[Testers] Looking for testers for my virtual console

My little virtual console is in early stages, and I've hardly had a chance to test it on different hardware configurations, so I'm keen for as many people to run it as possible,  and give feedback on whether it runs, and what hardware (OS/CPU/RAM/GPU) they're running it on.

I already know it crashes on an old IntelHD based laptop from circa 2011 (which seems to be down to bad intel GL drivers) but I'd love to hear more  - especially if you've got any old laptops lurking under the bed which you could fire up - I'm eager to figure out if there's a particular cut off for Intel GPUs!

It doesn't do a whole lot yet, but as long as it boots (you should see a rainbow screen wipe) and you see a white text console saying Ready with a flashing cursor and a mouse pointer, it's all fine.


If you really want to test it, type

run("paint") 

to launch the rudimentary paint program (Escape, or Ctrl+Alt+Ctrl to get out) 


or

run("octave") 

to see if audio works (might want to turn your volume down though - the sound coming out of it isn't particularly pretty yet!)
