Been wanting to check out DOS programming for a while but tooling setup always seemed overly daunting. If this works on an M1 it would be amazing.
- ranger_danger 4y agoWhy would you want to program for DOS on an ARM Mac?
- xhrpost 4y agoIt's my main machine. The DOS aspect I find irrelevant as you have to emulate on any other platform.
- pridkett 4y agoThere's something really fun about programming directly for a DOS machine. Mucking around with the interrupts, copying whole off screen rendered pages to the video RAM to show the new page, needing to think about RAM consumption, diving into assembly to optimize routines (probably not needed anymore), palette changes to simulate animation. Some of those constraints really help to promote creativity.
