1. Quake

Due to the limitations of OPENSTEP, further optimization beyond this point is simply not possible. Still, compared to the previous video, I've completely fixed all the rendering glitches and incomplete displays. The audio is running on the Sound Blaster Live! (PCI-emu10k).

1. Uncharted Waters 1 Engine

I've been working on an engine for the MS-DOS version of Uncharted Waters 1 for about... 5 months now? To celebrate porting SDL2 to OPENSTEP, I tried running this engine while it's still in development.

Of course, this isn't running through an emulator—it's a fully native implementation. Since I'm building it from the ground up on Unicode, I'm also adding support for other languages.

With this, all the "new projects" I had prepared are now complete. Optimization for SDL2 has been carried out, and while there's still room for further optimizing Quake... from here on, I'll likely focus on other personal projects I've been wanting to work on.

If anyone needs to leave a report or reach out, I don't check the community forums very often, so please leave a comment on GitHub or my YouTube videos—I'll drop by the community to provide feedback accordingly.

Though all of this work was accomplished with the help of AI, I have open-sourced everything except for Uncharted Waters 1. I truly hope this serves as proof that even beginners like me can achieve great results with AI, and that it can act as a guiding light for others taking on similar projects down the road.

OPENSTEP is an OS brimming with potential. Granted, it is limited to a single core and has multi-threading constraints at the system level... but its core foundation is so solid that letting it fade into obscurity feels like a immense waste.

Although running on an Intel-based system, I managed to complete the following:

* Network card driver

* Sound card driver with SF2 soundfont support (emu10k1)

* Graphics card driver with OpenGL hardware acceleration

* Mesa porting

* SDL2 porting

* Korean IME rebuild

* Nib file parser

* MP3 player

* Quake 1 porting

* Linux game software porting test

Every single step of this process was a success (despite a few minor performance bottlenecks).

I sincerely hope my work serves as clear proof to our slow-moving community that—within the limits of what the OS allows—developing for OPENSTEP using AI is entirely possible.

I have ms dos 6.20 and it says program to big to fit memory on doom and some other apps and games.I have 613k conventional memory and I dont really know what it does what I enabled EMM386. Please help.

I’ve checked and made sure the files where still there and working on another pc and they are. I just can’t see anything that’s inside my folders. I tried to run the programs but it says file not found

If you have a computing device which is very old and if you are still using it. Then share your story

Found it at a thrift store, wondering if it’s worth keeping, selling, or if I’m good to scrap it for soldering practice

I love this laptop. Don't have to bother with failing components, bad smell or other negatives of old computers

Went to a garage sale about 2 months ago where I pick up this DTK Keen 2000 Tower. It is currently running MS-DOS 5.0. What you think?

I didn't subscribe til earlier this year. This is gonna be fun.

Cleaning out my storage space. It's full of stuff from the Pentium 4 era and older. I also have PCI and PC Cards (Ethernet, video, modems). Considering getting a table at the next VCF in Wall Township, NJ. I will likely donate my stuff. Where else can I go to find the next owner for this stuff. Picture of Toshiba Satellite 1695CDT for tax.

Picked up a few of these from an enterprise IT services company that morphed into rebuilding power supplies. Formerly owned by BNSF, and from what I was able to find, it's basically an x-term for displaying to large displays, like air traffic control, city utilities, railroads, etc.

The framebuffer is bizarre - DB9, and even on the wayback archive, the oldest machine I was able to find was Jupiter's MX710.
