Having dabbled in electronics with MCUs, I have always considered the Raspberry Pi as a solution looking for a problem. It always seemed to be far too much computer power to switch LEDs on and off with colour changing as a finale. The Gotek blows away all that cynicism . This device has my imagination in a turmoil. I just know the jet pack is a real possibility!
Fun video! In GEM, you may be able to move the mouse using the arrow keys - maybe by using shift or control or something - at least you could on the Atari ST.
I thought that too - I have an ST as well and you could move the cursor around by holding down Alternate and pressing the arrow keys. I couldn't find an equivalent on the BBC though. The Internet is a bit sketchy about mice for the BBC Micro.
do you know how to change screen resolution to *fx 230,222,4 or something similar in order to run cpm or msdos on the bbc micro ?? using turbo mmc ??? thanks
You might like to look at my menu system for the gotek stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16070 And if you are in the mood for more upgrades that admittedly aren't too well supported, try speech (try my astro blaster) and a NuLA for 4096 colours (and you can then play doom and emulate a spectrum and CPC). I would also recommend boobip's eeprom board and sideways ram expansions.
@@ncot_tech I would have two sticks, one with the menu for games and the other with a few images for non-games and any that don't work off the menu (some games have patches that aren't on bbcmicro.co.uk) or you can update the menu on windows.
New BBC user here. Learned a lot, thanks. I am still working on throwing ROMs across the desk, but I am practicing ;-)
Another great video, please do more with the BBC
The mouse is a standard quadrature mouse which connects via the user port.

I use EEPROMS instead of EPROMS, much easier than UV Erasing!

that Maze spacial coordination, its an UnCo tester isn't it? ?:)
do u know what the latest dos emulator for windows 11 is? is it called xboot manager or something similar? thanks...................
I think there's a product called Smallymouse that allows you to plug a modern mouse into a beeb
would you / could you make and sell an EPROM with ADFS ?

The menu looks useful. While I like the little OLED screen on the Gotek it's a bit fiddly scrolling through loads of disk images.

Intereesting video. But honestly, you could have edited it down a bit 😉
For God's sake man clean that bleedin keyboard! :D

The BBC micro is a 6502 based computer, DOS is running on a Raspberry Pi that is emulating an Intel 286 CPU.
