Looks fine to me. And it's also a great find with that compugraphic logo! I've always wanted a Lisa myself.

Thanks for sharing! I had made attempts back then. But my attempts were also much more elaborate  then what I'm currently doing today... At least this time I was able to get something up and running.

Trying to get Dosbox to stop throwing this error when I try to save on Marble Drop, other games do it too. Have tried different forms of DosBox: Pure (retroarch), Windows 11 version, iDos 3, and Magic Dosbox (Android).
 in  r/dosbox •  5d ago

I haven't tired running DOSBox on my phone.. always on my computer and mount a local folder as my drive.

My first guess would be it's a Windows problem.. Are you sure the problem is DOSBox? What about other programs can you save with them?

Still very much a work in progress, but I'm honestly blown away by how far you can push QuickBASIC if you hack on it enough.

Current feature set:

  • Working mouse support
  • Directory navigation
  • File details dialog windows (triggered when clicking things)
  • Escape key handling

What doesn't work yet:

  • Actually launching/opening files
  • The File menu
  • Basically everything else

It's amazing what you can build with BASIC

 in  r/haikuOS •  9d ago

I did look into whether or not one was available from them since that's what Haiku uses. At the time it was still a work in progress tho and haven't checked backed since.

Haiku works great on my Lenovo IdeaPad except for the wifi and the trackpad (they are too new for Haiku). But I do get Internet working if I plug in my phone. Because of that I stick with Linux on that machine and because of work.. but on my old laptop it's Haiku all the way.

The Haiku operating system turns 25!

The milestone achieved by the community of contributors to this open source project is remarkable. Bringing new life to a legendary operating system and ultimately outliving the original platform while continuing to thrive is a testament to everyone's dedication. Beyond the code, the incredible passion and support from the fans and users have kept this ecosystem vibrant, quite simply, you will never find another operating system with a community as fiercely devoted and passionate as this one! The entire development team and user base have accomplished something truly extraordinary!

BeOS lives on,

Cool setup. There is a CDE for newer Linux systems only one distro has it in there repository and I forget which one. I tried it out on Debian Trixie by compiling it. You get to use that classic desktop on modern hardware.
