Vintage/retro/old computing and retro computer emulation and gaming Anonymous 07/01/2024 (Mon) 17:06:03 No. 15472
I mostly wanted to make this ask if there is a good internet database for old computer hardware. But also to genuinely know if you anons would ne intrested in this thread added on emulation too because that's one of the few experiences with older computers Do you also anons have any old or even retro to vintage computers?
I've been meaning to see what I can get out of 86Box. I installed Win95 in it the other week, but haven't messed with it since. I should see if I can play some of my old games: it will play SimCity 2000 (for best results, screen is in 256 color mode). However, I don't think it supports how I have Civ 2 ripped: CUE with ISO/FLAC (also as OGG because DOSBox). Why do all the detail-oriented autists troon out? 86Box is forked from a troon's life work, who apparently had a drama melt-down when someone *gasp* forked their open source project.Then there's Roger Wilson, who I have to call Sophie because we have always been at war with East Asia. Didn't Byuu troon out before an hero-ing, too?

WordStar 7, the last ever DOS version, is re-released for free https://archive.md/a4fQ4 >WordStar 7.0d was the last-ever DOS release of the classic word processor, and it still has admirers today. A notable enthusiast is Canadian SF writer Robert J Sawyer, who wrote the book that became the TV series Flashforward. >Thanks to his efforts you can now try out this pinnacle of pre-Windows PC programs for professional prose-smiths. Sawyer has taken the final release, packaged it up along with some useful tools — including DOS emulators for modern Windows – and shared the result. Now you, too, can revel in the sheer unbridled power of this powerful app. >Sawyer says: <The program has been a big part of my career – not only did I write all 25 of my novels and almost all of my short stories with it (a few date back to the typewriter era), I also in my earlier freelance days wrote hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles with WordStar. >The download is 680MB, but as well as the app itself, full documentation, and some tools to help translate WordStar documents to more modern formats, it also includes copies of two FOSS tools that will let you run this MS-DOS application on modern Windows: DOSbox-X and vDosPlus. Regular Register readers may recognize both from our story on how to run DOS on a 64-bit OS from last year. Sawyer also offers a handy command reference. You can download the entire package from here: https://archive.md/howuC And the reference is the PDF you see attached to this post.
>>15923 That sounds great, but what dedicated features does it have that other word processors/LaTeX don't?
