Interesting! Indeed, both -R and -3 are necessary for it to not crash.

I also tested the Linux build from the latest Virtual Pascal, but it aborts with a runtime error similar to the one from the binary package, but it at least gets to the first file and crashes after having done some output and creating the file. Whereas the one from the binary package crashes …

e_wise built from source using the latest Virtual Pascal (from 2006) works on Windows 10. I tried this today. But it does not build out of the box, because some parts of the home-grown gettext mechanism seem to be missing. I patched it and initialized all the string pointers by hand, statically. It …

I’ve never approached Virtual Pascal in the past, but now that I’ve done so because of e_wise, I am a bit puzzled as to how the original author built a DOS executable out of this. I can only choose from OS/2, Win32 or Linux. I guess he must have used an earlier version of Virtual Pascal. Anyway, I …

OTOH, I once compiled some Fedora gcc package on a SheevaPlug for 45 hours, IIRC ;). It takes 10 days to compile GCC on PS3. :D :D :D I’ve never approached Virtual Pascal in the past, but now that I’ve done so because of e_wise, I am a bit puzzled as to how the original author built a DOS …

It really depends on your setup. I can understand that compiling LibreOffice on a 2009 laptop, even with SSD and maxed out RAM can take at least 10 hours... but with a current-day Ryzen and 32GB RAM you can do it in 40-50 minutes if you know what you're doing. I was talking specifically about e_ …

There is also WiseUnpacker, which should be up to the task (not tested yet) and might be portable enough.

Between line 30 and 40 there's a considerable amount of time taken. It would be nice to let us know what's exactly happening. Normally when e_wise is run in DOSBox, it looks like in the attachment. Now that I’ve seen it myself, I know what you’re talking about. However, IIRC without ansi.sys, DOS …

Going by the files in the source archive, it seems to have been built with Virtual Pascal. Which I don't know, but I had experience with Turbo Pascal back then. And I speak German, so I can at least easily understand all the messages, comments and identifier names in there.

I’ve recently seen a very similar usage of DOSBox in the open-watcom-v2 build. I did not check what they did exactly, but superficially, it would be mostly the same. Do you really need stdout? Don’t you just need to get out some files? After you have a mount, that would happen automatically anyway. …
Re: DOSBox ECE (for Windows & Linux)

No. This code is just not compatible with Windows x64, apparently. Because on Windows, longs are 32 bit and thus not large enough to hold a pointer.
Re: DOSBox ECE (for Windows & Linux)

Interesting. The vgaonly setting should not have anything to do with the output side, as it only specifies what is being emulated. So the fact that it manages to mess up a shader is somewhat surprising.

Original resolution is 640 x 400, but you can see that the game itself already has pixels of 2 x 2 (see attachment "original"). 640 x 400 would have been considered high resolution at that time, which Lemmings definitely was not. Is "640 x 400" not just an artifact of how DOSBox handles this …
Re: 2x scaling by averaging in DOSBox. Is it possible?
Posted on 2020-12-29, 12:24
Bilinear is basically averaging. Thinking about the positioning of the picture, it will most likely be offset by half a pixel compared to your method, so no original lines will remain, as every one will be a linear combination of two input lines. I have not played with the shaders myself, although …
