02:29 🔗 SketchCow Didn't dieeeee
02:48 🔗 bai SketchCow: yeah damn, glad you're ok
02:54 🔗 SketchCow What's our opinion on trying to run the MAME Mac stuff?
02:54 🔗 SketchCow Honestly, I think we need that build machine work done, boring as it is.
02:54 🔗 SketchCow So we can get things humming again.
02:56 🔗 bai I don't have much of an opinion when it comes to the mac stuff, you guys know more about the underlying problems there. I guess the mame one is nice because it supports color, but it's a bit slower for some things because it's more technically correct?
02:56 🔗 SketchCow That was my thought. Is it fast enough?
02:56 🔗 bai was it specifically the floppy performance which was slow
02:56 🔗 bai ?
02:57 🔗 SketchCow No, that's Apple II/Woz Interface
02:57 🔗 SketchCow My thought is just the most complicated machines are slower. I just don't think we've ever tried.
02:59 🔗 bai worth a shot, but yeah, I'm not sure where the build system left off, I think I was out in the wilderness when db48x got that started
04:18 🔗 DFJustin last time I tried mame mac in js it just straight up crashes if you pass it a hard drive image
04:19 🔗 DFJustin so that's the biggest obstacle

14:33 🔗 azakai has joined #jsmess
16:37 🔗 SketchCow Somebody made a VERY fast, VERY quick Hypercard in Javascript thing
16:46 🔗 SketchCow Called Hyqercard.
16:51 🔗 bai looks very japanese, from the search results
16:51 🔗 bai is there a page which has some info in english?
16:57 🔗 DFJustin according to http://hyqercard.hateblo.jp/entry/2017/06/20/103016 it's a clone that can make hypercard-like stacks but can't actually interpret hypercard files
17:45 🔗 zino I have a friend that wrote a hypercard interpreter in C since he had to port Myst to AmigaOS in a hurry. (Unhelpful here, but fun tidbit)
17:53 🔗 azakai has quit IRC (Quit: Ex-Chat)
17:53 🔗 azakai has joined #jsmess
18:37 🔗 SketchCow https://archive.org/details/mission-critical-dos
18:37 🔗 SketchCow Any thoughts on why this explodes
18:37 🔗 SketchCow I wonder if it's because the files are 1gb
18:37 🔗 bai GET https://ia801509.us.archive.org/cors_get.php?path=%2F0%2Fitems%2Fmission-critical-dos%2FMission%2520Critical.zip 417 (Expectation Failed)
18:37 🔗 bai that's a new one for me
18:38 🔗 SketchCow Found it.
18:38 🔗 SketchCow (Space in Filename)
18:38 🔗 bai ah hah, For example, the server may reject a request if its Content-Length is too large.
18:38 🔗 bai oh ok
18:39 🔗 SketchCow I hate this level of problem as much as everyone else.
18:44 🔗 SketchCow Ha ha, 1gb
18:44 🔗 SketchCow What hath god wrought
18:44 🔗 bai hey, it's mission critical, it must all be super important
18:45 🔗 bai I don't know if I remember this game
18:46 🔗 bai looks like it's from the fmv game phase we went through back then
19:00 🔗 SketchCow I'm screenshotting it now.
19:00 🔗 SketchCow Let's see if that works.
19:10 🔗 SketchCow I got it to work!
19:13 🔗 bai the fact that you can mount a 1gb file in your browser in js is a bit shocking :D
19:14 🔗 bai and then, you know, run an entire emulated dos machine on top of that
19:14 🔗 bai none of this should have been possible, we're using the internet at a level that should not be allowed
19:15 🔗 SketchCow We are obviously part of the problem.
19:15 🔗 SketchCow Gamergate, pop-up ads, malware, and Emulation
