  • Yankee Trader v3.6 working!

    Man, i struggled with this tempermental door game, but finally got it running and it doesn't appear to be crashing -- yet.

    Lots of old conversation around a DOSBox workaround, but in case anyone
    is curious, here's what I got it running on:

    - ProxMox PVE
    - Windows 2019 Server
    - NTVDMx64 (ccpu, not haxm)
    - Synchronet v3.19

    I'm running SBBS as a secondary door server, so passing users through to that for games that need Windows - e.g. there's a Gutterball Win32 version, etc.

    Going to play with it for a while before throwing it up on the BBS.

    I made sure Charles made a 16 bit version of 4.0 (which released a few
    months ago). So why not use that?

    i did not realize there wasa recent release. i remember there were features in the 32b version that were not in the 16b veesion bit could be mistaken.

    Yeah, you can grab it over here if you'd like.

    ... Anyone ever found a use for those tractor feed cutouts?
