Build:
- Manjaro ARM, RPI4B/4GB
- XFCE
- Resolution 1024x768
- VICE 3.7.1 r43529
- tcpser 1.15a (Jim Brain)
- Disable power settings, screensaver and lock.
===========================
Trial 1, Preliminary
- removed e.data and bd.data to force reconfiguration of bpc.
- configured "Bayou Black" BBS
- No sound
- Full Screen (alt-D) with decorations (alt-B)
- config file below

- Time Test - allowing board to idle while running, no network transmissions for about 3 hours to witness time drift.
- Start 3:33 am
- Stop at 5:05 am.
- Test was stopped as there was no time drift (difference between the NIB clock and the host clock for over 1.5 hours. Additionally, all witnessed cpu speeds were a constant 100%.
- Configuration and addition to network.
- Running with a configuration, system is between 80-100%. Not acceptable. Going to retry with a lower resolution.
- set to 640x480, took aspect true off, set rendering to nearest neighbor. Flickered to 99% during startup temporarily and then picked back up to 100% and 59.8 fps.
- I think I may have a winner. Need to set up subs and get it going for the next test of a live setup. I see no point in testing x64sc until the subs are setup. I wanted to do prelims to see if I could get the board to idle at 100% using xscpu64. x64sc historically has been less resource intensive than xscpu64.
