DOSBox Staging v0.82.1 has been released 🥳

The main focus of this maintenance release is to fix a couple of regressions introduced in 0.82.0 and older releases, mostly related to game compatibility. The other big improvement is the CPU usage of the 3dfx Voodoo emulation has been reduced by about 50%, so your computer won’t go into hoover-mode anymore when playing those Voodoo games 😎

check out the release notes for the details:

I was able to get an instance of System 7 running in Basilisk 2 on both my Macbook Air and Mac Mini to connect to each other using AppleTalk!

1) Basilisk 2 preferences must have udptunnel set to true
and udpport set to the same port on all Basilisk 2 instances.
2) The Control Panel Sharing Setup must have File Sharing configured and started.
3) Guest user should have Allow guests to connect checked.

Thanks @oevl, you inspired me with your post last night.

Did you know that on the Intel 8088, "IP" is not a real register?

That's right, nothing on the CPU tracks the position of the currently executing instruction.

Internally, there is a PC register that tracks the next byte to be fetched.

When a return address needs to be pushed to the stack, a special microcode instruction "CORR" subtracts the length of the instruction queue in bytes from the value of PC.

When you edit the value of PC in MartyPC, you'll see the IP "register" update accordingly. If you want to make a manual jump, you can change PC to where you want to go and then click the little "Flush" button to flush the PIQ. You're then ready to start executing from that location.

I'll probably let you edit IP directly and automate the flush for you.

The PCSX2 team today has decided to join many other excellent free and open-source software projects in creating a Liberapay as a companion to our existing GitHub Sponsors. This helps to keep the lights on and gives our team room to polish and innovate on PCSX2 so our shared goal of preservation can continue well into the future. If you use a FOSS application or library, we highly recommend checking Liberapay to see if they're on there as well! liberapay.com/PCSX2 #foss #emulation #liberapay

Both screens on the Nintendo DS have a 256x192 resolution, which just happens to be the same resolution as the ZX Spectrum. 👌

I've tried emulators for other systems, but I'm not fond of the downscaling (e.g. from 320x224 like the Neo Geo). Plus, almost all seem to have been abandoned many (many) years ago.

ZXDS appears to be actively maintained, and a nice emulator overall.

#tipoftheday #syncthing is a great small piece of software. it is a decentralized file synchronization tool, which i use for several purposes.

It replaced iCloud / Dropbox / Nextcloud for me for synchronizing and backing up my eBook library and i also use it for savegame synchronization for #emulation.

Just run one instance either on a home server or a VPS, and it actually fulfills most purposes people use for instance dropbox for. For free.
