Hi Martin, tried building it, make seems to get into a loop early on, one core at 100% and after a while the system locks up. Not sure how to proceed.
Thanks for giving it a try.

Hello

I'm guessing that shadow copied the image from an IDE hard drive to a SATA hard drive and is trying to run this SATA disk on the "Gigabyte G31M-ES2C" mainboard.

As long as I can see there is no "OS2AHCI.ADD" on the config.sys.

I think that, since OS/2 Warp 4.52 CD-ROM does not have support for SATA (Am I right here?), he will need to create the three boot diskettes and add "OS2AHCI.ADD" there.
Once he boots with the diskettes, he can add "OS2AHCI.ADD" on the C:\OS2\BOOT and add "BASEDEV=OS2AHCI.ADD" on the config.sys file of the hard drive.

I had never tried that. Will that work?

Regards

Hello Paul

Do you think you can please give it a try to port OpenTTD 14.1 or 15 beta?

Dave, sorry to abuse of your time.

Do you think this will compile on OS/2? It uses C++11 and SDL2.

It requires this freeware from Microsoft Pinball: https://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/uploads/static/downloads/3d_pinball_for_windows_space_cadet.exe

Hello TZhivkov, welcome to the forum.

I haven't used MAME in a log while.

There is this port for OS/2:
MAME 0.37 beta 14 (2001-10-04)
https://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/os2/apps/emulator/MAME_0-37b14.zip

and this front end, but it is for MAME for DOS:
MAMERun Beta 8a (2001-05-28)
https://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/os2/apps/emulator/MAMERun_Beta_8a.zip

Give those a try to see if you remember which one it was.

Regards

Hello

Just for your information, even that OpenOffice is open source, the OS/2 port binaries are offered for a donation value here:
- https://www.bitwiseworks.com/shop/index.php?id_product=33&controller=product&id_lang=1

It is good to support the people that port software to OS/2.

Hello TZhivkov, welcome the forum

Hello,
I need any free playable pinball native for OS/2

Sadly "Psyberball Pinball" never evolved from 1996.

Maybe we should try to find an open source SDL pinball game and see if it can be ported.

Hello

Just for the sake of trying to understand this tool I did:

- run "dr-agent.exe" and click once the "Collect info" button
- It runs for some minutes and created the file: C:\HOME\OS2DOCTOR\20250613-085625\crcdata.csv
- Run "os2doctor c:" to run the snapshot compare process (I guess). It run a batch process that ended in:
Quote
[c:\OS2]
c:\Home
c:\IBMCOM
c:\MPTNxxx
DosQueryFSInfo error: return code = 15
Success.

No idea what else to do. I don't know if there is a report that can show me the changes on the files to find the possible problem.


I found it generated an HTML report on the same directory where os2doctor.exe is running.  I guess now I know how it works. The report requires more work, but it is a good first try.

Eugene, if you need an English readme here it is something you can improve:

Code: [Select]
OS/2 Doctor
Version: 2025-04-06
Homepage: http://os2.guru/os2doctor
Author: eCo Software

=== Description ===

OS/2 Doctor is a collection of utilities aimed to test the integrity of OS/2. OS/2 Doctor consists in two components, the agent (dr-agent.exe) and the main utility (os2doctor.exe).

The idea is to take first an snapshot on your working system and later you can compare it with your future system with an HTML report this tool provides. This report will help troubleshoot any problems.

=== How to use: ===

1) Taking the Capsule (Snapshot):
On an OS/2 working system run "dr-agent.exe" and click once the "Collect info" button that will show up on the screen.

A procedure starts that will scan your hard drive files and collect the information on the C:\HOME\OS2DOCTOR directory.

For example: x:\HOME\OS2DOCTOR\20250613-085625\crcdata.csv

2) Analyzing Changes
If an problem occurs on your OS/2 system you can analyze the changes from the latest capsule (snapshot) with the following command.
  os2doctor.exe x:
Where x: is the drive to analyze.

It will start to compare the capsule (snapshot) with the current drive:

  â–“â–“â–“OS/2 Doctor, collect analysis about system / version: Q0405
 
   c:
   Found: 1 capsules (= savings, sessions)
   Going to compare current state with the latest one..
   Press any key to Start. Press Ctrl-Break to Exit

Press any key to start the scanning. You will see on the command line the scanning procedure.

Once the procedure is completed, a new directory will be created with the HTML report of the changes. For example:
    x:\....\Doctor-report-20250613-095322
Open "report.html" with the browser to see the report of changes in your system.

=== Restrictions ===

1) You can manually edit the list of capsules (snapshot) located in:
   x:\Home\OS2DOCTOR\os2doctor.list
Names should be longer than 8 characters.

=== License ===
Shareware. License cost: 500 rubles.


And here it what I posted on the OS2World wiki about it:

Hello

Today I found at eCSoft/2 a post about "OS/2 Doctor" (2025-04-06).

- https://ru.os2.guru/projects/doctor/
- https://en.os2.guru/projects/doctor/
- https://en.ecomstation.ru/projects/doctor/downloads/os2doctor-20250406.zip

I'm trying it but I don't know exactly what it does. Seems it creates a list on a CVS file on C:\HOME\OS2DOCTOR so you can later compare the with a different list if you have a problem in your system.

What do you think?

Regards

Hello Neil.

I see hobbes web server back and I can download files, but there are some dead link. I suspect the dead links are from the newer stuff, like BackEmUp or the latest xwp.  I don't know the exactly date of the backup that Nathan restored.

Regards

Update: I'm not completely right here, some newer uploaded files like "PALMTRIS_1-1_nl.zip" and "STAAF_1-2a_nl.zip" (Uploaded 025-05-21)  are downloading fine.

Hello Neil
Congrats on the new machine.

I think you have typo on your page.  The page says "Year introduced: 2018", but the model you have is from 2024.

In that case, do you think it will make sense to put Qt 6.2  on the Netlabs RPM?

It depends what the purpose/intent is. For getting an updated (but unstable) browser - then yes. If it's for compatibility with ported apps - I'm less sure. The DLL hell with 8.3 file names is real.....

I think it will be more the ported apps. I know that Qt6 is not mandatory today, but Tellie is starting to port some apps with Qt6 and I think we should be moving into that. But the idea is not to break the Qt5 things that are working. If Qt5 and Qt6 can not coexist that will be a stopper.

Martin,

What is your definition of mainstream?  An rpm in some pubic repository or something else?
Yes Steven, to publish Qt6 on Netlabs RPM.

Hello Paul

First, sorry for this shameless request from my side, like if it easy.This is just a suggestion and I want to ask your opinion.

Since Qt6 has some LTS releases , how do you see the idea of trying to port "Qt 6.5.9" which is supported to 2026-03-30 and try to stabilize it (as much as possible this release), until something happens to version 6.8 which seem being hard to make it work. Or do you think it will be better to focus on 6.8 which is also a LTS release supported to 2019?

I want to see if we can finally go mainstream with Qt6 and put it on the RPM repository.

Regards
