Seriously, it's actually technically not difficult. There are several emulators of the same ZX that can read data directly from the line input of the audio card. And record through the output. I did this (to check the equipment) not so long ago with the help of a Vega tape recorder, assembled once a...

https://github.com/dmitry-pavlov/audio-cassette-backup rockedge There is such an explanation on the link: The project is open for joining one day only - April 1st, 2023 :) But experienced and seasoned users of magnetic tape understood everything according to the description and without mentioning A...

I think Puppy Linux should bring back cassette tape interface https://github.com/dmitry-pavlov/audio-cassette-backup LET's assume it works :) Read the Features section there. But this is storage. And we need Puppy to boot and run immediately after turning on the computer. And preferably with a pilo...

I think Puppy Linux should bring back cassette tape interface since hard to get CDs nowadays. Indeed, the choice is somehow small. At first I thought it was sanctions. But it seems this is due to a lack of demand around the world. The "symbols" of the ISO format are increasingly difficult...

my noisy cassette tape drive You are probably had a good drive :) Imagine the spectacle of me connecting wires directly to the speakers of a Soviet tape recorder inside the case. Moreover, the instructions on the cassette indicated: "wipe the magnetic head with alcohol or cologne, adjust the h...

and more convenient than cpio to a file or a tape drive I suppose.

But what a wonderful sound it was when loading the ZX Spectrum from a magnetic tape. And ISO... so soulless

I dont think you understand the technology.

Maybe But not every student or pensioner with one computer uses downloads/boot via a network card. And it's not about the lack of information.

Grey

one could start a PXE environment while a LAN PC could boot from it ... Comfortable. But. There are usually two factors at work here. A big house with lots of rooms and computers (otherwise the sense of centralization is simply lost). Having money only for a few hard drives for shared storage. If I...

Just some additional thought on this thread In this topic, okay. But don't repeat the story with Ventoy advertising (and something else second there was) all over the forum ;) Use it whenever you like. But remember that not everyone here is constantly running ISO images (it doesn't matter for tests...

Grey

Arch Linux There is a paradoxical situation here :) I'm using ISO to boot. And then I use the commands in the command line to install the system from their (or mirror) server. Easy GUI Here I got even more interesting. I decided to make (using PureBasic) a GUI to run ISO and VDI (and the rest) Qemu...

Grey

then others can always implement their gui frontend of choice in whatever programming language and so on they prefer. Who? In a topic nearby, the participants came to the conclusion that there are 2,5 developers. The rest want everything to be easy, fast and regular. Who if not you as the main ideo...

Grey

Easy enough to locally produce an iso if I want to archive the result (just another simple script needed to do that). Easy. But who sets the pace in this dance? A developer with his advice to write and run scripts or a user who requires everything ready-made and with a GUI? You use the word script ...

Hello. I can't understand in any way what you are doing there at such an age on so many computers and want to be productive. 3D graphics? Just wondering.

FYI-Mint has had a Debian v for several years now.

Well yes. That's why I said "continues" Such releases are much rarer than the main ones, so they create a "stir" among fans.

Grey

Wow, Mint has already overtaken Yeah, that's the thing. Mint continues to prepare for the "fall" of Ubuntu and just recently released a "spare" variation based on Debian. The people cheered up, everyone started throwing hats in the air, shouting approving slogans... and raised t...

DistroWatch page click rankings don't really tell us much about anything,

Wow, Mint has already overtaken Endeavour there (on the main page) I didn't expect it. Now in the top five "leaders" only two representatives from Arch. Debian and Ubuntu take "revanche".

IF they are under CD size (700mb). By the way, it's one thing to use ready-made images of optical discs.

As soon as (if) I will find an image for Qemu with a virtual Bionic on an external hard drive, I think I can help you. Snes9x is not as beautiful in appearance as Zsnes, but better. It's just that you didn't come in at the right time

2) People using some version of woof-CE, modifying it locally and never contributing back the changes, so one Puppy release has a unique feature or unique bug fix others don't have ... then, the Puppy version described as its "successor" is a step backwards because it was built without th...

Grey

So much effort trying to keep what is already dead, alive!... I understand your hobby-romantic attitude. However... On the forum, the iso format has been "buried" several times in my memory. However, it continues to be used. For example, Arch just changed the internal structure and now it...

Any instructions I find are for other versions of linux. Hello. This is understandable. It's unclear what version YOU have. Retroarch, I briefly had installed, but... the interface is like they are trying to copy the interface of a newer playstation on a computer, That's exactly how it was :)

Grey

3. I have a gut feeling that S15Pup is not super popular, and users prefer to stick with older "official" releases because they're not using Slackware packages. A Slackware-based Puppy is a tough sell: new Linux users are more familiar with the name "Ubuntu", If suddenly fate th...

FSArchiver Git (there's already an unstable 0.8.8) I compiled the latest stable (2023-03-19) version of the program (in PPM version for 2018 :) ).

Plus, I think it no longer makes sense to build an Ubuntu-based Puppy: Of course, I would not like to do away with Ubuntu-like ones, since there are animals in the codename that can be drawn in the terminal in the form of ASCII/ANSI graphics and it is easy to come up with a theme for the desktop ba...

In fact, I am worried by his choice and somewhat hope he will change his mind. Don't worry in advance. He will change his plans many times before the age of 18.

bigpup Maybe you need to contact the author(s) of GetNvidia, with a request to update the program. By the way, even when assembling drivers up to version 53X, I had to unpack and refine the resulting pet manually. There it was necessary to remove several scripts, replace one with another and also d...

But this is one of the newest versions of Puppy. But it is based on the old version of the basic distro. Therefore, despite the increased level of security, it is not particularly necessary to count on new software. Phil disappeared somewhere, I got carried away with Arch instead of Ubuntu (on whic...

Grey

@bigpup Hi. I can tell you for sure that the driver version 525.89.02 is exactly assembled and running in Fossapup. There are problems with the 53X series. But I haven't tried to figure out what's going on there yet.
