So FujiNet for the Color Computer (COCO) is coming on strong. Not only has there been a FN device for the coco all year, it has the very first POC ‘bus’ FujiNet cart in the ecosystem. Applications are going hard as well with a fully working CONFIG, Lobby and Fujitzee multi-player-multi-platform game. Not having a coco I had extreme FOMO… until I took a quick look at xroar and now I can live the coco dream. I’m not the first to play with xroar and the FN- it’s been done by various people in the Fujinet Discord for a while, but this is mine.
Long story very short, it builds easily on OSX, you can build it, and I’ve written up the directions and posted them here on the FujiNet Wiki. Read, install and profit.
While I’m at it I will build a FujiNet-PC build for Coco, on ARM Mac and post it here to use as well.
