@zep what is the planned memory envelope for a #picotron app?
the doc mentions ‘16mb’ but unclear if that’s mappable memory and/or lua memory space.
(asking cause alpha is not enforcing any limit
afaik)
@fsouchu I'm aiming for 16mb total (includes Lua and ram), so you can never quite map all of 16MB of address space. It will become enforced in 0.1.1 ~ hopefully before anyone makes anything that large!
@fsouchu I see ^ _ ^;
It is very unlikely that fetch will support partial reads in the future -- I view the files themselves as the atomic chunks that are part of a larger thing (cartridge). Would it be hard to break that data up into pieces? I'm planning on enforcing RAM limits for 0.1.1 but will add a way to measure it before then.
It might also turn out there is a way to abuse /ram, but that also needs to have some kind of limit..
