There's also a 32-bit Native Windows version of LORD out there some
<ahem> Which can run just fine on 64-bit versions of Windows (including Windows 10).
Anyone have LORD installed on their board and people using it?

I have it installed, but other than the random person that logs on to my board because they found it via a web search and wanted to live some nostalgia, I'm the only regular player.
and by "regular" I mean I play my turns about once a week when I remember.

If you have list of the doors that run on a 64bit system I would love to know witch ones do and I would gladly install them. anyone that read this please chime in. I will have to look for that lord version also. I will check if you have it on vert...

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.

Would that include running the 16bit IGMs as well? I found a 32-bit
of Turbo Pascal 7 and recompiled an old IGM I 'wrote' and it seems to run fine.

Nope no questions, just looking for IGM beta testers :-/

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

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 toand
from your network hardware.
MUCH faster than trying to emulate a network card in the VM apparently.

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.

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
