I am overjoyed to announce that ZMPP is available on Amazon’s Appstore and for the Kindle Fire for a couple of days now. I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to Amazon’s Appstore team for the quick approval time, getting ZMPP approved makes me very proud. I believe that the tablet form factor [...]

I am happy to announce that ZMPP can now be found and downloaded from the Android Market. Shipping a software project always fills a developer with relief and pride and for me there is no difference. I wanted to take the opportunity to reminisce about the process that led up to this point, as ZMPP [...]

I was recently trying to transfer some software from Aminet to my Amigas. The way I planned to do it was to use a null modem cable to transfer an ADF file onto a disk. I had previously done that for system disks. In this case however, I had to prepare an ADF file by [...]

Happy 2011 ! The new year has begun and I wanted to use the opportunity to review 2010 from my perspective. A lot of changes have happened in the past year. One has been switching from one fantastic employer to a new fantastic employer. This change means that I will continue making software in scientific [...]
Ok, time to reflect on the past, review what has been done and where to go in the future. Blog migrated to boxofrats.com I have moved my blog to the boxofrats.com and am hosting it by myself now. I made the decision in order to have a little more flexibility and to have everything under [...]
After having uploaded Logic Shrinker to Android Market a couple of days ago, I now decided to port it to the iPhone. The reason is that the set of people who are interested in using this kind of tool is non-empty and is not identical to the set that only contains myself. Let’s face it: [...]

I just published my first application on Android Market. “Logic Shrinker” is a little utility that takes a digital logic function and simplifies it using the Quine-McCluskey algorithm. This application actually comes out of my Amiga emulator project – in particular it is part of the logic function generator for the Blitter component. I did [...]

Now that I have a somewhat working M68000 emulation, I can finally focus on the rest of the Amiga system. Currently most of the system is stubbed out with a couple of dummy functions so I can see when something interesting happens. I have reached now reached a point, where I can’t fake out the CIA [...]

I had this actually running for some time now: It is a graphical debugger which helps me understand how the 68000 instructions in the Kickstart ROM affect my Amiga emulator’s state. Here is a screen shot: It is currently mainly a view to the Mahatma68k CPU, the two CIA-8520′s and the custom chip registers. It [...]
I decided to build a package of the current code in the Mahatma68k repository and upload it with the little example program that comes with it. It can now be found on its project website. I am aware that not everyone likes or knows maven and so I provided an ant build file for the binary [...]
