  • Announcing: PonyOS 8
    3 projects | /r/osdev | 31 Mar 2022
    In case it's not clear, PonyOS is a joke reskin of my serious OS project, ToaruOS. PonyOS gets a new release every April 1st. All of the libraries and applications in ToaruOS are in-house things I built myself - the whole OS is "built from scratch". PonyOS adds ponysay, which is an external app originally written in Python - and in previous releases of PonyOS I shipped the Python version alongside a port of Python 3.6. This release, though, comes with a port to my own language, Kuroko, which is a dialect of Python - a lot of what went into building the PonyOS release this year was getting ponysay to work well.

    There is no correct way to use inline assembly here. You need a stub written in assembly that will save those registers to the stack and pass a pointer to a handler written in C. You may also want to define a struct that matches the stack layout to make it easier to access the stack contents. This is not my code. If you want to use this code in your OS, you must follow the license requirements.

    Here's a good example, although it's 64-bit instead of 32-bit.

  • Other 3DS custom Firmwares
    1 project | /r/3dspiracy | 20 Aug 2021
    I'm wondering are there any other Custom Firmwares for the 3DS besides Luma3DS? The reason I'm wondering is because Luma3DS is a Firmware targeted primarily towards "noobs" and I'm looking for one that is for advanced users. I know that when it comes to boot loaders there are solutions for advanced users (Fastboot3DS) and was wondering if there's anything similar in terms of CFW.
