@luciodra Oh that's great news indeed! :)luciodra wrote: 23 Mar 2026 20:58 Hurray!
Thanks to your advice and after replacing everything I had arrived at the last two solutions: changing the CPU and the 68150. I made an attempt to reprogram Nessi and...bingo!
Raven lives again!
Thanks Anders and tell me if I can send you one of the network cards I have, with or without exchange. :D

I will need to check my build for the Raven PicoGUS PGUSINIT to add the updates for the new firmware to use the new features.Mikerochip wrote: 06 Apr 2026 21:35 Did you see, as of the latest release, PicoGUS now emulates a Soundblaster16 also!
There is also work for kodak80... :dualthumbup:Mikerochip wrote: 06 Apr 2026 21:35 Great work!

This has only been tested in STEEM emulator without access to a PicoGUS. Consider this untested for anyone wanting to try this with the new PicoGUS v4.0.0 firmware. Also, totally untested with the latest Raven updates. I am away from my Raven/PicoGUS at the moment so unable to test it. :)luciodra wrote: 06 Apr 2026 23:08There is also work for kodak80... :dualthumbup:Mikerochip wrote: 06 Apr 2026 21:35 Great work!

After the last update I have video artifacts and crashes in games (Doom etc). :|agranlund wrote: 06 Apr 2026 20:44 https://github.com/agranlund/raven/rele ... A1.latest
Lastest package is mostly behind the scenes, bugfixing and chasing cache related stuff.
Integration of a separate isa_bios wip refactoring branch to main.
GCC programs are now compiled with 15.2.0-mintelf instead of 13.4.0-mint.
These may depend on each other being similarly recent so update all of them: rom, rvbios, isa_bios, rvsnd
(and for rvsnd update the entire folder as the new exe is not backwards compatible with the older driver files)
Additionally:
- Latest MiNT 1.19 release has support for Raven hardware poweroff (*)
- A pull request for the same feature in MagiC has been submitted so should hopefully end up in releases there too.
(*) Hardware poweroff requires CKBD controller, as well as soldering one wire mentioned here:
