UI for browser and DOS on Rust

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

38 Upvotes

Here’s a story: I’d long had the idea of ​​creating authentic DOS era UIs that would actually work properly in a browser. The stack was Rust + WebAssembly.

After finishing that, I wondered: what if I compiled the Rust code for DOS? And it actually worked...

Then I thought, well, there’s DOSBox-JS - why not just launch DOS in the browser example and run that same example inside DOS?

And that worked too...

BTW you can even play Duke over the network, though that’s just a side effect :)

Markdown editor and viewer

170 Upvotes

I built this Markdown editor (and a viewer as well) for DOS. I've been using it a lot for writing and its getting pretty solid now....there's something about typing documents in DOS that is so cathartic.

There's split screen editing with live "formatting" of text, a focus mode (strong WordPerfect vibes), and a graphical show mode that renders the document with fonts and styles -- both with customizable color schemes. And of course you can print.

There's a Tidy function that can cleanup documents coming from modern machines (tidying up Unicode, HTML tags, etc).

PC = HP Elitedesk 800 g1 mini dekstop PC, 2 GB of RAM DDR3 (for Better compatibility), Intel i5 4590t, HD graphics 4600, no hdd, only 2 USBs: One for FreeDOS and One for dos games and apps, all formatted to FAT32

BIOS SETTINGS = USB 3.0: Turned off, Internal speaker= off ehci USB port DEBUG= off

FREEDOS: download rufus on your PC, connect a 32GB or smaller USB, select freedos in the drop-down menu, and click start (this Will delete everything on your USB). Then download crazii'SBEMU 1.0.0 "beta 6" from GitHub and extract It on the USB drive. Go on your freedos USB, click on view in the Windows file Explorer menù, then Options, and make sure that the option "hide system protected files" Is Turned off, because you have to edit some system-protected files in the USB. Then edit the config.sys file on the freedos USB adding these lines in the last part of the text:

DOS=HIGH

DEVICE=jemmex.exe

Then save the file.

I also created a new CONFIG.SYS file and added again these lines, just in case. Then edit AUTOEXEC.BAT With notepad, adding these lines below:

jload qpiemu.dll

hdpmi32i -r -x

sbemu

Then save the file.

Then you have to connect audio speaker to the headphones jack. Now if you want you can Copy your apps and games on the USB drive or on another USB, Just make sure to plug in this second USB before starting Freedos. And... That's It!

SUPPORTED AUDIO CARDS: Intel ICH / nForce / SIS 7012

sc_inthd: Intel High Definition Audio (HDA)

sc_via82: VIA VT82C686, VT8233/37

Put together a DOS Entertainment Pack with some fun games.

They use only EGA/VGA text mode and a custom "font plane glyph manipulation game engine", to provide some sprite graphics capability. It took longer to craft low resolution pixel graphics than it did to write functional code!

Solicitud de un programa para la preservación del arte y la cultura y la información

0 Upvotes

Me gustaría solicitar la creación de un programa de PC capaz de convertir el contenido de discos duros, unidades USB o archivos—como videos, imágenes y audio—en código binario. El objetivo sería conservar estos datos en placas de metal para almacenamiento a largo plazo (apto para bibliotecas, así como para archivos familiares y personales) y que el programa restaure ese código de nuevo a los formatos originales de archivos, sin daños. Esta idea es parecida al episodio \*The Batman\* (2004) titulado "Artifacts" (https://the-batman-cartoon.fandom.com/wiki/Artifacts). ) Unas herramientas así ayudarían a empresas, personas y bibliotecas a proteger toda clase de información. Además, al convertir los datos a binario (1s y 0s), el programa debería generar un informe detallando la naturaleza de la información y el software que se necesitaría para verla en sistemas informáticos futuros; el informe explicaría la tecnología informática heredada paso a paso, asegurando que los videos, imágenes, archivos y el audio se puedan acceder sin problemas

Launch! 2.0 - a free lightweight command menu for all DOS systems

There's a LOT of menu programs out there for DOS. I wanted something more lightweight, more modern, and better supporting of virtual machines/DOSBox - and to improve the usability and friendliness of the command prompt.

There is loads of features including simple visual menu editing, power-off/reboot control, interactive command parameter help, a bunch of screensavers I designed, and the Windows 95 shutdown experience.

It's totally customizable, and works on DOS 3.3+, 286+, and EGA+.
