Re: Need help upgrading MUNT on Ubuntu

Thanks, I'd like to try that. When I did a Google search for "DOSBox SVN 3858" this page came up. Is this the one you're talking about? I didn't see anything about a Munt patch there, so can you tell me where you got it? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're describing to do?

Thanks. It installed, although it still sounds the same to me. But... Munt 0.1.3 is ten years old. In which museum did you steal this version? I just downloaded the files that were linked on that thread I linked to. I figured it was a beta version because 64-bit computers were still somewhat new …

Re: Dialing into a BBS in 2014: What do you think?

The same person I posted about in the other thread, who told me he paid $60 a month to have telnet requests to a domain name forwarded to his static IP address, said that his BBS software still supported actual call-ins, but he didn't have it set up because almost no one does it. At one point, he …

Re: Thoughts on Emulating BBS Door Games with Node.js?

Thanks for the info, I had no idea there were so many options out there. I wonder, back when they were run from phone lines, was it possible for multiple people to connect to one at the same time, or did they have to wait and take turns? Also, what exactly is a "door" game? If you're a retro gamer …

Ah, yeah, I specifically wanted to use a VPS for it. I'm not someone who likes to leave his computer running, or wants to have the computer running the BBS software 24/7, and I'm sure some others in the community must feel the same way. So to be clear, I would need some FOSSIL driver for Linux, and …

Need help upgrading MUNT on Ubuntu

Posted on 2014-07-15, 12:19

in MT-32 General
I'm running Ubuntu on a 64-bit AMD machine. I had previously used these instructions to set up Roland MT-32 emulation for use with DOSBox. But as it's been quite some time, I see that the current version of MUNT is now 1.4.0, whereas I'm still using 0.1.3x86_64. Or maybe that's the most current …

Thanks for the explanation. Dealing with your internet connection/router to be able to accept incoming telnet requests is another thing. Since you said this, I want to be clear that I'm specifically talking about getting a cheap VPS and running the BBS from there. Is this what you're referring to in …

Re: 5.25" Floppy Drives

Just out of curiosity, why do you consider $15-$20 to be an outrageous price? I have an old 5.25" drive lying around that I always meant to install in some old computer, but never got around to. If I was going to sell it, I don't think I would part with it for less than $50.

Re: How to slow down a windows 98 computer for slower games?

in Milliways
Not really an answer, but I just want to say congratulations on being another living person who still keeps their old Windows 98 computer to play old games. I seriously thought I was the only one still doing that... at least, several years ago until I got fed up with that and threw in the towel and …

Well I would assume the BBS software would be specifically coded to access the modem, whereas Node.js actually creates its own server to respond to requests. So there would need to be some interface between the code that tries to access the modem and what Node.js is actually accessing. The …

It doesn't really have to be "dedicated" anymore, does it? Not by modern standards of the word "dedicated." I'm sure you can do other stuff on the computer while the BBS software is running. But not everyone wants to leave their computer on all day for a variety of reasons, and it would be nice if …

Thoughts on Emulating BBS Door Games with Node.js?

Posted on 2014-07-14, 01:40

This forum seems to have a lot of discussion on helping retro gamers emulate old environments, and I'm sure many of us must have a nostalgisa for old school BBSes, the precursors of the modern Internet, and in particular, for DOOR games we played on them, such as the popular Legend of the Red Dragon …

Has anyone released a fixed version of this code compilable on 64-bit Ubuntu? I'm having a similar problem as Serious Callers Only had on pages 3 and 4 of this thread. but I'm afraid I don't have the expertise to follow all the changes he was instructed to make in order to get this working.

Anyone know a solution to this problem? I'm having this problem too, and I would love to know what ecowriter fixed in his configuration file. I changed fullscreen=false to fullscreen=true, but that only makes the program start in fullscreen. Pressing Alt-Enter after that only works once, to switch …
