Yesterday, the first Linux I installed, to test outside of NixOS was Debian 11 (same computer, I make different partitions under GPT, UEFI). I was surprised that Debian got rid of VirtualBox in Debian 10 (because they don't like how the company handle CVE for older versions), and also got rid o

After many many hours of fighting with the installer to install in dosemu... then realized that it was dosemu1 not 2, I finally managed to have FreeDOS mostly running under Dosemu2. But when I ran a program using cwsdpmi, it complains I should run cwsdpmi. And then, cwsdpmi complains it canno

In reply to Jim, that was agreeing my problems could be because I was running VirtualBox on NixOS: I did not try every games, but it seems VirtualBox of GeckoLinux give exact same results (the color problem is for me the most disturbing), than on NixOS.

Yes, that could be part of the problem. I haven't used NixOS (I use Fedora) but I see on the NixOS home page they write: "Nix is a tool that takes a unique approach to package management and system configuration." The "unique approach" usually means "incompatible" depending on what they've changed

Hi everybody, I made a patch to fix the speed of NGE Nibbles, but it does not come with a makefile: Instead, it comes with a RHIDE (DJGPP C/C++ IDE) config file to compile it with the DJGPP C++ compiler, also making assumptions about the source path. Does anybody use RHIDE already and would be w
