While this is really a matter of forum etiquette, it could easily be interpreted as touching on the political. The term "Snowflake" and selective outrage come to mind. That there seems to be a generation of very tender egos who can feel "bullied" by a little "snark" in a forum post, or are at least willing to claim a victim status, to further their argument. Looks embarrassingly wimpy to me. But then I was a Platoon Sergeant, for many years, and may not have the level of sensitivity expected, in today's PC culture.

Luck;
Ken

I read personal computer culture first. Lol.

I have been following this thread and its derailment by complainers quite closely and I agree with most of what you wrote. However, after mentioning Platoon Sergeant and knowing its connotations in popular culture, I can’t help thinking you’re creating a perfect post to support the bullying aspect.

I’ve seen a few forum names pass that have helped me in the past and I know have helped a lot of other forum members. So please remember, I and a lot of other readers are still very grateful for your posts. Thanks!

Which method? the One click install for KOReader and Plato? Installing KSM and then KOReader and/or Plato?

Question: any alternative readers that is able to access/read the 'collections' for books?

Ron B. · 07-15-2019, 06:31 PM

How would one port the open source code for the HP48, an excellent old high end scientific calculator, to a kobo Aura with KSM9 and Koreader?

NiLuJe · 07-16-2019, 09:31 AM

Do you happen to have a link? Because otherwise I can't do much better than say: it depends

There are links to several in the 48HP Wikipedia, down in the emulator segment. page.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_48_series.

Not sure which would be best...guessing X48 at https://github.com/dparnell/i48

Emulators[edit]
Emu48 for Windows
X48 for Mac OS X, POSIX (Unix/Linux)
i48 - HP48GX emulator for iOS, based on X48
m48 – HP48 emulator for the iPhone, based on Emu48
Droid48 – HP48G Emulator for Android, based on X48
droid48sx – HP48SX Emulator for Android, based on Droid48
An HP48 emulator – decompiler for Unix/Linux or Windows (using Cygwin) by Paul Courbis

Ron B. · 07-16-2019, 04:48 PM

Thinking X48 at https://github.com/dparnell/i48 might be suitable.

But there are several others in the listed under emulators in the HP 48 series wiki

NiLuJe · 07-16-2019, 05:03 PM

That seems fairly macOS/iOS-specific, so that one'd be a hard no.

The tricky bit is going to be the UI. If you need something else than a CLI shell, good luck

Ron B. · 07-16-2019, 06:56 PM

After I posted noticed link was actually directed to the i48 conversion of X48 that's at a .de site that needs a log in.
Thought there was a chance it would just be simple procedure and be nice back up for my 30 year old calculator.
Its a bit different from most calculators as it uses reverse polish notation and a stack.

NiLuJe · 07-16-2019, 08:02 PM

Well, RPN means it's doable with a simple CLI interface, which is potentially Good News.

Plato has an RPN module, for instance

.

EDIT: Or, err, does it? I was possibly thinking of https://github.com/nerdypepper/eva, oops?

. Let's say: it has a calculator, though

I got a kobo glo from Aliexpress, updated it to latest firmware and the wifi wasnt connecting. So I had to reset the glo. Now, I cant find Koreader anymore.

Do I have to install the ko-reader myself?

NiLuJe · 10-28-2019, 02:38 PM

Most definitely, yes.
