We're down to 10 relatively minor or largely fixed issues. We'll start by rolling out Release Candidate 1 once these are sorted out.

PCem & 86Box: PC Emulatoren für alte Retro Spiele

Während es bereits viele Möglichkeiten gibt, um ältere PC-Spiele auf modernen Systemen zum Laufen zu bringen (DOSBox, virtuelle Maschinen, ScummVM), bleibt das klassische Gaming-Gefühl oft auf der Strecke.

Doch was wäre, wenn es eine Lösung gäbe, die dieses nostalgische Flair einfangen könnte?
Tatsächlich gibt es einen Emulator, der diesem Anspruch gerecht wird.

DOSBox für Multiplayer Spiele einrichten: IPX und (Null)Modem

Das Problem bei vielen alten (MSDOS) multiplayerfähigen Spielen liegt darin, dass sie das TCP/IP-Protokoll nicht beherrschen und somit nicht direkt über ein LAN oder das Internet miteinander kommunizieren können. Sie sind für Multiplayerpartien entweder auf das IPX-Protokoll angewiesen oder unterstützen nur serielle Modem- oder Nullmodem Verbindungen.

Morning Fedi! I asked before one time what your favorite DOS games were, but now I wanna know, do you still play any DOS games today? It doesn't matter if it's a remake like System Shock or whatever, as long it was on DOS!

IBM 5150 и разработка под самый первый PC

Есть много интересных способов провести новогодние праздники, но поскольку я уже старенький — вместо классических алкогольного угара, ведра оливье и просмотра «Иронии судьбы» выбрал себе более редкое и необычное занятие.

For the first time in ages, I've had a good afternoon writing code!

I've been working on #ecobj. I can now analyse six OMF record types (well, five and a bit) using some rough-and-ready Pascal. And I've started to get a picture of how the original ECOBJ.EXE moves the records around.

As far as I know, there are 10 record types that ECOBJ.EXE handles. So I'm over halfway there. Sort of.

Using the #TopSpeed Object Disassembler (TSDA) has really helped to make sure I'm heading in the right direction. #DOSBox makes this easy by letting me send the output from TSDA.EXE to a file, so I can view it on Linux.

Two panes in tmux, both displaying text files using bat. On the left is output from TSDA, on the right is the output from the new ECOBJ. There is a list of extrn statements on the left that correspond with EXTDEF OMF records on the right.

Running this code crashes my #DOSBox. Either by “Exit to error: Illegal GRP4 Call 2” or a segfault. 🤔

(Run “base64 -d the_text.txt > crash.com” on a Unix-ish system to make a .COM. Prints a text and tries to crash the DOSBox, exits with a message and a beep otherwise.)

I just completed "Christmas Tree Farm" - Day 12 of #AdventOfCode in #TurboPascal. Only in #DOSBox for now, until I get back home and run it on the real #Xi8088 hardware.

I can already tell that parsing the input file will take a lot longer than solving!
