OldCoderSee the attached screenshot. This is Microsoft <a class="hashtag" href="https://dansu.org/tag/word" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Word</a> 5.5 for <a class="hashtag" href="https://dansu.org/tag/dos" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DOS</a> running in <a class="hashtag" href="https://dansu.org/tag/dosbox" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DOSBox</a> 0.74-3. For the moment, the installer can be obtained from: <a href="https://archive.org/download/msword5.5/Wd55_ben.exe" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://archive.org/download/msword5.5/Wd55_ben.exe</a> To install, run "Wd55_ben.exe" and then "SETUP.EXE" [which the first EXE should create]. "Wd55_ben.exe" has a glitch where it's apparently supposed to restore a directory structure, but fails to do so. The result is roughly a dozen messages similar to the following: Warning: HPDJ.PR$ already exists. Overwrite (y/n) ? However, when "SETUP.EXE" is done, you should have the working program shown in the screenshot. The screenshot indicates that the program supports images. However, not, it appears, JPEG files. You might need to convert JPEG files to Postscript to use them in this setup.

SheridanI gave Windows 3.11 a dark mode.

SheridanGot Windows 3.11 running in DOSBox-X by following this guide: <a href="https://dosbox-x.com/wiki/#Guide:Installing-Windows-3.1x" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://dosbox-x.com/wiki/#Guide:Installing-Windows-3.1x</a>I was able to get MIDI playback working so I can bop it to CANYON.MID like it's 1993. Last night I never could get MIDI playback working in UTM/QEMU in Windows 3.11. If MIDI playback in Windows 3x is important to you, maybe try DOSBox or DOSBox-X instead.<a href="https://mas.to/tags/DOSBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DOSBox</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/DOSBox_x" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DOSBox_x</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#windows</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/windows3x" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#windows3x</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retro</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/emulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emulation</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/midi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#midi</a>

Tim ChaseThanks to the urging of his AP Human Geography class studies, I just introduced the 15yo to classic <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SimCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SimCity</a> in <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/DosBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DosBox</a>. He was 100% hooked, nurturing his growing town into a city, excited when he learned he could start to build ports and boats and bridges to new places.Full-screened those VGA graphics (and the DOS-prompt upon exit) and it took me right back my first time playing it, being similarly sucked into my little sim world. 🥰

The Last Psion | AlexSomeone asked me some questions on the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Psion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Psion</a> Series 3, so I thought I'd post my response here in case anyone else is interested. <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/LongRead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LongRead</a> <h1>Emulator</h1>You've got two options. The first is the original "emulators" written by Psion, <code>S3AEMUL.EXE</code> and <code>S3CEMUL.EXE</code>. They both run in DOS and emulate the 3a and 3c. But they're less of an emulator than a runtime environment for <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/EPOC16" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EPOC16</a> (the OS). There's good and bad to this. You can run <code>S3AEMUL</code> and <code>S3CEMUL</code> straight in <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/DOSBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DOSBox</a> and it will talk to your host OS's filesystem (Windows, Linux, macOS, whatever). You need to map an M: drive in DOSBox for the internal storage, but once that's done you can copy files straight into that folder on your host OS and run them in the emulators. The downside is that it's not true hardware emulation. You won't get a good judge of the speed of a real device, and some syscalls aren't implemented so will fail or crash the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/emulator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emulator</a>. They're bundled with the SDK (see below).The alternative is <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MAME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MAME</a>. This is the closest to proper hardware emulation you're going to find. You can either dump your own ROMs using a tool called <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/EDisAsm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EDisAsm</a>, or you can find them in the usual MAME ROM repos. The one thing that is notably missing is RS232 emulation from the later models, because we haven't been able to find any documentation on the silicon, but it's working fine with the 3a.<h1>Toolchain</h1>At the moment you have only one option - the Psion SIBO C SDK with the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TopSpeed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TopSpeed</a> C Compiler. You're going to need DOSBox (I personally prefer DOSBox Staging). It's all available on the Internet Archive in one easy download, including all the documentation you will need.<a href="https://archive.org/details/psion-sibo-c-sdk" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/psion-sibo-c-sdk</a>From there, you have a few libraries you can use. There CLIB, which is a pure ANSI C implementation, designed to easily port apps - don't use it, it's slow and you'll be missing a lot of features. Then there's PLIB, which is Psion's C dialect - very nice to use, and you can put together a C app pretty quickly. Finally, there's OLIB, which is Psion's proprietary OO C - it feels very clunky, but once you get over that it can be very powerful.EPOC16 apps are restricted to a very pure version of the small memory model, but you can split code up into libraries known as DYLs.In the past I've written code using VS Code, which can be made to play nicely with the SDK's header files. I've not got it working with NeoVim and clangd yet, but it should be possible with cmake.The SDK comes with a debugger (<code>SDBG.EXE</code>), a DOS GUI app. If you run <code>SDBG.EXE</code> in DOSBox Staging, run the <code>Psion3a</code> MAME emulation, and enable RS232 over TCP on both, you can use <code>SDBG</code> to send apps to MAME. If you enable symbols, you can step through the code. It's rudimentary by modern standards, but it works pretty well.I say "at the moment" because I'm slowly rewriting the tools in the SDK. I already have a new working version of <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CTRAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CTRAN</a>, the preprocessor for Psion OO C, but I'm a long way from a compiler. There have been efforts to coax gcc into compiling for SIBO/EPOC16, but I think they have stalled for now.If you want some examples of EPOC16 C and OO C code, take a look at these: <a href="https://github.com/thelastpsion/edisasm" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/thelastpsion/edisasm</a> <a href="https://github.com/thelastpsion/pyramid" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/thelastpsion/pyramid</a> <a href="https://github.com/thelastpsion/nfsc" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/thelastpsion/nfsc</a> <a href="https://github.com/nickmat/Psion3-Wari" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/nickmat/Psion3-Wari</a> <a href="https://github.com/nickmat/Psion3-Vector" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/nickmat/Psion3-Vector</a><h1>Device</h1>The 3mx is the best choice. It's significantly faster than the earlier models (27.6 MHz vs 7.6 MHz), has a switchable backlight, the fastest RS232 and the best version of EPOC16. I "daily drive" one for journalling, adventure games, and a few other small tasks. After that I'd say the 3c (beware - they were covered in soft-touch rubber, so will need cleaning) and the 2MB 3a. The latter is the most common. Most 3c units came with a backlight, except for the early UK ones. The 3a doesn't. Arguably the non-backlit screens have better contrast so you don't need the backlight so much in lower light, but the backlight has obvious benefits.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroDev</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/16bit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#16bit</a>
