This is not an open source release of the firmware (or app), only a documentation of the APIs the speakers support.

DSP56k emulation has come a long way - not only in this great project, there are also working DSP56001 emulations in the Hatari Atari Falcon and Previous NeXT emulators now.

One more thing. The app seems to be compiled for macOS >= 26.0 according to Info.plist, but your web page indicates "Requires macOS 12 or higher". So I think there's something wrong with your build settings.

First - a new, lightweight PDF viewer for macOS is highly welcome, since Preview.app has turned into a slow, buggy mess. So thanks a lot for working on this!

However, the whole download experience for PageFlow is more than discouraging with the gumroad forms that include a suggested price and tip fields instead of directly offering the download.

Also, you advertise the application as being open source with no single link provided. Is the source available somewhere already?

Beware, this tries to download about 1.2 GB of "AI models" to your browser cache. I have no idea what this crap is supposed to do. Flagged.

Thanks, it seems I was confused by ARM3 (the implementation) and ARMv3 (the architecture, but not the one of the ARM3 implementation) once more. Yikes... this is quite a chaos.

I just tested the build. It seems that the NetBSD build tries to compile for armv4 (which, as on Linux, means StrongARM only).

When trying to specify -a earm (which should imply ARM v3) instead of the default -a earmv4 to build.sh (./build.sh list-arch gives the supported architectures), the script complains that "MACHINE_ARCH 'earm' does not support MACHINE 'acorn32'".

So it seems there's more work to be done for the armv3 machines, sorry...

Update: Early Acorn machines with ARM2 and ARM3 processors were supported by NetBSD/acorn26 (see https://www.netbsd.org/ports/acorn32/faq.html). This is a bit strange, since IIRC ARMv3 got rid of the 26 bit PC mode.

Unfortunately, support for this port ended back in 2018 with NetBSD 8.0 and the acorn26 supported platform list doesn't include the ARM710 RiscPC, so it might also be significantly more difficult to get NetBSD to work on your machine...
