Re: DOSBox-X on macOS Sierra: Networking?

Posted on 2019-01-30, 23:42

Decided to give it another go. I got an updated dosbox-x binary, which has NE2000 patch, to run on macOS Mojave. No go. Same problem, realnic lists interfaces with no description at all. None of them are usable. I am wondering if its a problem with libpcap? But I thought macOS already comes with …

Honestly, the modern browser experience is so powerful that it is basically impossible to correctly render any modern site on a vintage machine with only a handful of megabytes of RAM. What would be more useful would be to do it Opera style: render on some server, then send the image. Or simply use …

I am not trying to use the webmail either. I just tested a few things for curiosity (including the webmail) when I set up sslstrip. Besides, Outlook Express 5.0 works fine on WFWG3.11 if I set up a stunnel on my rPI3 to connect to the gmail server. Perfectly fine for me. What I am thinking now is …

For HTTPS I use a custom HTTPSProxyMII build from MSFN. I run it on whichever Windows host I want and then configure the browser in the old operating system to that proxy and then surf TLS 1.2 sites. Of course TLS 1.2 will work but if the browser doesn't support the page then it's not going to …

Stunnel was mentioned here earlier and I looked into it. But it seems that you need to explicitly configure every host you want to connect to. You can't use it to handle the mandatory TLS while you randomly surf the web in naked TLS-free glory. (Also the latest version only has 64-bit win binaries …

I want to open a separate topic about my attempts and my setup. Where should I start? I also plan to resurrect an old killed notebook, it might still work but the screen is shot down. If I manage to get a VGA display connected, I might install WFWG311 or W95/98 or W2000. It might deserve a topic …

To my surprise, it did connect, but google (I tried gmail first) blocked it, it keeps asking me for my authentication. Did you turn on the "allow legacy apps" thing on your Google account? You guys wont believe, the script I posted earlier (“legacyweb.net”) WORKS!! I managed to connect to gmail, …

I gave up on NT 3.51 since it can’t run on DosBox and iDOS 2. Almost thought about going to W95, but I was never a fan of this GUI. I guess that I will really have to set up my rPI3 to run some scripts in the middle. IIRC, you can switch Windows 95 to use the old Win3.x GUI... WHAAAAT??? Please …

https://github.com/justinschw/legacyweb I tested this on my rPi3. Downloaded, installed, configured. Then proceed to set up Outlook Express on my WFWG 3.11. To my surprise, it did connect, but google (I tried gmail first) blocked it, it keeps asking me for my authentication. Then I went back to the …

It looks like Retrozilla TLS 1.2 is crashes on start for some reason. Retrozilla 2.1 works fine https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=12102&p=728682#p728682 Can't find retrozilla 2.1 suite equivalent whereas there is one for Retrozilla TLS 1.2 with the mail client. To access TLS 1.2 sites …

Looking in the settings, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with Internet Explorer 5 + Outlook Express 5 supports both SSL v2 and SSL v3. Studying the history of SSL, I don’t think the SSL 3 standard was changed since 1996 when it was promulgated. I see the corresponding option in XP for TLS 1.0 but that …
