Could you talk a little more about DOSEMU2 versus DOSEMU?
I'm literally spinning up DOSEMU today to run a bunch of old DOS compilers (Watcom). I can't find much on DOSEMU2 other than its release logs, which seem focused on games and amd64. I think that Lredir/emufs (access to the Linux filesystem) and "dumb" stdin/out are important features to me.
- stuaxo 10y agoI think Stas Sergeev wanted a place to do bigger changes to dosemu at the same time as Bart Oldeman has been stepping back / busy with other things. So Stas made a dosemu2 repo on github, with the additional benefits of being a more modern development environment than sourceforge. It's worth having a play with, some of the older more knarly parts of the source are getting dealt with.
- amluto 10y agoStas also tells me when I accidentally break dosemu2, and dosemu gets updated to take advantage of newer kernel features. Headline features include espfix64 (for more accurate returns to DOS code from interrupts) and proper SS sigcontext support (ditto). Lifechanging, I know :)
