bochs and QEMU both can run win95 (or XP!) on a Pi. Not quickly persay, but run at least.
Not sure I have enough time left to get that set up and complete a run!
Would I get three points for being first ARM?


EDIT:
I should have overclocked before updating, unpacking all the files is sloooooow.

 

[ivanlabrie]

hahaha! go for it Ed!
I think I'm gonna try that with my Nook color. Only downside is storing the screenshot somehow, not sure how to have the emulated Os recognize your microsd card.
Next challenge should have an Arm category lol

 

[Bobnova]

I'm hoping I can mount a USB drive for win95. Failing that, the raspberry can take a SS of the entire emulation window. I'm more concerned about CPUz, really.

Well, you did say there was only what, 28 hours left. Can the Pi get 'r dun in that amount of time?

dunno, but it would be neat to see.

 

[Bobnova]

A larger issue, really, is that I have other work I'm supposed to be doing that doesn't involve emulating win95

 

[bmwbaxter]

Well even if you don't meet the deadline with it, I would be interested to see it.

 

[ivanlabrie]

haha! Same here...I don't have my nook here anyway, I'm at work.

WARNING! You are putting up good #s on day 31....

28 hrs remaining! Get any last minute submissions in!

That was at 7:32PM last night. If my math is correct, that means midnight tonight?

 

[EarthDog]

Sorry but this.... http://hwbot.org/submission/2349035_ .... is not a legal submission as it does not use the EXACT desktop image provided in the RULES of the competition...

What is missing?

The image is stretched to fit.. which was discussed weeks ago?
