Games / BrowserQuest game on eCS
« on: 2012.04.03, 23:49:29 »
Hi

It seems that BrowserQuest is working fine.
I noticed that the browser crash I was experiencing in Firefox 9 when I run this games was because I forgot to disable "gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled"

Sorry for destroying the community productivity by sharing this  ;)

Hi

I had contacted Raymond Westwater the author of "Writing OS/2 device drivers" book. My original object was trying to release his book to the public, preferable under a license that allow derivative work, but it can not be possible now since the copyrights are controlled by the publisher.

But he told that his office used to have a product called "C language wrapper for device drivers" and that he is willing to turn it open source. The issue is that he does not have the files at hand.

"C language wrapper for device drivers" is C language code that wraps the calls to the device driver subsystem, and therefore eliminates the need to develop code in assembler to implement a device driver.

If anybody ever got the product "C language wrapper for device drivers" and can send over the files please let me know.

Thanks

Thanks Paul

I also had set C1=SDDGRADD on the config.sys. I will try reseting to VGA and installing gengradd again.

One question, when you reset to VGA (I guess with Alt-F1), the statement "DEVICE=C:\OS2\SDDHELP.SYS" got removed (and all SNAP related stuff). Did you added it again to the config.sys after installing gengradd?

Hi Paul.

How do I know which one I'm using?  On the C:\OS2\DLL I have both files sddgradd.dll and gengradd.dll

On the config.sys I have "DEVICE=C:\OS2\SDDHELP.SYS" is there something else missing from the SNAP driver?

Games / Angry Birds game and Firefox
« on: 2012.03.30, 19:24:52 »
Angry Birds seems to be running fine too.

The Chrome version is working fine with Firefox 8.0.1

But you can also try to beat me up on Google+ playing Angry Birds.
http://plus.google.com
and surf over games to find Angry Birds.

Games / Cut the Rope game on Firefox
« on: 2012.03.30, 18:53:02 »
Today I had been trying "Cut the Rope" game on Firefox.

http://www.cuttherope.ie/

I tried it under Firefox 8.0.1 and seems to work very smooth. I think it does not use flash.
Also, I tried it on Firefox 9 (un-official) and it crash the browser when trying to access the site.

-sorry for the IE publicity ;)

Here are some screenshots.

Hello Salvador

Good to see you around here. I was only pointing out this funny thing I found, thanks for clearing it out.

I was wondering how hard will be to port an open source icon-editor tool and gave it OS/2 icons support so it can be a replacement for the OS/2 close source icon editor?

Just a funny thing, there is another EasyPain 0.6.0 (2011/04) that was ported to OS2-eCS.

Both seems very similar, but have some differences. Here are some screenshots.

Thanks rudi

I'm also using the VBOX guest additions video driver:

  gendradd.dll
 vendor: Innotek
 rev: 5.01
 date:23 Jul 2007 15:39:39
 File Version 5.1.370
 File Description: VirtualBox GRADD (C) 2007 innotek GmbH


But the resolution included with "vboxmanage setextradata..." is not showing on the list.
I tried also to include 1440x900x32 and didn't show on the list also.

Any comments are welcome.

On the host run:

vboxmanage setextradata "Your VM name" "CustomVideoMode1" "1366x768x32"

Then try again to set the resolution in SNAP (or whatever video driver you use).

I already did that on the VM, but I still don't know what I'm missing on SNAP to make that resolution show up.

Once I run "vboxmanage setextradata..." on the host, does the resolution has to appear on the "Screen" options of the guest? or there had to be done something else?

Hi Ivan
In a nutshell - if the virtual video driver doesn't support it, you are not going to get it.

uhm.. in that case, Windows running as a guest can use that 1366x768 resolution without issues. 

If it is not possible to obtain this resolution I still think that is a limitation of the SNAP video driver (or any OS/2 video driver) instead of the Virtual Machine video. ...but this is only my guess.

Hardware / SNAP GAMODE on VirtualBox and 1366x768
« on: 2012.03.25, 17:25:50 »
Hi

I decided to start again the fight to try to get higher resolution on eCS 2.1 guest on a VirtualBox VM.
  • Host: Win 7 x64
  • Guest: eComStation 2.1 SMP (with SNAP installed)
  • VirtualBox: 4.1.10

My goal is to obtain a 1366x768 resolution on the eCS 2.1 VM.

I had tried from the Vbox command (from the host machine):
VBoxManage setextradata "<name of the VM>" CustomVideo1 "1366x768x32"

And later I started playing arround with GAMODE on the eCS 2.1 guest and the displays configuration, but I can not get a 1366x768.
I tried:
gamode add 1366 768 32
and I get:
Failed to add mode 1366 x 768 x 32!

Does anybody has more experience playing with SNAP gamode? Do you think I can get a 1366x768 resolution with the current SNAP driver?

Thanks.
