13:32 🔗 SketchCow bai: Question
13:33 🔗 SketchCow So, we have this PCE emulator and we now have a networked game for it.
13:36 🔗 SketchCow I don't know what magic you did for making networking work, but I wanted to understand it.
15:03 🔗 db48x has joined #jsmess
15:25 🔗 SketchCow ops, please
15:45 🔗 SketchCow Frankly, getting x86 running would solve a billion things
15:46 🔗 Ravenloft has joined #jsmess
16:37 🔗 bai sets mode: +o SketchCow
16:39 🔗 bai SketchCow: hmm, I did a big writeup about the ppp stuff for the win3.11 thing, but my blog is down riggt now
16:40 🔗 bai basically it comes down to "wrap the network connection in a WebSocket and send it yo a server somrwhere"
16:40 🔗 SketchCow I keep forgetting
16:40 🔗 SketchCow We never did this at IA
16:40 🔗 bai right
16:40 🔗 SketchCow Like, it's not there, dormant
16:40 🔗 SketchCow That makes me happier
16:42 🔗 SketchCow So, I think the solution, in this case, is taking what you did to make networks work, and saying "Hey, everybody who wants BOLO to be network playable, put YOURSELVES into making that server setup"
16:42 🔗 SketchCow Make it bolorebooted.com, have a fucking blast
16:43 🔗 SketchCow That's off MY mind.
16:43 🔗 bai I could probably boil i down to a simple script or a debian package or something
16:43 🔗 SketchCow Up to you
16:43 🔗 SketchCow As you can imagine, I'm finding two types of people in the world
16:43 🔗 SketchCow "Oh, this is something wanted, I should help make it happen"
16:44 🔗 SketchCow "I want something, and like everything else in the world if I scream enough people will shove it into my fat face"
16:44 🔗 SketchCow BOLO seems second for the moment.
16:44 🔗 SketchCow I like when someone mails me with "I've done all this but this part of emularity or the archive's download script is confusing me"
16:45 🔗 SketchCow And then you give them the leg up and we're a better world
16:47 🔗 SketchCow I think VICE is nice but I don't need the commodore assholes breathing down our necks after good work
16:47 🔗 SketchCow So maybe x86 into emularity is a better choice.
