GEMS NT

GEMS is Essentially Maybe Spinel Next Technologies.

Happy 128 commits!

Important notices!

In order to contribute, you must follow the NodeMixaholic C.O.C.

Also: This is not Spinel, we are just trying to be better. ;)

Now, we have a new versioning system, basically it's FULL_YEAR-MONTH-DAY-REVISION, IF NEEDED

Requirements

Required to build:

Required to use:

VMWare/A spare x86 pc. (Ok, it's not required, but it will most likely break your main operating system and/or erase your data if you don't)
The VMWare image provided here or a hard drive formatted as FAT32
The latest release of GEMS NT.

NOTE: Make sure you have Visual Studio closed while installing Cosmos!

How to build.

Install COSMOS
After installed, go to Debug build settings, change build to ISO, then goto Cosmos (new), and finally then disable Debuging.
When that's done, just build it and enjoy. In VMWare, of course! :)

VM building instructions

Create an Other 64bit VM with at least 256MB virtual RAM
Replace HDD IDE image with the one provided
Replace CD Image with GEMS NT

Benefits of using NT over the old GEMS?

More modern, simple, and easy code!
Easy to use and compile!
Clear fixed!
You can finally input commands! (Type cmds for commands!)
Text doesn't wrap around to the top!
A filesystem!
Now with E-EXP (Extra EXPerience) from the creator.
All of this (and maybe even more) thanks to Cosmos!

Fun facts

The GEMS team has an internal function to play notes. It goes something like this: PCSpeaker.PCSpeaker.play(PCSpeaker.PCSpeaker.notes.D3, 1000);

Also, I (NodeMixaholic) mispelled "micro.cs" as "macro.cs", I left it in there because I thought it was funny. :o)

Fun fact 3: The GEMS logo is a cross between A Spinel (the mineral) with a crack in the shape of an "S", and a heart, to show that this is a Homage to PatchMixolydic and her Spinel OS. Also: The SamLang logo is a cross between a shield, a gem, as well as the initials for SamLang, S.L. (Symbolized as SL)
