Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A personal project building a custom file system for Game Boy Advance hardware with NetBSD and PUFFS.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-08 issue.

For: NetBSD, filesystem, and retro-hardware tinkerers
Worth noticing: The roadmap names missing pieces, including timestamps and permissions, and says overwriting is not yet working.

Field notes

The page links to a forked NetBSD source tree and names two source files, si.c and gcport_si.c. Its roadmap distinguishes implemented, partial, and unfinished operations: directory listing is underway, timestamps and permissions are missing, and overwriting is not working. An architecture diagram traces the intended setup across a GBA, a Nintendo Wii, NetBSD, and web-serving components.
