OK, guys, there's a misunderstand. I'm writing an ebuild for Counter Strike. Someone else is writing a WISE unpacker. End-user expectations from an ebuild is that it installs requested software or assets. This is currently implemented. It will be followed up with ebuilds for FTEQW (engine) and …

2. I've got a dump full of files and no info about directory structures and filenames so I can even recover from this state: Well, you know what the files are supposed to be, right? Is it not trivial to map the dumped files to the filenames you expect? Possibly by using hashes? (Presumably the …

Everyone who uses Gentoo is patient. :D This is really really slow, though… 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 …

Why can't you use this zip archive? https://archive.org/download/counter-strike-1.5/csv15full_cstrike.zip I already said why! This file is not part of the original official release and therefore it's a legal liability to host something like this. See http://web.archive.org/web/20031118182924/ …

Are there free data files available somewhere that I could test e_wise on? Yes. Counter-Strike 1.5 is free of charge - https://archive.org/download/counter-strike-1.5/csv15full.exe If anyone would like to also take a look, here's what I published: https://gitlab.com/src_prepare/src_prepare-overlay …

>I'm assuming you are using a script to do all this to provide to the user and not repacking the content yourself since potentially that is not allowed. Yes. csv15full.exe was released as a freeware offering by Counter-Strike crew consisting of its developers back in June 12, 2002, before they were …

Are we talking about hypotheticals or what you are currently trying to do? Is your machine not x86? Are you building a package on a machine you cannot play the game on? How would the non-x86 machine play the x86 game? It wouldn't be DOSBox. I know Half-Life uses LFN can't remember if counterstrike …

Is there any reason you can't use e_wise_w.exe? It's a 32bit windows app so should run fine in Wine. Yes. It's exactly the reason you mention :D First of all, not everyone has x86. Heck, there may be a future where x86 is a thing of the past. What then? Second, running Windows applications through …

we interject src_fetch from the caller to also download e_wise, a Pascal program for DOS, Windows and OS/2 that does the job just fine... kinda. It gets the correct results, with a DOS executable it isn't really a vendor lock-in for x86, but it's not as nice as let's say 7z or unrar if they could …

Hello, I'm writing an ebuild for Counter-Strike 1.5 for Gentoo Linux. Turns out, I can accomplish this right now, but I'd like to make the user aware of what's happening. Here's the workflow of how the ebuild works, and what parts I want to improve before publishing it. 1. src_fetch retrieves …

ISO is shorthand for ISO 9660 filesystem, which by definition cannot hold audio tracks. It is only a 1:1 copy of a particular data track by definition. FYI mounting a cuesheet (closest thing to an open format that supports CDDA) in DOS would probably require a TSR which in turn requires EMM386 which …

Aced it! Big thanks to @bloodem and @cyclone3d !!! For whoever else has the VT82C686 A/B south bridge or Abit VP6: 1. Reserve IRQ 5 for your Yamaha YMF724 2. Use SETUPDS.EXE from SETUPDS-VIA-VT82C686A-B.7z from https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bx6yUkEXCMV-NkY5RklBLWNjT1k provided by @cyclone3d. I …

See my sig for all the modified setupds programs as well as drivers, etc. Excellent! It worked on first try and I was able to allocate DMA channel 0 over D-DMA and play 8bit SoundBlaster sound. However, upon next reboot, the Yamaha driver would detect the card on IRQ 127 and it couldn't even play …

OK. Suppose I wanted to add support for Abit VP6, motherboard that runs a Via Apollo Pro 133A chipset. I found the ISA bridge in this motherboard has PCI ID 1106:0686. I'm looking at this post https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=505812#p505812 From what I understand, things I'm looking for are in …

Hey. Sorry to necro this thread, but I find it REALLY annoying that there is no reliable source of Yamaha YMF7xx drivers. 1. Yamaha isn't very helpful moving stuff from http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/lsi/download/ (referenced MANY times throughout this board) to http://device.yamaha.com/en/ …

Hello everyone, I'm including a PDF with the motherboard manual for reference. Due to site limitations, it's split into 2 files. If you do `cat vp6.pdf.1.pdf vp6.pdf.2.pdf > vp6.pdf` on a system that supports cat and pipes, it'll produce the full PDF. The gist of the question is does anyone know …
