00:10 🔗 SketchCow Brewster asked me about the mute button on DOSBOX
00:10 🔗 SketchCow Like "how do I get sound"
00:10 🔗 SketchCow And I went "you get sound and that button has no effect"
00:10 🔗 SketchCow I was hoping he'd go "that should be fixed"
00:11 🔗 SketchCow so I could get "GIVE US ONE STINKING DEVELOPER"
01:00 🔗 naTmeg_ has joined #jsmess
01:00 🔗 naTmeg has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
01:23 🔗 naTmeg_ is now known as naTmeg
01:29 🔗 SketchCow jvilk: Thanks for that BrowserFS fix.
01:29 🔗 SketchCow Hey, naTmeg
01:29 🔗 SketchCow Glad to have you hanging around.
01:29 🔗 SketchCow (We have people hang around a lot in here.)
01:33 🔗 SketchCow I'm thinking of finally doing that thing of gathering up all the Windows Calculators.
02:53 🔗 naTmeg SketchCow: thanks. pretty tired now, need a rest. cya..
02:53 🔗 naTmeg has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
03:13 🔗 SketchCow Rough plan with amiga items
03:13 🔗 SketchCow - Wait to next week
03:13 🔗 SketchCow - Undark sets
03:13 🔗 SketchCow - Yank out screenshots
03:13 🔗 SketchCow - Dark again
03:13 🔗 SketchCow Download to do a quick "best of" (i.e. they look good, aren't repetitive)
03:13 🔗 SketchCow Upload the resulting crazytown shots
03:14 🔗 bai cool, so it'll keep all the same sorting and view stats and everything
03:14 🔗 SketchCow Oh, no. It'll be using a different method.
03:14 🔗 SketchCow But I can do something with it.
03:15 🔗 SketchCow Anyway, it'll be a nice thing
03:15 🔗 bai ah damn. I was using the number of views as a filter for "games people cared about" :D
03:23 🔗 SketchCow Nah
03:24 🔗 SketchCow Also, that's a very VERY poor metric
03:24 🔗 SketchCow You know, 4 day sample and many didn't work
03:24 🔗 SketchCow Bubble Bobble had most views and it didn't work!
03:26 🔗 bai heh true. but at least it's a vote of what people WANT to work

21:52 🔗 odie5533 Hi
21:52 🔗 bai hey odie5533
21:53 🔗 bai so I think for a windows item you need to set at least the following metadata fields:
21:53 🔗 bai emulator: dosbox
21:53 🔗 bai emulator_ext: zip
21:53 🔗 bai emulator_start: c:\windows.bat
21:54 🔗 bai wait hold on, scratch that
21:54 🔗 bai emulator: dosbox
21:54 🔗 bai emulator_ext: zip
21:55 🔗 bai emulator_start: d:\runapp <executablename>
21:55 🔗 bai dosbox_drive_d: <path to your app's zip>
21:56 🔗 bai oh no, not path to app, it's "emularity_win31/win31.zip"
21:56 🔗 bai (I think there might actually be some documentation on this somewhere but I'm just looking at how other items are set up)
21:57 🔗 odie5533 I checked another item too
21:57 🔗 odie5533 it just has d:\runapp <executable name>
21:57 🔗 odie5533 ah and the emularity thing yeah I missed that
21:57 🔗 odie5533 so the 4 entries
21:57 🔗 odie5533 I will give it a try
21:58 🔗 bai cool, lemme know how it works
21:58 🔗 odie5533 Sorta off-topic, but is there a way to set the default thumbnail to be the animated gif I made?
21:59 🔗 bai hmm, SketchCow would be the one to ask about that, I normally just let the automated screenshotter do its magic
22:01 🔗 odie5533 those 4 fields did it!
22:05 🔗 bai excellent. if you want it added to a collection I think sketchcow or whoever owns the collection can help with that
22:06 🔗 bai oh it looks like I might be able to add things to softwarelibrary_win3_showcase if it's a particularly nice example
22:08 🔗 odie5533 hah, nah. it's not worth showcasing
22:16 🔗 odie5533 bai: I was able to set the screenshot to the gif by changing the file's Format in the Metadata Editor to "Emulator Screenshot"
22:17 🔗 odie5533 which is an option in the drop-down
22:17 🔗 bai ah cool
22:34 🔗 DFJustin http://digitize.archiveteam.org/index.php/Making_Software_Emulate_on_IA
22:40 🔗 odie5533 Thanks for the link. It covers regular dos games as well which is good
23:28 🔗 SketchCow animated gifs are not thumbnails anymore
