Aux2 Eyecandy

Posted on 2014-04-26, 19:15

I was hoping some of the DOS aficionados here might be able to help me dig up some more info on Aux2, eyecandy software from December 6, 1996. It's outputs beautiful animated images like these... http://eyecandyarchive.com/Aux2/screenshots/Aux21.thumb.jpg http://eyecandyarchive.com/Aux2/screenshots/ …

Yes, the crash does seem to be related to cycle speed. 20000 as suggested above was still too fast for me and still resulted in crashes. 10000 seemed to be OK to pass through the install successfully.

I'm not sure that page has changed much at all in the last ten years. No one seems to care enough to get it working properly. Hrm, OK, so I guess I'd be looking at running a Linux distro and running Wine within it then. Maybe ReactOS is the easier route, even with it's deficiencies. Though ReactOS …

Can anyone comment on Wine for Windows? The WineHQ wiki page here... http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOnWindows ...seems to indicate it has problems and I haven't found a quick guide to it's usage,

It still does not solve the 16-bit stuff on x64 problem. I was thinking of ReactOS for that. My current issues there seem to be... -Limited networking support, which makes getting content into ReactOS a pain, handled by burning/mounting ISO images at the moment. -General instability, I'm seeing …

I guess the other factor I'm probably interested in would be Windows screensaver support. I think ReactOS has such, but I'm unclear as things like DirectX come into play.

Free Windows Emulation

in Windows
As I work my way through the available MS-DOS eyecandy I realize I will likely want to provide similar support for early Windows eyecandy as I have for DOS. Since I can't legally distribute Windows, what are my best options for running Windows programs today? I currently have minimal knowledge on …

Thanks for the quick suggestions, but those aren't it. If I remember correctly, it had color cycling somewhat like 2ynesthesia, http://eyecandyarchive.com/2ynesthesia/, but had a wormhole pattern rather than those used by 2ynesthesia.

Finding a Wormhole Saver

I recall staring at a wormhole screensaver / effect ages ago. It produced an image similar to... http://www.lomont.org/Software/Graphics/WormHole/Wormhole.png ...but I want to say it ran in higher resolution, and that the hole was more offset from center. Can anyone help me recall / find what I'm …

Has anyone tried this out? Is it purely to support command-line text things? "MS-DOS Player for Win32-x64 (2014/04/08) is released. MS-DOS Player is MS-DOS emulator running on Win32-x64 command prompt. 16bit MS-DOS compatible commands can be executed on Win32-x64 environment." Japanese: http:// …

Re: Peculiar resolution problem

Use one of the Daum builds (i.e. with the settings menus). Set CPU to "Maximum Cycles", and turn on "Show Details" under Main. The number shown prior to the FPS is the number of CPU cycles you can emulate. If you want to set a specific number of cycles to emulate it needs to be below that number or …

Re: VGA Palette Conversion

Posted on 2014-03-18, 04:40

I think the problem that the poster has is that in grayscale you only have 64 increments given a 18b palette. Even in a full 24b palette, you still only have 256 shades of grey. What one needs to realize is that even 64 shades of grey is a lot, having played with just the 16 shades of grey you get …
