No, you are wrong. DOS COM files if 16 bit can't be run on 64 bit CPU's but 32 bit DOS binaries can be run under 32 bit GNU/Linux installs with DosEMU straight by just emulating the BIOS part, the rest is native.

ARM device trees suck. ACPI for sure it's hell, but a DTB per device it's a damn disaster. U-Boot it's open, but it sucks at having to plug a damn USB-serial cable in 2026 in order to get a prompt . That should come builti

With Asterisk and some voip client (even some modern phones) and some ZMachine modules you could play from Zork to tons of adventure games for the ZMachine at IFDB, from Anchorhead to Tristam Island. Which is kinda the reverse of this, reus

I still can't get java2dis (or whatever is calling) running into Inferno. Which might be interesting as I still have an old as hell Java point and click adventure game (made with a semi-infamous one in Spain from back in the day for am

If you use GNU+Linux/BSD or anything with an X server, by tweaking the modelines you can broadcast a song over AM by using harmonics from your screen. Search for Tempest for Eliza.

Before that there was Forth running in the Transputer, which looks really close to current parallel computing.

I actually ran Sokoban under EForth running on top of subleq/muxleq with a VM interpreted under few lines of AWK.

Doom it's easy. Better the ZMachine with an interpreter based on DFrotz, or another port. Then a game can even run under a Game Boy. For a similar case, check Eforth+Subleq. If this guy can emulate subleq CPU under a GPU (something lik

I am not saying that they were PC's 100 years ago; I'm saying that a bunch of marketing items/books from Soccer in Spain can be really expensive. I still have that oddball T-shirt from the Athletic Club with blobs instead of

These hacks will just duplicate code by not using builting Explorer/Shell32 libraries and the like. So in the end you are running two instances of different tools. Also they will be totally useless on updates. Back in the day you could

You must be young. Sport trading cards have been there forever and for instance in my country, Spain, OFC some of the rare -soccer related- sticky cards were sold by big amounts of money (not millions like TCG), but for sure you could buy a

9front can mount old DOC/XLS documents as OLE 'filesystems' first and then extract the tables/text from them. As for sandboxing, 9front/plan9 uses namespaces, but shared directories exist, of course. That's the

Modern Linux can't even scratch a 486 and some Motorola platforms. Or VAX. Heck, I run NetBSD 10.1 vanilla under simh 3.8 for 9front emulated on an amd64 laptop (old Celeron, 2GB). Slow, but enough to play Slashem. On portability on co

Similar to Deus Ex with GMDX (no, the high res textures from one of the mods were atrociously bad with nonsense Hanzi/Kanji everywhere). It expanded the world with little touches here and there making the environment more believable an

OpenBSD it's much easier to setup than NetBSD, on user friendlyness obsd beats nbsd, but as you said nbsd it's better on portability, I can literally run NetBSD 10.1 under simh/vax running under... 9front. No X, because the e

That's the curse on the Unix world. At least FreeBSD, NetBSD (OpenBSD not by design, but that's understandable because of security) have their compat libraries on plus some of them (even GTK1) in their ports. On 9front, I just ada

On OpenLDK, if it's able to run something like SweetHome3D at usable speeds I would consider it a success and an interesting exercise.

RMS itself being a diehard Scheme and Elisp user said that he found Java elegant over C. This was OFC long before Go and when C++ was king in the 90's. On Java itself, when CLOS, a dog-ancient system for Common Lisp it's enough to
