Option board

I’ve been digging around for info on what the option board is actually for and how it’s to be installed/used. Is that documented anywhere?

Cooperative Galaga

Since this is a wish list, I might as well toss this out: cooperative 2 player Galaga on 2 NABU PC’s. Yea, I know, it’s impossible, but it sounds really fun.

NABU Network Adapter as IA

Considering taking the NABU network adapter I have, taking out the board and designing one that can hold one, or more, 5 Pin DIN connectors and a Pi 4 inside to act as an IA for PC’s. One issue I have with the Pi Zero inside the PC is that it needs to be on first in order for the PC to boot from (an...

Re: Pi Zero W inside

My internet adapter caches the files locally once they're run. The only main reason I chose not to cache the whole thing is there are 20,000+ files because RetroNET has more than just the usual cycles. There are slideshow images, music, homebrew game resources, cpm drives that get updated regularly...

Thanks! Need to devise something a little less kludgy, but for now, it’ll work.

Re: Pi Zero W inside

Very nicely done. Looking forward to doing this on my NABU. I hope I can fit A+ model in there somehow, otherwise a Pi Zero W will have to do. Thanks for posting the picture. Hobby time won't return until the snow flies in November. Too many outside projects in the summertime. Little here, little t...

Re: Pi Zero W inside

Is the Pi 0 W able to get signal in there? I know there was concerns about that. Looks really nice though! I wish I could get my hands on some cheap Pi 0 W's again here. Haven’t had an issue so far, though it doesn’t really matter running nabud, all the pak files are local. I can easily ssh into it...

Pi Zero W inside

Works. Pi Zero W with a usb hat, RS-422 to usb adapter running to the Pi, nabud running locally. I think the next step is to break out Blendr and design a card that holds the stuff in one of the module slots. For now, some temp sticky stuff will hold it while that gets up on the todo list. I’ll test...
