plugging my game console and its jam again

itch.io/jam/gametank-game-jam-

there's a theme but actually I'll be happy with games, tools, PRs on the emulator or SDK, or even just getting the SDK example to compile and run and feedback on your experience doing so 🙂

I need help with some C code for MSDOS.
Does MSDOS provide an API for getting the width (in number of characters) of the screen?

Struggling to find any documentation on the internet. There is a bit but it doesn't cover this.

this is a screenshot that i believe to be from the Mac 512 retail ROM (it says "Insert the initialization disk" in Portuguese). in trying to locate this ROM (the only known dumped Mac 512 ROM is actually the Mac Plus copy) i accidentally found the Unitron 1024's instead.

some misconceptions: Unitron did not work on multiple mac clones, it only changed name:

"Mac 512" is the initial project, which was simply a straight up copy of the original Macintosh with 512K RAM, eventually became closer to a Mac Plus clone

"Turbo Mac" is the same identical machine with improved PAL timings for RAM access which sped it up

"Unitron 1024" is the same hardware with 1MB RAM, in a futile attempt to make it more legally distinct after the lawsuit

none of it fully came to market

the only other known dump of a Unitron Mac 512 ROM is the earliest one, which is identical to the Mac Plus ROM, which caused the Apple lawsuit which shut down the project. had Unitron not rushed to market before they could've made a clean room clone of the ROM (which the eventual Unitron 1024 tried to, too little too late), the Mac 512 project might have passed certification (necessary to be sold) and survived.

i wanted to investigate these more before uploading them but i lost interest. here they are

it looks like they're (at least partially) compiled from C(?), not sure how complete they are, not sure how much of them are still just copied from apple roms. both have the same build date, smaller one seems to boot and the larger one just sadmacs. functionally the only difference i could see are graphics. the sources are as far as we know completely lost.

if you tell me you like my "character" i'll be very confused and if you insist my picture is of a "character" or "fursona" i'm going to personally boil your entire face off until the pale weak skin covering your bloody muscles turn into gas

if your fursona is closer to being "you" than a "representation of you", that might not just be your fursona

re: danger: linux 

@jk Linux can't be a cohesive system because Unix never reconsidered configuration as it evolved from a pile of CLI tools with man pages and a dedicated expert admin to a graphical OS where the user is the admin. an operating /system/ would solve the configuration problem once for all programs. in practice *nix people hear this, think "windows registry" and then implement their own config file parser. or they go GNOME and use dconf (good!) but also remove settings for fun

danger: linux 

i use linux every day. and when i want to configure something? i don't know where to look, don't know which one of the many configuration utilities to use, have to go on a big forum thread research session to find out what the best practice is for my situation, don't know which config file to alter, don't know if the file will be overridden in the near or far future, don't know why the changes i'm making aren't working, etc. everything is the Principle of Most Surprise, and it sucks
