Just a warning, it'll take a long time (perhaps up to an hour) and you'll get no feedback on the command line until it's finished.

There are ways to get feedback, but they're non-trivial to explain or require extra software.

From the terminal: sudo dd bs=4M if=steves_image.img of=/dev/sde oflag=direct This copies steves_image.img to /dev/sde (which is what your SD card was reporting as in the screenshot above -- change if it's changed) sudo = run as root dd = the block copier if = input file of = output file (device SDE...

@Badwolf Somehow I destroyed my Dstb-1. The main ic was killed and I measured a full short. How this happened I still don’t know. After replacing all IC’s (just to be sure) it works again. Now plugged into the ATX ST it works with IDE. And it runs DOTT without errors it seems… Did not test it yet i...

Seems somewhat less optimistic than the notes on the main page of your repo :

Experience always trumps early optimism.

But well spotted.

I have a (self-hacked) combined composite/RGB cable for my Falcon which needs an external power supply to switch to RGB mode. The composite is truly dire. I wonder if this may be part of the issue (I had put it down to the terrible cable I employed). Definitely worth a goosey. Well found, exxos . BW

Has anyone looked at the schematic ? I mean by the looks of it, DATA line 0 is connected to address 1, A23 is connected to D7 :WTF: At its heart, PiStorm is a synchronously driven state machine acting as a multiplexer. 16 Pi lines connected to 39 68k lines and 16 CPLD lines. The flip-flops are used...

It's alright, I suppose...

Now jump to the pistorm with 3,000% ROM speeds.. That be like 240mhz CPU. How much of that score is tainted by the CPU caches... Remember you're measuring (completely Pi-side) memory speeds there. Like testing ROM speeds after running MAPROM -- you're testing TT-RAM in that case. ROM speeds without...

I guess it can be configured with altram in 68k space or TTram space. For most stuff, I think altram be easier in 68k space as it won't screw up the blitter access. Then anyone who needs more ram can, just won't be blitter friendly. Blitter will have no access no matter where you map it. The map wi...

@Badwolf Does the thing copy ROM to the pi's own RAM and fake the address with the MMU like MAPROM does ? That would be amazing not having to go to the MB slower ROM all the time. MMU is not emulated, so no. At its base level it simply uses all motherboard resources. You can then map in extra bits ...
