Re: NE2000 patch referenced "missing" file?

Posted on 2024-01-17, 14:01

Ha - looks like I missed it! - thanks! (where do you actually get it)? It’s part of the DirectX SDK, which I’d expect to be included in every release of Visual Studio since at least 1998. Thanks! I did install the DirectX SDK, but as I was messing around with trying 2 different versions of VC and …

Then you did not follow the blog because it specifically mentions that you need to add it. Ha - looks like I missed it! - thanks! (where do you actually get it)? I did find the part about adding it to the linker control, but sadly I was working with a capture of the blog from (way back when) and …

It’s called dxguid.lib I probably spelled it wrong when I manually copied the error message from the VM screen, I didn't do any operations with or specify in any way: dxguid*.lib It's not mentioned at all in the blog I've been following, so I don't see where this error is originating. I have …

Hi - still working on "compiling DosBox". I had it basically working, but switched to a copy of the source tree where I had applied the patches and MSVC totaly reset the project and lost all it's settings - I've started over within a virtual machine where I can easily backup and restore the entire …

Just in case anyone is interested: My "retirement" project: ... I am publishing some 40+ years worth of source code to "stuff I've written". Would you mind if somebody put this on github ? My only concern is that information tends to get "lost" with such things. I do have some documents describing …

I think twiz was referring to IMD file format support as a disk image in DOSBox, which I too, agree should have been added already. Most of my disk image archive is IMD because I like using the comment field to add information for each disk (all text on the sticker basically). Kodus to the awesome …

NE2000 patch referenced "missing" file?

Posted on 2023-11-27, 03:16

I'm trying to rebuild DosBox - want to keep it small(ish) so I'm not trying to use DosBox-X - I'm using SVN from DosBox.COM I have it building (with VS2010exp) and working, however I need to add the NE2000 patch. The version of PATCH.EXE I managed to find always seems to error-out, so I'm looking to …

Fond memories - I spent many hours typing at the original "Crowther and Woods" adventure game back in the late 70s (running on an IBM 360 mainframe). One of my first attempts at writing any sort of game was doing my own "Adventure Castle" - anyone who cares, can see it in the example programs for my …

Awesome, that's amazingly good of you Dave, thank you indeed. Looks like I am going to have to bookmark that for when 6809 or 8031/51 tinkering bug strikes. Thanks. Good to hear about other 6809/8051 fans - the 09 is probably my favorite 8bitter from a software perspective (It's the first I wrote …

I had a look at your compilers and related tooling a few weeks ago and was quite impressed by it because it is very simple and concise, yet powerful. Thanks. Do check back from time to time as I am continuing to add more material, and often tweak/add-to (mostly notes/additional documentation) to …

this is cool i hope to see this added to dosbox for better emulation of old games from the 80s I doubt it could be built in to DosBox without a lot of changes (to DosBox) - IMD accesses the floppy controller directly and in some very non-standard ways - this is why it pretty much only runs under …

IMD is an amazing tool so it's great to know that the source is there should anyone need to fix bugs or add features or support for other platforms. I wonder about adding support for PIO mode so it could support DMAless systems like the PCjr or Tandy 1000? Anyway thanks again, very cool projects in …

that sounds like your wifi card/dongle can't do wpa2. depending on the device, a driver upgrade might fix it. Quite likely.. I just haven't bothered to "figure it out" or "find" drivers suitable for these old machines. I have a couple of the original "Aspire One" netbooks - Atom based TINY WinXP …

Recently used DDLINK to transfer data to a system that is "externally I/O challenged," and despite the 8250 UARTs, the 19200 bps serial rate, and the wireless RS-232 transceivers involved, the solution exceeded my expectations. Always good to know that some people still use this stuff and derive …
