07:09 🔗 SketchCow He says he'll have time tomorrow.
07:09 🔗 SketchCow Keep an eye.
07:10 🔗 SketchCow Meanwhile, I'm taking another shot at getting Win95 working
07:14 🔗 SketchCow I have a w95.img
07:21 🔗 SketchCow I'm going to get it wrong
07:21 🔗 SketchCow But it'll be fun getting it wrong.
07:40 🔗 SketchCow https://archive.org/details/ridiculous_test_object
07:45 🔗 SketchCow I can get it to boot
07:45 🔗 SketchCow But it dies
07:45 🔗 SketchCow There's a list of dosbox.conf stuff. Let me remember how that works.
07:47 🔗 Vito` I tried with some preconfigured dosbox w95 setups and I couldn't get them running under em-dosbox, couldn't ever get the resolution and colors right
07:47 🔗 Vito` I'd really like to get that wine port working with a console win32 app I have, but I haven't had success with that either
07:49 🔗 SketchCow Well, I'm trying this one crazy set, we'll see
07:49 🔗 SketchCow I definitely got Windows 95 to boot just now, even though it exploded with a Protection error.
07:51 🔗 SketchCow I mean, either way, we're talking a 51mb payload
07:56 🔗 SketchCow Well, good news is I got it working.
07:59 🔗 SketchCow I just set it to autoboot.
08:04 🔗 SketchCow (in case it isn't working for you, it's:
08:04 🔗 SketchCow mount a d:\w95.img
08:04 🔗 SketchCow imgmount a d:\w95.img
08:04 🔗 SketchCow (the second one)
08:04 🔗 SketchCow then
08:05 🔗 SketchCow boot d:\w95.img
08:11 🔗 Vito` yeah I was able to get them to boot
08:11 🔗 Vito` but the colors and resolutions were all wrong and I couldn't figure out how to change them
08:11 🔗 Vito` so my apps wouldn't launch because it was like, 640x480x8 bit
08:14 🔗 SketchCow Well, 1. I got it to boot
08:14 🔗 SketchCow 2. I figured out how to make it run as fast as anything else
08:14 🔗 SketchCow 3. Yeah, I'm rocking 640x480x16 at the moment.
08:15 🔗 Vito` and then icculus ported the software I was trying to run anyway so I stopped
08:17 🔗 SketchCow So, it's definitely pounding svga_s3
08:23 🔗 SketchCow Rachel came by, I showed her Windows 95, she went "Ah." and went to bed
