It's also why I like MS-DOS Player for Win32/Win64 so you can run all of the commands on the native CLI as well.. But if it was back then, OS/2 was the way to go!

If you had source & time 1.0 was neat although it's more so disappointing that even a brand new $6,000 PS/2 Model 60 can't run it, as you need to upgrade the RAM.

I'm glad you liked it! It's such a small change to the engine, with such a dramatic impact! I've found it great fun for just playing around with, it really changes things, and makes the harder levels all that more frantic! The slide from 3.14 to 3.00 is linear, I might try to make it logarithmic to it's more of a subtle slide into hell.

bossa nova in the background?

I put the play list in the description! It’s from the CZcams library they sounded pretty good to me!

Yeah. It's not as exciting as it sounds. But it absolutely works! czcams.com/video/ZiT1lvXqUrQ/video.html

Compiling your kernel was not a rite of passage, but a necessity! memory was expensive, so you wanted to remove as much stuff as you didn't need/want. Not to mention device driver conflicts! It was not uncommon to not be able to boot a default kernel, and instead ask a friend to build you a custom kernel. I made so many for friend & people at school back in the day!

What'll really blow your socks off is FOOTBALL/PIGSKIN which are OS/2 betas from 1987 that have v86 mode! Don't forget that Windows/386 also is from 1987. One really has to wonder, like the 'hidden' Xenix email systems they had just how ahead was Microsoft with the 386/32bit curve? The OS/2 subsystem runs MSSQL 1.0 very well too I might add! Which reminds me the WLO (Windows Libraries for OS/2) shipped as part of the graphical admin tool for SQL, as it's a friendly Windows 3.0 application.

Hi! Had a kitchen issue couldn’t make it

A streaming ? I don't understand what thing you couldn't made.

@@asanjuas the premier thing. but you know what it may be just as well to stream the nonsense im doing

@@neozeed8139 don't worry that's not a non se se even change the boot sector to print Booting... That is a things with a sense.

Linus is far too boring. And uninteresting.

@@neozeed8139 I'm thinking of finding the Windows NT 4.0 source code and changing the kernel and compiling it to axp64, but it will be difficult

@@DimaIdiHafig6556 it’s not hard to find it’s on GitHub of all places . Good luck!

No, it isn't supported on this machine. I've done this on later G4's and G5's

A computer language that just turned 60 years old a few days ago. It used to be everywhere 30 years ago, made popular with the 8bit micro computers of the 70s/80s and was a vestige part of DOS in Windows 95/98/Me/NT.

It's from here: bunsen.itch.io/raytrace-movie-atari-8bit-by-d-scott-williamson

I'd formatted a blank disk from dos 4, and 5. I suspect you used DOS 6? Its very specific about the file order, io.sys, msdos.sys must be put down in that order as they have to appear first and contiguous.

@@neozeed8139 I used format from DOS 5 and copied files in the same order as you did. Could the difference be in the initial pre-format state of the disk image? Mine was created using VirtualBox rather than QEMU.

@@joshuasmith8119 Ive built it on Qemu, DosBOX & a physical machine... I'm not sure as I just did run format with no options. I tried to put something together here to mess around with but it stalls on javascript dosbox for some reason.. . archive.org/details/vmdos-4

Update: I managed to get a bootable DOS 4 floppy by using SETVER so that I could run the DOS 4 version of FORMAT A: /S (while still in DOS 5).

I'M IN!!!! Saw a random post about live with same error saying Windows updates waiting was causing it for them. Thought surely its not that even though the VM had some waiting. Did the updates or restart and then it let me in. I need to do a full guide for this as its been annoying me all day.

@TheStevenWhiting Great! Sorry id been sick tonight, I just got up but glad to see you got it! It seems things have drifted a bit since I last did this. Good job!!!

i recall the users are just allowed so login as anything. just remember the password! lol

@@neozeed8139 Not really clear. I've run the game. Got to the LOG IN bit and nothing is accepted. Just get Connecting to the Login Server and it never does, no matter what details you put in.

@@TheStevenWhiting not even admin/admin ? I'd have to re-install it's been like nearly a year, and I hadn't really used it in much longer.

@@neozeed8139 No, nothing. Installed the game, installed the SMGEmu Launchpad, which turns out requires "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update" the x86 version. Then run the luncher, point it to the Galaxies install, then tell it where to install the SWGEmu Launchpad. Change the settings. Under Login Servers add the 127.0.0.1 and port 10000 from what we set and launch the game. Get to the login part and can't get past that. Nothing is in that database we setup earlier in the vid so doesn't that mean there aren't any accounts to login to but no way in game of creating one.

No, wslv1 lets you use the host machines sockets directly. With v2 you’d need a bridge and the MySQL would have to reflect the win 10 host Ip of the bridge. I did this with wslv1 in mind to keep it all simple

I didn't make one for that part? I might have before, I forget. Connecting to yourself or local lan is easy its going online will be the harder part, as the galaxy address has to match an address you can reach outside if its to be on the internet. Id recommend something like Hamachi to make a walled garden IMHO instead of being on the internet these days. test if you can connect, you can always re-move mysql/the starwars wsl, and re-install changing stuff. it gets easier once you get more familiar with it.

They would have to match. I’d suggest changing as little as possible first to just walk it through the more things you change the harder it’ll be to see what is going on. Get familiar with it then change it all around as needed

that 'starwars' directory is in the user's home directory, it's not on the top level of c:\ . @02:58 is where the c:\starwars is created and imported to. The linux filesystem doesn't map 1:1 to the Windows filesystem, they wanted to keep them in separate places, otherwise you'd have tonnes of directories all in c:\ to clutter things. I'd just say watch it once, and try step by step...?

@@neozeed8139 Restarted and created that starwars directory and imported into there and edited that file. However, when you start up the linux, on both occasions (I'm using snapshots on VMWare for when it goes wrong)both times it starts the user in the c/windows/system32 directory. Discovery you then have to go cd ~ To get to the home user directory.

I dont see the message but got an alert about connecting to mysql. Its probably set your WSL to v2? wsl --set-version starwars 1 should set it back to v1 which integrates directly into Windows

more like inspired InfoZip into existence. I frequently have to use this 'trick' when dealing with github sources & dos projects.

@@neozeed8139 I'm too old to *remember* which product came first which such a feature, I looked up Phil (not the Winzip company) when i saw somebody using WinRAR earlier this week - with the age old trial period of 30 days ...... I admit I should have seen you invoked Info-ZIP at the prompt, hearing you say "this is basically pkzip" :)

I built it some 30 minutes after release but I got tipped off ! I have always been fascinated with secret tech stuff like Mach so I’d spent so many hours trying to find and build stuff! You get better at it with time!

Bonus random thought: It'd be wild if someone forked the code and created a "lite" version that used less memory. They could call it DOS 3.3. 😆

@@zoomosis It can certainly help for glancing at compatibility as DOS4 was the basis of OS/2 2.x

I believe Dosshell was not included until DOS 5.

@@SlideRSB It was definitely included with DOS 4.

Shell was in 4, it appears to have been all from IBM, or it’s not part of this BAK, or binary adaptation kit that was released. Kind of a shame

i guess as more and more people have capable machines it' defaults stuff to v2. Very interesting! Although I'm glad you got it going!

And here I thought it was too slow and too boring! I wanted to move quickly through an install and get some stuff working instead of the usual 'here is the control panel', here is a command prompt...

Kind of?! The SQL Admin tool runs both on Windows & OS/2. I've found certain medium memory model stuff compiled by QuickC for Windows actually just work. I need to try some more stuff, as a follow up, but there is a lot more potential integration going on. SimCity/Earth however do NOT work.

the release version works fine, as does MS 1.21 ... the betas are in some weird territory.. Like the Citrix Multiuser 2.0 I guess I need to re-try them all !

It'd probably be on the PS/2's as they abstract through the ABIOS, but I haven't tried as it's just far easier to mount the hard disk and copy files directly in.

@@neozeed8139i was thinking on real hardware. I don't know if this prerelease work actually with the driver for the final version of os/2 2.0/2.1

@@asanjuas Oh this definitely will not work with anything from the release, the exe format changed along with device drivers. There is only one IFS, the HPFS.IFS so I can pretty much say there is no CD-ROM support.

@@neozeed8139 as always i think if this were not supported even os/2 was abandoned is hard to day even Odín/32 IS abandoned today.

doesnt work. it's the exact same thing where the moment ntoskrnl takes over it makes some call that it never comes back from.

I ran this build on a physical computer, nowhere else@@neozeed8139

I'd always though the 30's were all 286 AT machines (complete with 16bit ISA bus), but it turns out they made XT class model 30's as well! How confusing to give them both the same model number!! We had a lab full of them in college they weren't bad for what they were, just sad they had no real upgrade path, the weird hard disks never became popular so they were very un-upgradable. But they did run OS/2 1.x just great if you put 4mb of ram in them!

Figured it out. I was using wsl 2. When I went to wsl 1, it worked perfectly. Thanks for this video!

in wsl 2 the files are under the ubuntu directory on the bottom. in C they just show up as a mountable disk. I just got mine installed but how do I now log in from the game? I'm at the login screen but whats the user/pass? lol@@nkcm

@@earlyendgame341 itll create the account from what I remember so try anything?
