progress pic of my name cab. marquee was the last item. now it's time to get the finishings
Eventually I found success using the latest substring build: https://github.com/substring/os/releases , only hiccup was some issues until I upped the minimum pixel clock. Think that forced it to use a multiple of the horizontal resolution rather than the native one that was too low for my card to output.

Oregon Trail
Funny timing. I actually just built an in-house server this past Friday to host the original Oregon Trail using js-dos because I don't like poking holes in the content filter for sites like archive.org. I didn't worry too much about copyright, as I assumed it was abandonware at this point.

Ask HN: Again: The “I want to do everything but end up doing nothing” dilemma
Thanks glad you liked it! It's actually not a port but is running on DOS via https://js-dos.com/, same as Doom and Jazz Jackrabbit. I actually have my 8 favorite Shareware games on my website which can all be played.

DOS Emulation via js-dos

5 Insane Features in my OS in the Browser!!! 🤯
Adding emulators is something I always wanted to do and I have plans to add more in 2022. For 2021 I was able to add Virtual x86 (.img/.iso), BoxedWine (.exe/.zip), JS-DOS (.exe/.zip) & Ruffle (.swf/.spl). Most of these emulators utilize WebAssembly to run non-JS code.

After 1 YEAR of hard work my NEW Ultimate Web Desktop Environment is ready for launch!!!!!
It can indeed run some real windows programs via BoxedWine. I've set it up so you can double click an .exe and it will automatically try and run it, although typically if it needs support dll's then they are all in a zip. For example the zip file for Notepad++ 32-bit x86 can directly run in BoxedWine. You just drag the zip file on, right click and select run in BoxedWine. It can also run DOS apps/games via JS-DOS and has similar mappings for exe/zip. Both emulators make use of WASM as do several other apps, such as the x86 emulator shown in the demo video. My main "OS" is only JS/HTML/CSS written in TypeScript with React/Styled Components.
