Programming / Re: EDM/2 - The API Project - Undocumented
« on: May 14, 2025, 05:03:33 pm »
Hello

I had finally republished (Courtesy of IBM) this two books on the EDM/2 (in wiki format) :
- Presentation Manager Programming Guide and Reference
- Graphics Programming Interface (GPI) Guide and Reference

Maybe there is no much interest because we already have online sources or the INF files, but it was useful also to have more information on the "The OS/2 API Project" inside the wiki.

There had been also interesting to find the "undocumented" API functions and try to find whatever information about it.

These last days I had been using AI (Gemini and Grok) to help me out create the wiki layout in a faster way from the IPF source.
So, a quality check will be also useful if someone cares.

Regards

Thanks Dave

Here it is the full package again. I tested it and it works.
Now it looks better with the common SDL2 Mixer.
I updated the readme.os2 too.

Hello Dave

I cloned the repo here: https://github.com/OS2World/GAME-SDL-STRATEGY-Toppler

The patch command gave me an error with the .patch file, so I updated it by hand. I hope it is allright.

Thanks Dave.

It is working here. Music and fullscreen also works.

What do you think about this packaging to share it around?

Thanks Dave.

Just a question here. I checked the Toppler.exe with pmdll.exe and it reference "SDL2MIX0.dll".
Is that correct? because our SDL2Mixer is called "SDL2M200.dll" as far as I know.

Quote
[C:\HOME\MARTIN\DOWNLOADS\TOPPLER]toppler
SYS1804: The system cannot find the file SDL2MIX0.

If I grab our "SDL2M200.dll" and rename it to "SDL2MIX0.dll" I get:

[C:\HOME\MARTIN\DOWNLOADS\TOPPLER]toppler
SYS1059: The system cannot execute the specified program.

Thanks Dave for helping out.

I'm looking for the compiled data (since it uses gimp) and see if it can run. Can you share your compiled binaries?

Checking:
- https://gitlab.com/roever/toppler/uploads/06111021dffe64f3bd5f5a22c87e9426/toppler-windows-1.3-r2.zip
Will it be "toppler.dat" or the data files are being integrated with the .exe?

Hello

Can someone please help me to compile "Tower Topper" 1.3 to AcaOS ?
It uses SDL 2 now. (Dependencies: SDL2_mixer  (with ogg support if you want music), sdl2 and zlib)

Here it is the source code: https://gitlab.com/roever/toppler/

Here it is the old one, just in case: https://www.os2world.com/games/index.php/native-games/strategy/301-tower-toppler

I will like to understand better the makefile to see if I can do it by myself as an exercise.

Hello

I also agreed that Arca Noae should bring a developer to the scene to finally got a modern web browser on ArcaOS. Arca Noae is the only one with resources that can help with this, the rest of the community does not generate any incomes to be directly invest on the OS.

I applaud Paul's effort, but as he says, we need someone with understanding of the OS/2 API that can connect the webengine. Even if it is younger developer that does not knows OS/2, at least hire him permanently to learn the OS/2 API in a few months.

Arca Noae strategy at first was to support OS/2 on modern hardware, but it has to change and evolve to include key software development to help people use the OS for their everyday activities.

Hello Sigurd

Great video. 

Just to push the test a little bit further.

1)  Does the machine has Audio input? Maybe on the same speaker jack?
Maybe you can try it with "Digital Tape Recorder" to see if it record from an mic.  (Non USB).
1.1) If you have audio input, why don't test this Win32 (Odin) app (Spectrogram) to see if the Audio input works. I got this video playing with the app, but on a VM.

2) Do you want to try the Win-OS/2 Audio? Do you have access to the Arca Noae test site to try DTAudio? But this is experimental and maybe will make your system unstable.

Applications / Re: EXIFTool
« on: April 23, 2025, 11:16:10 pm »
Hello

Sorry to confuse more the issue.
Are there two things, the ExifTool Perl Module, and the ExifTool command line tool? Does both belong to the same project?

Because "EXIFtool_2-2.zip" (2005) is from Marcel Mueller and it is a .exe binary with it's source code.
ExifTool Perl Module (ExifTool_Perl_9-46.wpi) (2014) I have no idea how to use it.

Life got in the way for a bit, but I retried this over the weekend with the latest VirtualBox 7.1.8 but the situation is still the same. So I raised a ticket on the VirtualBox bug tracker.

Martin - Yes, just now, sorry for the delay. Here it is:  https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/22384

Good luck with it DavidR, the tickets look very good structured with all the required informaiton. I don't have any more ideas, but please post back if there is any progress.

« on: April 20, 2025, 05:38:22 pm »
Hi Paul
Done - https://smedley.id.au/tmp/uniaud32.sys contains:

I tried this one on real hardware, on the Thinkpad T14s. Audio 8086:02C8 (Intel Comet Lake PCH-LP cAVS).
It did not trap and it produce sound normally. Tested with the included .wav files. Volume control is also working.
It seems to be working fine for the moment.

Regards
