Okay looks perfect so far in Borland C++ ! I am playing with this on a small web interface I have been working on to a legacy system. Previously I would capture the mouse to the canvas area so only the relative movements were sent to the vm in the cloud, but this had a lot of issues and of course …

Its a good one. here are just a few of mine. I can answer that one, it doesn't sound that bad really, it just depends on the laptop, "newer" ones use the same speakers for the integrated audio card out and the basic system speaker sounds, so it's quite good on those. On older models usually without …

What a fast update! So it does not crash now which is amazing. What I do notice is, any time there is a dialog in the ide/turbovision, if the new dialog covers the current positon of the mouse cursor, if you move the mouse while the dialog is still open, it restores the character to the display from …

This is great! I have been looking for something like this for a while. Only issue I have come across in my use case , when I am in Borland C++ 3.1 IDE, if I compile and run my program the machine will crash if vbmouse.exe is loaded.... even just a printf hello world will crash. Exiting the IDE and …

Yeah, the game/program puts the data into memory somewhere, configures the dma registers to point to it etc, then programs the DSP to do the transfer. if you look at sbdiag.cpp in the SnarkBarker project that can also help understand at least a single cycle dma transfer. Looking at the SnarkBarker …

I've started playing with a different design, initially intended just for my NE2000 emulated wifi card, but I am able to do the soundcard stuff on it as well, and it so far a dramatically simplified design (electrically), which is one of the reasons this project has been slow to move, not because it …

Yes, the current design is like the format of the joystick card above. it has a DB15 joystick/midi port (just soundblaster 1.5 midi port), and the stanard 1/4 audio jack. having it with an external dongle like the ibm 3d sound etc was adding cost and complexity to manufacturing. The Compaq LTE Elite …

Yeah, I do currently run NetWare (3.2 & 4.11) under KVM so for my my current setup something like ipxbox is probably more suitable. I've got NetWare/IP setup but don't currently use it for anything and I've never actually tried running a game over it - interesting that it doesn't work. IIRC Novells …

It depends on what your end goal is. For gaming, I dont think re-implementing netware/ip dss etc makes sense as it would not work, but also I am not sure why you would re-implement it, it is pretty easy to run netware in a vm? I am not using an SDK, I just wrote it from scratch initially in C and …

IPX-over-UDP (iptunnel, netware/ip) etc will be no good for gaming. They do not handle broadcast traffic, well iptunnel sends broadcast to the gateway but everything else is to an ipv4 mapped address from the ipx node address (so will never work over the internet, this is meant for a private ipv4 …

The link above does this, dali runs on an old dos machine or vm if you want, and uses mtcp and will connect to various ipx servers/dosbox. Specifically the developer also wrote ipxbox which has all kinds of features such as pptp so you can use dialup networking with windows to get in on the ipx …

are you trying to make the cable match the ibm one? Maybe if possible just make it with more modern connectors? Well, there is no modern connector so to speak, as it has to be a connector that matches the framekit. Would you consider it a problem if it was similar to the attached pictures, except …

Really impressive how this all develops. And where does the hardware side of the project currently stand? As for Win95 drivers, must be an interesting challenge, yet, not very useful in my opinon, if gaming is concerned. But there may be other opinions. I'd pesonally really appreciate the vice …
