Retro mastodon clients

In this forum you can write about anything that does not fit in other forums.
This includes generic Oric talkings and things that are totaly unrelated but want to share with people here :)

Retro mastodon clients

Post by Dbug »

Somebody on #atariscene pointed out there was no Atari ST Mastodon client, and I pointed out there are none for the Oric either :)

I wonder what would be the simplest way to implement something like that for the Oric :)

Gonna be more realistic once OricCON is out there, no?

On the Amstrad with the M4 card, a lot of the heavy lifting could be done by the ESP32. Not sure how that'd work with OricCON/LOCI ..

The is the apple ][ variant. The code is relatively big but very well written and with proper tools the porting challenge is fun. Basically it works, still needs some memory usage adjustments. Probably more easier is to use the C64 way - python script on host + terminal program ;).
