03:22 🔗 SketchCow He's energetic. I appreciate that.
15:21 🔗 JohnTalen has joined #jsmess
15:22 🔗 JohnTalen Possible problem emulating the 8259 PIC on my local machine for v86. Looking into it further.
15:41 🔗 JohnTalen it's apparent the downloadable v86 and the one on the site is completely different.
16:15 🔗 JohnTalen It's in the restorative process of both Windows images. Other images work fine.
17:15 🔗 SketchCow Excellent.
17:15 🔗 SketchCow So, JohnTalen
17:16 🔗 SketchCow devesine_: First did the painful porting attempt with what became JSMESS. Now retired.
17:16 🔗 SketchCow Vito`: Did even more painful porting and specifically making compiling flexible. Now retired.
17:16 🔗 SketchCow DFJustin: Has been overseeing things since the beginning, heavily connected to MAME and does lots of great work
17:16 🔗 SketchCow bai: Does a lot of work on the project from every angle
17:17 🔗 SketchCow jvilk_: Wrote the filesystem in javascript system we use, just jumps in in emergencies or updates
17:17 🔗 SketchCow SketchCow: Some asshole
17:17 🔗 SketchCow Everyone else has stuff they're helping with. A few are just observers.
17:18 🔗 SketchCow db48x: Doing the Emularity, and a ton of other works
17:19 🔗 db48x has joined #jsmess
17:27 🔗 Vito` SketchCow: is there any movement on vlc.js lately? I just ripped some Quicktime Cinepak files from a NASA CD from 2001 that it'd be neat to stream without re-encoding
17:28 🔗 Vito` Can't play them on modern Quicktime
17:28 🔗 bai yeah actually j-b messaged me the other day, they're doing a week long hackathon next week to get it working
17:28 🔗 Vito` hot damn
17:29 🔗 bai they bid on the wrong horse when they decided to prioritize the PNaCl build, heh
17:31 🔗 Vito` haha
17:40 🔗 SketchCow I was JUST going to add this
17:40 🔗 SketchCow But I didn't know about the hackathon
17:40 🔗 SketchCow Regardless, my position was:
17:40 🔗 SketchCow ... they see the future
17:40 🔗 SketchCow ... it's just when they can join it
17:43 🔗 SketchCow So help them, but it's them
17:46 🔗 bai yeah, I told them Id make myself available during that time, and we could pull in whoever else (meaning azakai) as they had questions
18:33 🔗 Rai-chan has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 268 seconds)
18:38 🔗 JohnTalen has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
18:39 🔗 john__ has joined #jsmess
18:43 🔗 Rai-chan has joined #jsmess
18:48 🔗 john__ SketchCow: did you have any other emulators besides v86 you would want to use?
18:49 🔗 john__ is now known as JohnTalen
18:49 🔗 SketchCow vice.js
18:50 🔗 SketchCow Those are the two big missing ones that I think are of high enough quality to use.
18:54 🔗 JohnTalen okay thanks.
18:56 🔗 SketchCow v86 is way more important.
18:59 🔗 JohnTalen are there specific app images you wanted for both those emulators?
19:03 🔗 db48x has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
19:04 🔗 JohnTalen SketchCow: thank you for the intros.
19:06 🔗 JohnTalen SketchCow: what did you specifically want done with vice.js?
19:07 🔗 SketchCow Integration into the emularity
19:08 🔗 JohnTalen ok
19:10 🔗 bai welcome to the collective. you will soon be emulated.
19:15 🔗 JohnTalen BORG=Business ORGanization.
20:14 🔗 db48x has joined #jsmess
20:14 🔗 * db48x shakes a fist a comcast
21:27 🔗 JohnTalen are there going to be bootable win95 install or general image disks on archive.org?
21:27 🔗 JohnTalen meaning, downloable images...
21:32 🔗 db48x JohnTalen: in general there could be anything
21:33 🔗 db48x JohnTalen: but if you take a look at https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_win3_showcase you'll see how we intend to set things up
21:34 🔗 db48x the metadata tells the emularity to load both the current item and a specific windows 3.1 disk, mounting one as the C: drive and the other as d:
21:34 🔗 db48x D:
21:35 🔗 db48x we then run a batch file that starts windows and then the application, but that part's not really relevant to anything other than windows 3.1
21:39 🔗 JohnTalen Yes, I noticed that 2 hours ago when I tried the win95 demo disk for windows 3.1. nicely done!
21:40 🔗 db48x thank you :)
21:41 🔗 JohnTalen yw! :)
21:41 🔗 db48x for v86 it could also be a linux boot image and some linux program, or a bsd boot image plus..., etc
21:42 🔗 db48x we'll even happily let people boot up the installers, even though it won't be super useful for them
21:46 🔗 JohnTalen gonna have to get windows at some point. linux tools are very much lacking when it comes to optical drives, in fact it's downright hissed upon.
21:54 🔗 db48x oh? what are you doing with your optical drive?
21:55 🔗 JohnTalen brilliant, microsoft's windows 10 pages are severly broken.
21:56 🔗 JohnTalen well, i want to make windows 95/98/(etc al.) images. need to make boot disks too. linux has mkisofs...that's about it.
21:57 🔗 db48x ah
21:57 🔗 db48x there are probably images you can download from archive.org
21:59 🔗 JohnTalen yeah, that was my earlier question.
22:02 🔗 JohnTalen making isos are easy. making them bootable. well. that's arcane art not tied to any search engine web pages.
22:03 🔗 JohnTalen linux for linux. easy.
22:03 🔗 DFJustin https://archive.org/details/MicrosoftWindows9500004404Microsoft1995
22:04 🔗 JohnTalen DFJustin: thanks.
22:04 🔗 JohnTalen nice.
22:04 🔗 JohnTalen do i need a key for it?
22:05 🔗 DFJustin probably
22:05 🔗 JohnTalen well, even to see if it gets into gfx mode is a plus.
22:06 🔗 db48x JohnTalen: oooh, I misunderstood your earlier question :D
22:06 🔗 JohnTalen current images are questionable at best. they are at-desktop burns.
22:07 🔗 JohnTalen db48x: :)
22:14 🔗 DFJustin here's a boot disk if you need one https://archive.org/download/MAME_0.185_Software_List_ROMs_non-merged/MAME_0.185_Software_List_ROMs_non-merged.zip/MAME%200.185%20Software%20List%20ROMs%20%28non-merged%29%2Fibm5170%2Fwin95b.zip
22:16 🔗 JohnTalen thank you.
22:17 🔗 JohnTalen prolly won't be useful as i've already used a boot disk for 95. what i was looking for was a bootable cd.
22:19 🔗 DFJustin probably doesn't exist since win95 era pcs couldn't boot from cd
22:22 🔗 Vito` probably explains why my Win98 CD here also includes a boot floppy
22:38 🔗 JohnTalen hm perhaps slip streaming was only partial to w98. it's been a while.
22:43 🔗 JohnTalen has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
