ipxbox PPTP VPN Demonstration (IPX DOS Games under Real Hardware) THEBaratusII 2021-08-16 | github.com/fragglet/ipxboxfraggle (who is best known for developing Chocolate Doom) had developed ipxbox which is a standalone DOSBox IPXNET server program written in Go.ipxbox powered the servers we used for our events at DOSBox Deathmatch Club. The first method that allowed real hardware to connect was Dali (fraggle's other project) but it is in early development and there have been reports of people's old PCs locking up when Dali was connected.And just recently fraggle implemented PPTP VPN support to ipxbox enabling mainly Windows 95/98/Me machines to connect to DOSBox servers powered by ipxbox without needing to resort to MS-DOS mode and play IPX multiplayer games under real hardware (or perhaps on PCem, 86Box, VMWare, VirtualBox etc.)I haven't tested a Windows game on this yet but I feel it might be limited due to the IPX protocol needing to be installed on the OS for it to work (Windows XP & Server 2003 were the last OSes to support IPX protocol)But for now, I do believe this is a big milestone for DOSBox multiplayer I must say.
THEPentiumII - software rendering gang! THEBaratusII 2021-06-17 | Was originally going to be a video involving playing UT99/Unreal/Quake II via Glide using Unified wrappers (on a TNT2 M64) but I got tried of the visual bugs I've encountered so I changed the plan to me play those three games but under software rendering.Also noting this video is somewhat a "FUCK YOU" to the scalpers who are out there on eBay selling those 3Dfx cards for god awful and unreasonable prices. Other than that, the main reason I made this video was to see if software rendering plays reasonly better than the TNT2 M64.
Descent Shareware 1.0 Playthrough (Revisted) THEBaratusII 2020-12-01 | Five years ago, I uploaded a play through video of the first shareware release of Descent, but it wasn't properly finished (died as soon as the boss died and ended the level)To celebrate soon to be 26 years of the shareware release (at the time of this writing) I will be revisiting this shareware and this time, properly finish it.Q&A1. Why is this being revisited?A : The primary reason behind this stems from the last-time I did a playthrough of this. In the last playthrough, I died after defeating the shareware boss which ruins the thing even when playing in the Trainee difficulty. Another reason is to celebrate the shareware's 26th anniversary as the retail version turned 25 in 2020.2. What sound device are you using?A : Gravis Ultrasound for both sound and music.3. You play so bad, you may use the automap to avoid getting lost.A : I'm sorry but I ain't a pro at this, these maps can get confusing at times and the automap sometimes works for me. Well, atleast it's not a speedrun.
