A new feature is added to the Another Droid BBS. Its a new DOOR program called, RetroROMs. Its a database for retrogames (NES, Megadrive, NeoGeo etc.) with complete list of games for each platform, info about them and also the ability to download ROM files.
For the time being, no ROM files are provided and the DOOR itself is
under Beta testing, cause i found some glitches when using various
telnet client programs. RetroROMs works fine with SyncTerm, but with Netrunner, its not possible to download files and some graphics are not displaying correct. But i am working on them... maybe i will "translate" the whole DOOR program to a MPL script... What do you think?
You can try it at the BBS (andr01d.zapto.org:9999). You will find it in the main menu.

Can you send me an example of the graphics that doesn't display
correctly?
I see ANSI art fail in SyncTerm often but I never have with NetRunner so
I am suprised. I'd like to investigate if you have a .ANS you can provide.
(100%) in syncterm works flawlessly. For the DOOR i use the mlib units from the older open source Mystic code.

You are using buggy alpha code from like 7 years ago for a door? That might be your real problem lol
If you want you can turn on session capture with NetRunner to capture
the raw ANSI codes into a text file so we can see what its sending. I'd very suprised if its the ANSI parser because its been in use for nearly
20 years now without changes or reports of issues.

FINALLY hopped on your board and checked things out a bit - very cool! I love your setup, it's very unique. Poked around with RetroROMS a bit... awesome idea! Had to take off early when I was on earlier, but I shall
be back soon to play around with it more.
Is this stuff written in MPL?
Lot of folks turned from netrunner to synchterm prob because of ssh and rlogin availability. Personally I still like/love NR over synch and
hope it gets both added after everything is said and done with mis2 A37 release?
Its a nice opportunity to release the updated code... :) lol
My thought also... also the .ANS file thats being displayed in the beginning appears just fine. The problems start after i use some
functions in the code. So, i suppose that its the "buggy code" responsible. I will do some tests and get back.
If you mean RetroROMs, is written in FreePascal... but in the BBS all features except the PHP Forum reader (which is also in Freepascal), is written in MPL.

there are any differences. I looked at the huge list, some I have many I don't care about ;)
OK, looked at a few more posts and your complaining about screen
capture. You need to use the capture features, not try to copy and
paste. All older terminal programs were that way.
I did use the capture features... :( With the new code i used, the problem is less visible and it seems to appear mainly in Netrunner. I
also used the telnet program from the terminal and it worked flawlessly.
I think I've said this to you a few times, but if you want me to look
into it please capture the session with NetRunner when the problem
occurs so I can have a file that contains exactly what is sent to NetRunner. Help me help you! :)
capture a session, but i don't know how to send it to you. I can't find your email :( Is it all right to send it at mysticbbs (at) gmail.com?

I'd be suprised if not having SSH was really much of a factor but of course I could be wrong. There is a surprising number of people (to me) who use NetRunner... it constantly surprises me.
I personally use SyncTERM mainly due to two reasons - SSH and the fact that using Netrunner is impossible with my keyboard layout.
Netrunner's mouse support sounds really cool though, I'd definitely like to try that some time if I manage to get the program to work.
I tried using Netrunner some time ago but it wouldn't let me enter ":", among other things ("*" is also a problem).
But I can rip the IPV6 and SSH code from NodeSpy no probably and put it into NetRunner. I suppose I should.
I have all of the code to add SSH into NetRunner but it does feel like a lot of people stopping using it, so I don't know how much effort I
should really put into developing it more.

I think the lack of use for NR these days stems from the lack of SSH, I would have been still using it if it had been able to use it. Would also start using and playing with it again if it was deved and had SSH added.=D

I love NR, but SSH is becoming very popular -- which I'm very happy
about.

Well if you guys are serious that you'd all use it, then I will go ahead and add in SSH and IPV6 from the NodeSpy code.
I am currently an almost full time user of netrunner.
