Эмулятор CD-ROM из Raspberry Pi Pico W, использующий образы из сети В одной из своих статей я уже рассказывал, как из Raspberry Pi Pico сделать USB CD-ROM. Так как размер флеш-памяти Pico ограничен, поместить что-то серьёзное в образ, который будет находиться во флеш-памяти невозможно. Можно попробовать разместить образ на флеш-карте и использовать модуль для неё, но я нашёл более интересное с точки зрения используемых технологий решение. Эмулировать образ, который находится в интернете. Образа многих дистрибутивов Linux доступны для загрузки с сайта. https://habr.com/ru/companies/ruvds/articles/1050406/ #linux #cdrom #emulation #lwip #tinyusb #CYW43439 #raspberry_pi_pico_w #http #wifi #ruvds_статьи

today's thrifting treasure from the peak utopian scholastic period: Dorling Kindersley's Ocean (2008) while the scholastic period is usually associated with the late 90s and early 2000s, it lasted well into the late 2000s thanks to DK's amazing book layouts even better, these later books come with a cd-rom full of clipart. 😎 #utopianScholastic #books #art #design #cdrom

surprisingly, it appears that no one has imaged the clip-art CD-ROM that came with the book. that work has now been done :) enjoy some low-effort photographic clip-art courtesy of DK in ISO format: https://archive.org/details/ew-ocean-clipart #cdrom #digiPres

after years of digging and research, i finally found the toolkit that was used to make MS multimedia software Encarta, Dinosaurs and Dangerous Creatures. when i fell in love with these programs, i imagined they were built with a rich multimedia authoring environment/IDE like Macromedia Director. e.g. dragging and dropping images, sounds, text and video onto a stage, animating it with keyframes, and then scripting it for interaction. the toolkit used was, as it turns out, a very roughly hewn collection of individual programs. there was no IDE. all of the content was written in RTF files, which were then compiled with links to external resources like wavs and avi's. i cannot imagine what a nightmare this was for the MS Home teams to work with. there is no drag and drop of any kind, no object linking and embedding (OLÉ!), nor animation editor. this is a dog's breakfast of individual programs written by different people. i'm frankly amazed that the MS Homes teams put together such well-designed programs *despite* how painful this toolkit is to use the one thing i can say in its favour is that it has one badass tetricube logo for cover art :D huge thank you to @philpem@digipres.club for archiving this extremely obscure piece of software https://archive.org/details/microsoft-multimedia-viewer-2.0-rips-20210921-1.7z #multimedia #cdrom #retrocomputing #win31
