Programming / A clock in WPS - Educational Project
« on: May 08, 2020, 01:22:17 am »
Hi

I still want to try to make my first WPS application. But I need to learn more on how to make an WPS app, so I guess my first step will be to set a goal.

My goal will be to create a WPClock clone called XWPClock as a child of WPAbstract (and not as a child of WPClock).

I'm thinking, as a first stage, to have some kind of application skeleton first. Like having the .IDL file of the XWPClock class and a initial GUI that can be compiled, but without the logic of a working app.

I just want to create the XWPClock class with three tabs and some controls (checkboxes, label, etc), but with no logic first. Like it is a mockup screen but in a DLL that can be registered on the WPS.

Will it be ok to use the Resource Editor (dlgedit.exe) to create the GUI? I see that Doodle Screen Saver uses it. Is there any other technique suggested for the GUI?

Hardware / List of OS/2 Tested/Reported Motherboards
« on: May 02, 2020, 05:27:42 pm »
Hi

I had updated the list of the OS/2 tested mainboards. Also including the ones that the OS4 kernel team tested.

You can visit it here: https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php/List_of_Motherboards

I'm always looking for new motherbaords to include, if you want to include them just post it here, you can also provide the pci.exe and lsusb reports to be able to poinpoint each component.

If the list grows I will be thinking on splitting the list on "post 2010" and "older" on a different list.

Setup & Installation / ArcaOS Install Error. USB3? UEFI?
« on: April 16, 2020, 12:23:16 am »
Hi

I just want to know which error does ArcaOS 5.0.4 gives you when you try to install on an unsupported system like USB 3.x or UEFI.

I'm guessing that the attached image is the error, or the "dead point" that you are supposed to get when you try to install ArcaOS from an USB flashdrive on an USB 3.x port. Am I right?

What should the error be on an UEFI system (without compatibility mode) ?

Games / Java Games
« on: April 09, 2020, 02:55:11 am »
Hi

Going on with the idea of updating the Gaming site, I want to check the Java Games.

I have the issue that some games where applets running on the browser (that used to have a Java plugin). Today we don't have that support anymore and I don't know if someone knows some technique to run those with java.exe in some way.

For example this 1999 Breakout game.  I want to try to include a .cmd files on those games to make it easier to run for the OS/2 users.

Games / Quarantine Gaming !! - Dev/Port Help
« on: March 31, 2020, 04:03:50 pm »
Hi

I'm on my third week of quarantine here in Ecuador (I'm in Quito, not Guayaquil).  These days I'm taking some time to update the OS2World Gaming Site. I'm checking dead link and some layout improvements.

For the moment I'm checking one by one the native games and I had completed the Sports, Strategy, Other, Packs categories.

Let me know any suggestions, dead link or improvements.

If it can be possible I need the help of a developer to help me updating/compiling some of the already available games to update the libraries dependencies.
- For example "Alizarin Tetris" uses LIBC06R1.DLL which is not communally distributed on RPM, so it can be great if it can be recompiled with the latest LIBC.

Hi

I just created this page while I was bored and looking around for the updated OS/2 installer images.

https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php/OS/2_Updated/Modified_Installation_Diskettes

I don't know if some OS/2 2.x updated installed diskettes where ever released.
If you know any other updated diskettes that were ever available let me know.

Hardware / USBMOS: AN USB driver package version 12.04 released
« on: March 22, 2020, 02:50:50 am »
Hi

About the news, and even that a new USBMSD driver is an important milestone, I found interesting the "A new USBMOS driver for Moschip based USB to ethernet adapters."

I want to give it a try and understand which USB Ethernet adapters are now working, as a difference from the old USBEther driver we had.

Please let me know any report of USB Ethernet adapter (with HardwareID preferable) to be includes on the OS2World wiki.

Applications / [RESOLVED] VoiceType on ArcaOS ?
« on: March 11, 2020, 05:08:58 pm »
Hi

VoiceType was removed from OS/2 Warp 4 since the convenience packs (4.51). I think that long time ago (very long time ago) someone about installing VoiceType on Warp 4.5x or maybe eComStation. I  really don't remember if that happen or if I dream it. Anyways, I didn't even cared at that time.

Today, I don't know why I want to experiment if the old Warp 4 VoiceType can be installed in some way in ArcaOS. Just as a nice experiment, complete AS IS as un-supported on a experimental VM.

If someone has some tips or links, please let me know.

Off Topic discussions / winevdm - Running 16 bit Windows
« on: March 05, 2020, 08:05:19 pm »
Hi

As an off-topic thing,  today I found this article about "Running 16 bit Windows applications on 64 bit Windows" (By the way it says "OS/2 is always cool") on OSNews about winevdm. It is an open source mix between "MAME’s i386 emulation and the 16 bit part of wine."

Even that we have the Win16 thing covered with OS/2, it is kind of interesting to see how to produce similar results with different techniques.

Applications / DOS VDM and Win-OS2 Fans ?
« on: March 04, 2020, 04:05:49 pm »
Hi

I don't use DOS VDM (Wikipedia calls it OS/2 MVDM) and Win-OS2 everyday but I understand that there are people that use this everyday for their favorite apps.  I would like to get more information about it and possible document something on the OS2World wiki.

Please fell free to try to answer some of this questions:
- How do you "tune up" your DOS VDM and Win-OS2 sessions  ?
- Are there any "must have" tools that you like to have on the DOS VDM and Win-OS2 sessions? Tools that you always like to install there when you get an plain OS/2-ArcaOS install? .
- Are there any documentation about DOS VDM and Win-OS2 around that you like that may be good to link or even update?

Any related feedback is welcome.

Regards

Games / DTA (DTAudio) and DOS Sound Blaster audio
« on: February 17, 2020, 03:39:57 am »
Hi

We discussed sometime ago about using ArcaOS for DOS retro-gaming and we run into the difficulty that mostly all the DOS games uses sound blaster for audio support. DTA (DTAudio), even that provides audio on DOS VDM and Win-OS2, is missing some Sound Blaster kind of emulator driver that may allow to bridge the DOS sound blaster with DTAudio.

I asked around the DOS community to see if there is something that can be reused to possible help us, like a sound blaster open source driver.

I was pointed to this page and these two files:
- dos-virtual-sound-blaster--vsb-src.zip, dos-virtual-soundblaster--vsb202.zip
VSB is a Visual Sound Blaster tool which source code seems to be available.

I'm not sure if this asset can be useful for the goal to have DOS Sound blaster support on ArcaOS. Currently VSB as it is, is not working on DOS VDM sessions for me.

Hi

I had been trying to move forward with some of the "OS/2 API Documentation Project" on the EDM/2. I had been trying to complete the "Presentation Device Driver Reference" documentation, but I found this two functions which I can not find specific documentation or details:
- GreSetCursor
- GreRealizeString‏‎

If someone can help me with documentation or at lease recreate the documentation based on what they know, it will be great.
The idea is to document those functions like.. for example... GreArc. To have the page with the same structure, like a description, syntax, parameters, etc.

Applications / Unofficial VBox Additions - vbxgradd.dll
« on: February 07, 2020, 05:00:26 pm »
Hi Valerius

I'm experiencing an issue with your Vbox vbxgradd.dll video GRADD.

When the pointer change it icon on some parts of the desktop, the image get "partially freeze" and I need to do a fresh, like "maximize the window" to restore the normal looks. I hope the attachments explains my issue in a better way.

If I change the driver to Panorama I don't get this issue anymore.
