NES on ZipIt


Going even further back in time than 4th gen, [Kevin] tipped us off to this project by [Hunter Davis]. It is a collection of software mods for Zipit’s Z2 instant messenging device. Some of them include allowing it to run (ports of) the Fluxbox window manager, FCE Ultra NES emulator, and (most impresively) the Java framework. The next leap in development, a SNES emulator optimized for the Zipit, is in the works. The Z2 runs Linux out of the box. This means you no longer have to reflash the device to add software, such as DOSbox (also introduced to the Zipit by [Hunter Davis]). Be sure to check out the video demo of FCE Ultra on the Z2 above.

Right-click, “Create Search” in Opera 9 or above too.

The detector loaned to Seb is built using Geiger Müller tubes but I have been working on a low-cost version using Fluorescent Tubes. I expect that is where the confusion may come from.

Very pleased people think this is a worthwhile project.
