Inkwell
You might not even think about itRed and white carThink of it as a productive machine, but some clever and creative developers find it hard to agree with this idea Hackaday as well as Ars Technique According to reports, Inkbox Software recently released red and white machine software. IN THESE working system. Due to the technical limitations of the 1980s, NESOS only comes with a word processing app in addition to “settings” and can only store 8 files of 832 bytes. Although there are not many functions, you can use a real slider in the red and white car, which can not only move the icon, but also change the color of the interface.
The main obstacle to Inkbox comes from the very limited capacity and memory of the red and white machine: NESOS is only 48K in size and all files only need to be placed in 2K of NVRAM when it is powered off. The interface design is another difficulty too: Nintendo’s original console only had two Sprite memory grids for the foreground and background and could only display 64 Sprites at the same time, which is why many red and white machines kept appearing. when they showed too much .flashing content.However, Inkbox also had to combine multiple Sprites into one larger graphics to form a complete interface, making the restrictions tighter
NESOS comes out as a ROM, so unless you can save it to a tape, you’ll need an emulator to open it to test what a RED / WH OS is all about. It’s just limited by the hardware, it’s impossible to save us a novel, not to mention typing requires a red and white machine controller to slowly input one by one from the looped character column, which is probably annoying. . Therefore, NESOS seemed more to challenge the limit. What’s even more worthy of appreciation is that the Inkbox can do it without modifying the red and white car, which is an amazing achievement.
