https://srcdump.net/shrub/neuswc can now run on the framebuffer directly, just like the old Xfbdev/kdrive X servers, but for wayland. this opens up a whole new class of hardware that you can run wayland compositors on, including this thinkpad r50!

it’s pretty hard to have a minimal gaming experience nowadays. i thought one of the best ways it could be done is by using retro emulators. to my surprise, most of them use unnecessary and bloated cross-platform windowing frameworks like SDL and etc, or even have gpu acceleration for some more “modern” consoles.
i decided to modify my favourite emulator, BlastEm for the sega genesis/mega drive to be more minimal. it has no SDL or fbdev rendering any more, just a new pure native wayland renderer, with sound via alsa. it runs pretty nice (see above screenshot).
i’m looking for more simple and wayland native retro emulators like this: if you know any, let me know! one thing i noticed is that framebuffer emulators can be converted to native display server emulators, by presenting the framebuffer as a wl_shm on wayland which is what i did or as an Ximage on X11 (booooo) .
if you want to try my branch of blastem, the code is located at
hope this can be useful to atleast one of you lot
am i spamming rices? i’m having a lot of fun with window decor. designed these myself, kinda going for ubuntu in 2010s /gnome2 kinda look but with my own twist.
neuswc has decor now. very customizable, you can choose width of all 4 edges, put text on any edge, and use any pixel data you want for designs. buttons and the like coming soon. i hope you lot can make some cool wm’s and rices with this :)
here’s some decor on tohu stolen from AfterStep and rotated 90 degrees.
