It still seems performant enough that you could use it to compress data in your program and decompress them into a buffer at runtime. Assuming you need the space that is.

Super necro here, but @TC01  I may have opened a PR to update calcpkg to support python 3

Awesome! Thanks for all the hard work @calc84maniac

I believe the topic you are looking for is here: https://www.omnimaga.org/ti-z80-calculator-projects/ice-an-interpretercompiler-of-ce-basic/

You may need a different block size. I'm not really up on my filesystem theory so I don't really remember how it all works. Looking into the code though I found the error: genext2fs.c#L906.

From what I can read in the code, the block size must be greater than 0, greater than 8 and greater than EXT2_FIRST_INO - 1 + (nbresrvd ? 1 : 0). Where EXT2_FIRST_INO is 11.
nbresrvd is set here: genext2fs.c#L3346-L3349. We aren't hitting any of those errors though. but I'm not entirely sure what we need to specify.

What you should probably do is figure out the sum of the size of the files you are generating a filesystem out of and set -b and --block-size (-B) appropriately (This can be 1024, 2048 or 4096 bytes).

That's really nice! But you definitely need to resize those icon in dillo! It would be much easier to use.
Bit unrelated: It's quite sad, that Punix never got finished... Maybe we could have gotten something simillar for the 68k platform (which is WAAYYY better than the nspire in terms of programming - there is even a on-calc c compiler for it!).

With linux you can also have an on calc c compiler.

So I noticed that your video has lots of variations in speed. How long does it actually take to start X? How slow/laggy is the mouse, and Dillo?

It does not save you memory as the actual data is the same size.
