[12:41] *** JohnTalen has joined #jsmess [12:43] I'm getting the sneaky suspicioun the authors of both vice.js and v86 want you to contact them. no ./configure.in for vice.js and no windows images are loadable by v86. Next step is to see what it would take to emscripten the latest vice which was released last December. [12:45] s/are loadable/aren't loadable [12:46] and besides vice.js hasen't been touched in 4 years. [12:56] both projects are hacks without any documentation. [12:58] so at a start I'll be reviewing the http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/ project with v 2.3 released March 31st. [12:58] s/2.3/3.1 [12:59] with hopeful conversion to emscripten. [13:16] latest vice buggy under linux. attempting to compile to sdl instead of xaw. [13:20] SketchCow: If we did go vice.js we wouldn't be able to get updates from the latest vice. and vice.js is one file loaded with magic numbers, no history and no documentation. [13:27] I should say 'could even possibly manage to go' instead of 'go'. [13:32] if someone here could test v86 LOCALLY on their harddrive using debug.html with Windows 95 or Windows 98 under Windows and/or Mac. That'd be of help. I'm contemplating neighter will work as the http://copy.sh works fine for me under Linux. impedence mismatch. [13:32] compiling [13:38] compiled, works visibily at various windows sizes but no menu accessible. reading. [13:41] compiling w/ sdl 1.2 instead of 2. [13:43] that is so say I can emulate Windows 95 and Windows 98 using copy.sh but not locally via debug.html. other images work locally. btw I found out PAE isn't supported. [13:44] It'd be nice if we could use VirtualBox but it's a qt monster. [13:45] SketchCow: I'm going to need alternative for v86. I have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCem under the Comparison bullet. [13:47] JohnTalen: if you get Vice re-ported, you probably want to make the effort to get it running with SDL2. SDL1 with emscripten is more like a shim, SDL2 is the real thing. [13:48] Vito`: yes. It's more mature. I'm just trying 1.2. Same results no menus. They fixed a few bugs from december but created some new ones. i'll go back to sdl2 when I figure out the menu accessibility. [13:48] I'll give v86 a shot tonight if no-one else has gotten to it by then [13:49] Vito`: ok great! Big feel it'll lock up. there are differences from the site copy. i tried to wget the site but he has the sources protected. [13:52] great. [13:53] got it f-12 is menus. [13:53] switching to sdl2. [13:54] sweet. they changed the x11 menus to in house commodore 64 cbmscii. [14:09] well, the Moebius game image loads and runs. Looks like they added a stutter to scroll but at least no show stoppers. using sdl2. [14:09] sounds works too. [14:09] full screen was impossible in decemeber. so niiicce. [14:28] aparently vice.js appears to require you get v 2.4 and splice it into the project. [14:34] i'll attempt this today. [14:35] it's possible that vice.js as a separate project is no longer needed, if Vice itself cross-compiles fine [14:56] fixing some v2.4 bugs. compiling. then attempting splicing vice.js. [14:57] vice 2.4 afaik has sdl1 not sdl2 and no emscripten. [14:57] oh I mean to say vice 3.1 has sdl2 but no emscripten. [14:59] in short, i'll just reference any useful parts of vice.js. not many but wth. [15:43] ok i fixed a few bugs with 2.4 and running under Linux. Gonna take a break, test a few d64s then splice it with vice.js. [16:55] ok, the v86 source is officially not matching the images. Images are a one to one relationship with the code. I have to boot it from scratch. do any of you have a slipstreamed bootable windows 98 install cd? (w95 is nice too) [17:03] Vito`: You may not want to waste time with v86 unless you find it to be something fun and exciting! :) [17:27] bbl [17:28] *** JohnTalen has quit IRC (leaving) [19:33] *** JohnTalen has joined #jsmess [21:07] E: [21:09] E:\> _ [21:12] Ha. wrong window. [21:12] COMMAND NOT FOUND! :p [21:12] Bad command or file name. [21:21] Wow. The Universe doesn't want me to boot Windows. I blame the republic. [23:38] just need a cdrom accessible (as E:\) windows 95B boot disk image in ISO. anyone , anyone? [23:39] many book disks online in .EXE format. wine breaks, calls it an invalid EXE format. I haven't used windows since 2011. lol. should've kept all my old stuff.
