Ej debianiści… gdzie się sprawdza przez co został zastąpiony dosemu? Albo o co mu chodzi, bo gada do mnie zagadkami. :D

Czy trzeba zapiąć niestabilne repo? Nie chcę. Czy jest opcja zainstalowania tego jednego pakietu z niestabilnego repo tak, żeby on się sam aktualizował?
A jak muszę sam pobrać plik deb to jakie jest najbardziej legitne źródło takich?

#debian #dosemu

terminal i próba zainstalowania pakietu dosemu zakończona komunikatem:

Pakiet dosemu nie ma dostępnej wersji, ale odnosi się do niego inny pakiet.
Zazwyczaj oznacza to, że pakietu brakuje, został zastąpiony przez inny
pakiet lub nie jest dostępny przy pomocy obecnie ustawionych źródeł.

E: Pakiet dosemu nie ma kandydata do instalacji

weird that #dosemu 1.4 works better than #dosemu2 for running old #BBS door games under #Linux.

#WWIV #retrocomputing

one of the blockers to migrating my #WWIV #BBS from my old server to a new server is that some of the old doors that work with #dosemu 1.x no longer work in #dosemu2. i may just bite the bullet and transfer anyway.

@riley @mos_8502 I usually use #dosbox or #dosemu on Linux when I want to "multitask #DOS programs"

Developing a new compiler for SIBO/EPOC16 is only half the battle.

There are a not-insignificant collection of DOS-based tools in the SDK itself. Resource file compilers, conversion from .EXE to .IMG or .APP, boot image creation tools, .DYL builders, etc. These would have to be recreated as well.

Without source code, these will have to be reverse-engineered.

#DOSBox does the job for now. #Dosemu could work, but that's x86 only.

I wish I was a better programmer!

#Psion #retrocomputing

@renice #Discovery is red team. #DS9 is the beleaguered #neteng that keeps getting told there's no funding for a dedicated blue team. Except sometimes #section31 comes along claiming to be blue team, but they're really a bunch of self-motivated charcoal-hat cowboy coders on shadow projects. You're pretty sure most of them couldn't pass the company code of conduct policy tests. There's a persistent rumor they're going to get formally recognized as a skill team any quarter now.

#Voyager is that startup that never quite lands their IPO, and keeps having to seek new sources of VC funding along the way. They keep picking up new people, and the old hands can barely remember what it was like before seven years of 24/7 crunch time.

#Prodigy is that code #bootcamp that gets away with not charging for their services because the parent company accidentally bundled them with a datacenter's electric bill, where they're just noise in the budget.

#Picard is the local #Solaris users group that's all gung-ho about #Illumos. They've got some good points and originated some iconic features, but they're principally about nostalgia these days.

#tos is the retrocomputing club. Spectrum Sinclairs and Altairs line the walls, but are mostly for show. Someone converted an old IBM POWER workstation into a #Hackintosh so they could show Kid Pix to the kids. Everybody else spends their time showing off their DOS savegame files on the club's file server. One guy is playing DOOM in the corner with the music coming from an external Roland MIDI keyboard. Another guy figured out how to launch old DOS door games under containerized #dosemu instances via inetd, but people stopped talking to him once he solved the sandbox escape problem by having systemd launch the containers on-demand in a deprivileged chroot.

#StrangeNewWorlds is the club founded by that guy from the retrocomputing club that got DOS door games running via systemd; Now he's porting his door game collection to run in #webassembly, and has managed to reach a new generation of people respinning the classics.

#Enterprise is the #beos users group. Really a subgroup of the local retrocomputing club. They hate it, because people keep confusing their interests with Mac OS Classic and Linux.

Did I miss anyone?

Here we go with the #7GamestToKnowMe, in no particular order:

Sam & Max: Hit The Road (PC DOS, although I could pick almost any LucasFilm/LucasArts adventure!)
Transport Tycoon (PC DOS, also TT Deluxe and OpenTTD by extension!)
Final Fantasy VII (PlayStation)
Pinball Fantasies (PC DOS, with internal speaker before we had a SoundBlaster at home)
SD-Snatcher (MSX2)
Factorio (PC Linux)
Gran Turismo (PlayStation)

Some of these have ports, so I have noted down which platform I played on first. While my first computer was a #MSX we had PCs at home for the most of it. I've used Linux since 1998 and (re)played many games with emulators @scummvm, #DOSBox and #DOSEmu — they are wonderful projects and I am infinitely grateful for them.

Also, it's very hard to choose only seven games, so I wanted to put there a bit of every genre I enjoy or games that really caused an impression :blobbounce:

One of my frustrations with my #Psion development workflow is the C SDK being DOS-only.

It's sort-of manageable. I code in VS Code (for now), mount my Psion projects folder as a drive in #DOSBox, and run TopSpeed C. That's fine for a small project, but it's awkward with larger projects.

I'd love to just have a Makefile that calls DOSBox, runs the compilation and sends stdout in DOS to stdout in #Linux. I *think* #dosemu might be able to do it, but I've not tried yet.

#RetroComputing #RetroDev

@dosnostalgic For actual topics, try searching for something like #DOS or #DOSEmu and click on one of the search results. Don't worry if the number next to it says 0, as it feels like somethings broken there, since results come up even if it says 0...

How would I get dosemu to listen on a port? Or can I pass a socket into to dosemu from command line?

#dos
#bbs
#dosemu
#dosemu2
#linux

... Or perhaps #dosemu combined with #nc? 🤔

Mit Mechwarrior 2 habe ich damals (1995) die ersten Multiplayer Partien gespielt. #RetroGaming mit 2400 Baud Modem 😅 Mal schauen ob das wieder zum Laufen bekomme #DosEmu

The PsychDOS desktop environment is now available

https://psychoslinux.gitlab.io/DOS/INDEX.HTM

The PsychDOS desktop environment is an ANSI-like graphical interface for launching applications and having a few other other features. I highly recommend looking at the SCREENSHOTS and DOCS sections, as well as taking a look at the QCKGUIDE.PDF (Page 3.5 Issue #01) file to get a better idea.
