Emm386 having issues may be from it clobbering something 'important' in the uma to set up the pageframe. Try it with x=a000-afff I=b000-b7ff x=c000-ffff ram noems notr

@Jo22: I ran DOSIDLE and it does not detect any APM features, so I guess it does not support them (or maybe it does, but the system does not expose it). The same goes for HLT instruction. I'll be more comfortable messing around with compiling on (even an older) Linux platform. Now that I've got a …
Re: is there a way to disable music only in dosbox?
Posted on 2024-05-24, 06:24
Set your game to use mpu401 / general midi, then tell dosbox to use a nonexistent midi device for the mpu401 emulation. On linux, this is easy as a dummy midi device is present in the alsa midi chain (actually the dumb passthrough device), and can be selected. (Has no device on the other end, so …

X=A000-FFFF excludes the entire UMA. While pedantic, that's a bit extreme, and would prohibit use of the mda monochrome display buffer at B000-B7FF for umb, which is usually pretty safe. I dont know how bad the csm is on that thinclient, but if it fails to provide a chunk of writable ram there, I …

I'd say that your thinclient uses shadowram. Or more accurately, it's predominantly uefi/efi oriented, and the csm gets copied into ram at f000, and may or may not get set read only. Jemmx probes, finds ram, but sees stuff written there. Makes a statement. I would treat such an arrangement like …

Looks like the Serial card and dongle are sold out on the Alibaba site. Anyone see them for sale anywhere else? On another note, I wonder if someone could come up with a 3d printed docking station which has all the full sized ports on the outside, and attaches flush to the back of the laptop to one …

F000-FFFF should 'always' be in use: It's where the system bios lives. Similar with C000-CC00, (sometimes CFFF) is the VGA bios. The regions that might be free would be D000-DFFF, and E000-EFFF. USB 'legacy keyboard and mouse support' handler, and any lan PXE bioses would live in that space though. …

In addition to the POP3 setup, you need to do the SMTP setup. It's different between email providers.

I understand that you are looking for a modern application that is able to connect and work with current email providers? This isn't going to be easy I believe. Other than perhaps, needing a newer version of TLS for handshaking, POP3/SMTP is POP3/SMTP. For this issue (Newer TLS), Eudora was (in) …

Are we supposed to be using "LH" when loading hdpmi and sbemu? I haven't been. That might be related to your issues? Also, did you set the right irq and dma for Doom using setup.exe? Quake and Wolfenstein just use your "Set Blaster" environment variable, but Doom does not. You also might try using …

I had some time to play around with the "HP T510 Thin Client". So I edited my CONFIG.SYS by adding "I=B000-B7FF" like this: DEVICE=JEMMEX.EXE X2MAX=8192 X=E000-EFFF I=B000-B7FF however the USB keyboard still moved on it's own in games. Next I edited my AUTOEXEC.BAT like this: JLOAD.EXE QPIEMU.DLL …

Re: OpenGL DirectX to software wrapper?

Well, the afore-mentioned swiftshader could run skyrim (OG PC version) on an old 5th gen I5, with 16gb of RAM. Poorly. I did it as a joke to see if it would do it. Sure enough, it could. I agree though, you would need at LEAST two cores to even ATTEMPT this with a classic era computer. One core JUST …

Re: Clever / hacky usage of the ISA modems?
Posted on 2024-05-07, 05:25
I was meaning more along the lines of data transmission mode fsk, not dtmf. The fact that it CAN do dtmf, means it can make 2 simultaneous tones. If it can make 3, we have enough to make chiptunes. It would probably require flashing a new firmware to the modem though...
Re: Clever / hacky usage of the ISA modems?
Posted on 2024-05-06, 15:43
That aside-- if you ask me, ABUSING a modem into acting like a soundcard, would be more interesting. More interesting still, would be abusing the FSK tone generators to produce chiptunes.
