  • Mystic BBS for Raspberry Pi 64 Bit

    From Alisha Stutz@2:301/1 to g00r00 on Fri Dec 23 21:29:32 2022

    Hello g00r00!

    Is there any hope for a Mystic BBS version for the Raspberry Pi in 64 bit in the near future? Why I ask this is very simple.

    1.) Rasperry Pi IV with 8 Gigabyte need a 64 Bit Linux so that the whole 8GB memory can be accessed.

    2.) If I take for example Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS 32 Bit. DOSEMU2 is missing therefore no Door Games are possible but MysticBBS runs on Raspberry Pi.

    3.) If I take for example Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS 64 Bit I have DOSEMU2, therefore Door Games would run, but Mystic BBS does not run on a Raspberry Pi.

    It would be really great that with the next PreAlpha version also a 64 bit version for Raspberry Pi would appear, as it is also the case with Linux x86/64 and Windows.

    Greetings
    Alisha

    Yes there is. I did compile a 64-bit Pi version a while back but it apparently was severely broken, too broken to really give anyone to run.

    I also don't have a Pi 64-bit and they've been difficult to get the past year or two.

    And then there is compiler compatibility. I think 64-bit ARM was somewhat experiemental back then too.

    Now that Pi 64-bit is more common, its time to re-review things and see if we can get an update out for 64-bit.

    ... 24 hours in a day and 24 beers in a case. Hmmmm...
