Games / Re: Dosbox and Dosbox-X
« Last post by Mentore on Today at 08:50:08 am »
I have built a new Dosbox package from the newest Dosbox source code.
I also built a package for Dosbox-X for OS/2! I couldn't test every feature, but most things should work.

You find both packages here: https://joschs-robotics.de/dosbox/dosbox.html.

Have fun.

That's great news, Jochen!
I remember I gave a try at Dosbox-x but eventually had to give up because of too little spare time.
I'm trying to get back at my VM to complete and test some ports before releasing them.

Keep fingers crossed 8)

Applications / LibreCAD
« Last post by Michael on Today at 08:30:53 am »
Many thanks to Elbert Pol for some great ports of software to OS/2.

I have two questions about LibreCAD:

In the new version, a command line window appears when starting. This was not the case with older ports. Is there a way to disable this?

As with all LibreCAD versions, panels can no longer be docked once they have been undocked. Is there a way to dock again?

Greetings/2

I've switched over to just using QEMU installed from homebrew now but do let me know how things work out for you.

Thank you for the UTM config file! I will try getting this setup asap. :)

And thanks for link to the 86box alternative method, which I'll try as a backup of the UTM config does not work for me.

Networking / Re: Changing from DHCP to Static IP leads to TRAP

Thanks Andi and Pete.

I also see that the legacy Java method to edit the network configuration has a checkbox for, "use previous DHCP on reboot" which I have unchecked so that if an IP is in use it will request a new one.

Thanks Dave. It was my mistake, I was thinking that the .exe and /data were supposed to be in the same directory as the older port.

The game works, and sounds fine.  Like you said, fullscreen with alt+Enter traps the program.

Do you think the .exe can be modified to find the data on ./data instead of ../data?
Just to make it easier for the user to unzip and run the exe. If it is not possible, that's ok.

Hello Doug

I have this page about OS/2 and the Mainframe:
- https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=OS/2_and_the_Mainframe

I'm linking these videos, it was kind of cool to see a more extended video about "Support Elements" (https://youtu.be/MldoPkd349M?t=421)

Is all the data there? I had to add a bunch to the git repository.
Here's the full install which seems to work here. Note the bin and data directory.
