Software / Nethack With New Graphics

« on: June 05, 2010, 03:37:34 pm »

Hi all.

I dug out the old Zaurus 5500 the other day, after scoring some new batteries for it. It's always been my personal favorite gadget for playing Nethack on, but the default qpe nethack had some annoying features, namely those ugly turquois tiles, and a too-small tile size.

I've re-packaged the original ipkg file to include the new (and much better looking) absurd tileset, as well as bumping the default tile size up to 12x12.

It may be years too late for the Zaurus' heyday, but I still love the machine, and hopefully, a few of you will get some use out of this as well.

Enjoy

Hi, would you please re-upload to Rapidshare? RS seems to remove files if they exceed a certain number of days without being downloaded.

Many thanks!

Enjoy Zaurus!

Most definitely!  

It's good to know that this forum is still here and alive.

I just scored a new old stock 5600, and would like to update the ROM from the stock 1.00 version to 1.32.  It looks as if the link to myzaurus.com is dead, and my Google-Fu has failed to find an alternate download site. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

ETA:  Found it. There's a copy on the Embedded Linux Software Index.  Sharp ROM 1.32

Software / Looking For The Simh Ipk

« on: October 09, 2007, 11:35:06 am »

Does anyone have a working link for the simh_3.1_arm.ipk?  The original host at www.kerberos-research.com appears to be dead.  

I'd love to find this. Running a PDP-11 emulator on the Z looks like a lot of fun!
