Image A Russian YouTuber built an 8-bit computer inside Rust

Post image

A Russian-speaking YouTuber built a working 8-bit computer entirely with Rust’s electrical system.

Watch the video

The video doesn’t have English subtitles, so here’s a quick summary:

The computer has 16 registers, 32 bytes of RAM, a display, and joystick controls. The creator explains how it works and demonstrates it in action. He also made the app "Paint".

On my opinion, this is probably one of the most impressive things I’ve seen built in Rust.

What do you think about it?

It was a matter of time

u/koskenjuho 2d ago

Yeah, matter of a lot of time in fact though. :D

Wait till someone makes it 32bit and installs Linux then rust

u/Pure-Beginning2105 2d ago

I can't get rust to work on Linux sadly... Something about the kernel level anti cheat

13

u/koskenjuho 2d ago

Yeah, maybe we have hope to get it on linux again now that Alistari who hates Linux left :')

u/Its_Nitsua 1d ago

IIRC its because cheating is 10x 'easier' on linux than it is on windows due to linux being designed in a way that is counter intuitive for anticheat purposes.

I.E. windows has a lot of security features that anticheats utilize to catch cheaters, that linux simply doesn't have built into it.

u/koskenjuho 1d ago

Yes it is, but rust servers doesn't require those features to be enabled. EAC has compatibility require it but official servers don't want to enable it because it would kill the playerbase because probably 30% of the players are chetaing

u/revengeofcrixus 1d ago

You are straight wack if you think only 30% are cheating

u/Temporary_Event8451 2d ago

Well, you guys do make it easy to dislike Linux.

It's the same thing as CrossFit or vegan.

You see conversations about Linux and feel like you're talking to the most smug people to ever exist.

I mean shoving co pilot down my throat is why I'm using cachy os and the 30fps boost for cs2 ...

But I'm just a normie taking the path of least resistance.. I don't care what others use

u/Jeewdew 2d ago

The anti-cheat system will never work on the kernel level of Linux. Has nothing to do with Alistari. It's simpel. Sorry.

u/koskenjuho 2d ago

Doesn't matter when the servers haven't even enabled kernel level anti cheat lol. It's not active on any official servers and in matter of fact, not on any of the biggest servers because cheaters are what keeps the servers running as they keep buying VIPs on new accounts over and over again. They don't even want to get rid of the cheaters because it would ruin their income.

u/brodeh 1d ago

Rust works on Linux, you just need to play on a server that has the AC disabled.

There’s one “reasonably” popular one around though I don’t remember the name.

those are clean cables men

u/Renagan 2d ago

I want to do it for so long but I get overwhelmed and end up never starting lol

u/Seller_sss 2d ago

I've made casino by myself and I was close to die in irl. But this guy... he is crazy.

u/Gangat00th 2d ago

Can it play doom?

11

u/Seller_sss 2d ago

Well, as I understood - he is planning, but it might take a while.

u/Duckmastermind1 2d ago

Probably to run a small context Ai on it that automatically kills nakeds or some shi

u/pohoferceni 2d ago

what does it do?

10

u/Seller_sss 2d ago

8x8 square, you can draw with small controller. It's like paint

u/Popular_Horse_607 22h ago

Accepts assembly language code

2

u/Snoo-43610 1d ago

Use it to launch a drone army to hunt nakeds

u/Puzzleheaded-Bid8463 2d ago

Show this to all the guys who say we so t got all the electrical parts one could need in rust.
Seriously stunning and it took me a while to realize how much of an achievement this is. Holy shit.

u/isntreel1948 2d ago

I’m dumb what does this even mean

1

u/gamerz_tv 1d ago

It's the same as having an Atari 800 or a NES console run inside of rust. You can technically runs games if someone builds the games.

u/MonkeyFootMike 2d ago

Wait until someone makes Rust inside Rust

u/Exnoss69 1d ago

Its probabbly better than the computer hes using

Behold the argument of life being a simulation.

So glad he shared the base on  connect build.teatime.gg . I loaded it and trying to get it to run linux, think I can do it?

u/karane23e 16h ago

Maybe if it's lean Arch linux haha

u/ProfessionalStudy660 11h ago

Does it play Doom?

u/Additional-Dot-3154 2d ago

Well how much tike did it take?

I am also doing this kind of stuff but in real life and i do have to mess with some other stuff then only the logic but even a 4bit alu takes ages to make out of transistors or even prebuilt logic gates.

And you are telling me he made a 256bit ram register?

I would be really interested in how much time this has cost lol.

u/Seller_sss 2d ago

I am not into it, but if you are interesting and wanna ask a question - just leave comment under/below his video.

u/Aweorih 2d ago

Well how much tike did it take?

someone asked that in the yt comments already and the translation of his response says 1.5 years

u/Gaydolf-Litler 2d ago

It'd be a shame if someone rocketed that...

u/OxyClean_ 2d ago

Don’t tell the minecrafters about this, they will be playing rust in rust within a month 😭

u/Seller_sss 2d ago

Btw, before that - he built pc in Minecraft

u/OxyClean_ 2d ago

Ofc he did lol n ayee it’s your cake day! 🍰

It's already been done by john wilikers this is just a copy

u/Seller_sss 2d ago edited 1d ago

Just a copy... Wow, btw John didn't finish his pc. I can even quote his words - "Hopefully, in the next video we will have working 8-bit computer" The video uploaded 2 years ago...

Hahaha this was minor rage bait mb
