Yet another Bad Apple 😁 Wanted to do this for a long time as a proof of concept, and here it is!

does this use SonetOS? I noticed the keyboard and console and don't see what they'd be used for otherwise
(or just any os, but I'd guess that one since it was posted here)

No OS, I just did a quick n' dirty direct implementation in assembly
loud surge
That's the bin file for the video
dusty wharf
ah, so you're basically just scrolling through that?
loud surge
Yupp
dusty wharf
wait that means this can play any video
loud surge
Yep!
I haven't tried it with other videos, but my converter app should be able to convert any video to this
dusty wharf
next step: parse mp4 (at least I think that's the next step)
should be as simple as "just" compiling the converter by hand
loud surge
I definitely want to make a more elegant solution than just scrolling through the file
dusty wharf
I mean that's pretty much how a video works (just with a different display system)
maybe add color?
loud surge
The frame rate is limited too cause I have to buffer all the scroll positions before flushing it to the monitors (so they stay synced)
Would be nice to make a better hardware implementation there
dusty wharf
yeah you could give each monitor a fixed offset
loud surge
It would also be cool if I could find a sound component so I could natively play the music
dusty wharf
stable has one but I don't think alpha does

is the video sped up? i know save breaker is a lot faster than stable, but i havent really stress tested it so i dont know if this is something it is capable of in real time.

This is basically a Symphony architecture with a few registers & pixel screens appended to it &
I think I've seen Symphony architectures being able to run at past 1 MHz easly.
The speedup of the alpha comes from it compiling circuits into machine code,
for your physical CPU to run directly, rather than the circuit getting interpreted at simulation's runtime.

Probably not, the images are prerendered, so you only have to change the screen offset.
Realtime rendering with this resolution and framerate is probably unachievable with current alpha: 320x240@30fps would require <6 instructions per pixel on simple(using only builtin operations) 14MHz architecture.
But it is close to possible.

This is real time (for reference, it's set to 3kHz)
As mentioned before, it's prerendered and screen offsets are being calculated (but I'm going to implement a better screen system with double buffering next)
dusty wharf
also colors or no colors?
loud surge
It's capable of colors yeah
dusty wharf
:D
...wait, your converter works on mp4s right?
you could have the computer play the video you uploaded of it playing bad apple
loud surge
Technically you could lol
