I keep running into an odd bug I cannot quite pin down. I believe it's because ABI is somehow changed between two compilations so some characters/symbols get mismatched. I have got absolutely the same problem, but ultimately I just take it as a feature, and somehow I'm used to this behavior. …

Ok, no code here. I get it. Out of curiosity, I had to try SoftDrv, and believe it or not, it works. Unfortunately with a lot of bugs and only for static maps (BSP tree?). All meshes and dynamic things (even glass) are not visible/are not properly rendered. Are meshes somehow tied on Direct3D …

Well, they should hurry or they might not be in time with code release for 4K 2022 remake. The trailer is already out: [img=https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3ArollMjLx0/sddefault.jpg] This would be especially crispy on SoftDrv with texture dither. Even in Unreal Engine it was in progress in the year 1999 and …

thank goodness this was already figured out a decade earlier before Probably. But I haven't been able to figure out anything out of this piece of code. UT code is a bit better. Next time please at least comment on things. ;-) BTW: Any plans for Engoo maintenance release? It deserves one. your …

The Serpent Rider: I was more interested in Software renderer and as it isn't used in-game, there is source code for it. As well as for GlideAPI, Galaxy, EAX and Some private and proprietary particle-systems. I see now why it was leaked. This could not have been open-sourced in million years. It was …

Allegedly the final build's still on UE1. What final build? There is more? I suppose it's too much to hope that this could enable modders to create a new compiled build for Deus Ex (another Unreal engine 1 game)? Yes, it is. These are two unrelated engines with a common source base (not released to …

It's just me or has anyone else noticed how the leaked version source code includes Unreal Engine from let's say 2000 or early 2001?: As far as I know, Unreal 1 engine hasn't been open-sourced to this day. Probably the reason why DNF2001 wasn't released too, even unfinished. But as I stroll the …

Your however using /dev/sdb, which to me means it is not a real floppy drive. But probably a USB Floppy Drive, which uses a completely different protocol called UFI. You are right. It's acttualy TEAC. FDC controller is embedded inside and system has no access to low-level floppy functions. That's …

It's not the same. Block devices have stricter requirements regarding read/write sizes and offsets, may require explicit seeks... there's no guarantee the C library will take care of that correctly if you use the buffered I/O functions (which DOSBox does). Hmm. There should be warning in DOSBox …

So short answer: No, no equivalent for direct manipulation with device. Why it is problem? Work with block device is just as work with regular file. Seeking, reading, writing. It should work. It is safe just to comment checking macro?

Which is exactly what I want. /dev/sdb is floppy device. I don't want to use system mounting because caching, I want direct mount from Dosbox. dd if=/dev/sdb of=/tmp/image.img works perfectly. IMGMOUNT /dev/sdb - file is not a file but directory. What?

gerwin: Hmm. How was the thing then done in vanilla doom? There is no source code? I can do it through V_DrawPatchDirect() as it is done in I_InitDiskFlash but blitter would be nicer.
