I even sent the user manual to an online document printer to get it bound into a real book. #DJGPP #MSDOS #CPlusPlus #RetroComputing https://beta.ncot.uk/projects/dosdev/lets-recreate-a-90s-pc-bios-boot-screen/ Fri, 13 Dec 2024 12:48:31 +0000 https://beta.ncot.uk/projects/dosdev/lets-recreate-a-90s-pc-bios-boot-screen/ Because why not, it looks simpler than it really is and we’ll get to fall down a rabbit hole trying to draw the Energy Star logo. #MSDOS #DJGPP #VGA #Interrupts https://beta.ncot.uk/videos/nostalgic-dos-development-part-1-freedos-djgpp-rhide-and-other-madness/ Mon, 25 Nov 2024 22:06:11 +0000 https://beta.ncot.uk/videos/nostalgic-dos-development-part-1-freedos-djgpp-rhide-and-other-madness/ Come back to a time when 640k was enough, and when a 486 DX2/66 was considered a fast computer. None of this modern multi-core rubbish or branch predicting exploitable nonsense here. Just you, me, DOS and a C compiler. #MSDOS #DJGPP #CProgramming #AssemblyLanguage https://beta.ncot.uk/projects/dosdev/nostalgic-dos-development-part-2-writing-our-first-programs/ Mon, 25 Nov 2024 21:00:34 +0000 https://beta.ncot.uk/projects/dosdev/nostalgic-dos-development-part-2-writing-our-first-programs/ This is part two, go read part 1 first. #MSDOS #DJGPP #Keyboards #RetroComputing https://beta.ncot.uk/projects/dosdev/nostalgic-dos-development-setting-up-the-machine/ Mon, 25 Nov 2024 20:35:13 +0000 https://beta.ncot.uk/projects/dosdev/nostalgic-dos-development-setting-up-the-machine/ The modern world is far too complex. Software has become piles of APIs stacked on top of each other, running on virtual machines inside browsers. Even the CPUs themselves are too complex for anyone to understand. #MSDOS #DJGPP #RetroComputing #Programming
