This is not at all for serious use or consumption now, or perhaps ever, but I was itching to throw this together so I could Twitch stream some PicoSystem tutorials without the kerfuffle of rigging up a camera pointed at the PicoSystem screen.
What is it? It's PicoSystem MicroPython, ported to Linux/SDL2. As in: it will run on your Linux and Windows (WSL) desktop with a REPL for your code and a window representing PicoSystem's screen.
It isn't intended to be an emulator, or representative of the PicoSystem's performance characteristics, memory, or even terribly feature complete- but it does give me a quick and easy way to demo API functions. Controllers... should... work... too.
The CI currently builds one binary against Ubuntu 20.04 and it works on WSL 20.04 (using VcXsrv), Linux Mint and other such systems with compatible libraries.
