Hey all ,I wanted to follow up on this thread to let everyone know I figured out the solution to my issues, but I suppose the exact issue should be described before I describe the solution.
PROBLEM: I want to run a proper Etoys on a Pi400. I don't necessarily need it to load projects, I just need it to be able to make projects and load THOSE projects. ISSUES I HAD: Finding a modern Etoys that runs properly AND doesn't have the issues of older VMs. Squeak 6 has broken Etoys functionality in fundamental ways that makes it unusable for serious projects (no playfield viewer is the deal breaker...the weird 'heading' errors can be ignored with new scripts). SOLUTION: Squeak 5.3 runs Etoys flawlessly on Pi400. I do hope Squeak can unbreak Etoys as honestly having any speed gains from drawing optimization in newer Squeaks would be great, but I'm happy as a clam right now. The next step is to start twisting linux into making the environment I want Squeak to be in...(read: time to annoy a completely different group of people on a completely different mailing list!) Thanks folks for listening and I hope anyone who wants to use proper Etoys on a Pi400 can find this message. Once again, TLDR: If you want Etoys running perfectly on a pi400, get Squeak 5.3. It's the literal only version that works properly I've personally found.
