    32-bit versions of Windows 10 run dos doors (e.g. LORD) just fine.

    There's also a 32-bit Native Windows version of LORD out there some where. <ahem> Which can run just fine on 64-bit versions of Windows (including Windows
    10).

    Ya, I hear that! Same here. I recompiled a crappy little IGM I wrote back in the 90's, called Chicken Run (no reference to echicken). Was wondering if anyone would beta test it for me. I am currently re-writing another IGM called
    Split2, hoping someone will test that for me as well. You know, to help get bugs out of it :-P

    Would that include running the 16bit IGMs as well? I found a 32-bit version of

    you can run .js games (JavasScript), also if you use DoorParty you can run hundreds of games and you don't have to install or maintain them. I run door party plus a whole bunch of Interactive Fiction (Zork, Hitchhikers, etc).

    Personally I find Legend Of the Red Dragon to be boring as hell, and everyone runs it.

    Which version?? I've got L.O.R.D. 4.06 and L.O.R.D. II "Complete New
    World" over here...but I'm not getting many callers, playing it or
    otherwise. But, even without callers, I run the BBS for my enjoyment.

    Unfortunately, I don't even think you can register L.O.R.D. or
    L.O.R.D. II anymore.

    If you're running 64-bit instead of 32-bit for Windows 10, you're SOL
    on the 16-bit doors...unless you do some kind of workaround.

    I'm considering upgrading to Windows 10 this spring, but it will have
    to be 32-bit.

    I'm not sure what kind of workaround that might be for 64-bit Windows. I don't
    remember seeing if anyone has successfully found a way to run 16-bit BBS doors on a 64-bit Windows.

    I'm considering upgrading to Windows 10 this spring, but it will have
    to be 32-bit.

    I tried running my BBS on a 32-bit Windows 10, but it was very slow for some reason. I was running in a VM though. It seems to run a lot better in Windows
    7.

    Old thread, but I see this comment all the time, I'm running on Virtualbox (6 think) and if you use the default "emulated network card" you'll get really poor results.

    Solution is to use a virtIO driver which basically just tells your VM to write data to your HDD, then it tells your host to deliver the data to and from your network hardware.

    MUCH faster than trying to emulate a network card in the VM apparently.

    It seems that many SysOps are running SBBS in a VM just so they can have old 16
    bit doors ... I mean ... hey, SBBS runs just fine on a native x86_64 or even a Linux X86_64 or ARM7+... also ... Virtualbox 6+ is deprecating 32/16 support ... so what is the solution? HUH!? Perhaps just use Virtualbox 5.2+ or forget old DOS Doors and run SBBS natively and use JS Doors & 32 bit Doors .... IMHO


    2 wrongs don't make a right, but 3 left turns will get you back on the freeway!

    Old thread, but I see this comment all the time, I'm running on
    Virtualbox (6 I think) and if you use the default "emulated network
    card" you'll get really poor results.

    Solution is to use a virtIO driver which basically just tells your VM
    to write data to your HDD, then it tells your host to deliver the data
    to and from your network hardware.

    MUCH faster than trying to emulate a network card in the VM
    apparently.

    I'm running an obscure Interactive Fiction Interpreter, it's old, there's no source, and I'm not talented enough to write something in .js, BUT I am trying to figure out how to use "Parchment" on the web side, but again, trying to figure out how to nicely implement it into Synchronet is taking some time which
    I don't have a ton of. That's my main passion for my board. I have a vision, but it's a long ways off. Hoping WinXP Guest on VB6 holds out til I get the courage to move to Linux.
