[xyjamepa]

Hi,

Today,while I was searching for posts related to vesa programming
I ran across this post,I tried to download VBETest.zip , but It seems there is a problem with the server,
also, I thought about conacting the author , but unfortunatelly ,I think he didn't register
at osdev after the merge with MT,any way,does anyone of you gus has this file?

Thanx.

The domain mentioned on that post is a good hint, his name is Rob Lohman - unfortunately it would seem that he dropped off the face of the earth mid 2006.

Try sending him an email, maybe he's not dead.

EDIT: He's recently been active on the forum REDUSER.net.

Hi,

What bit of this demo are you interested in ?, as i have many vesa demos.

Well,I'm interested in vesa programming in general, also I'm interested in fonts and
characters in graphics mode.

PS:I'm coding my os now in protected mode.

Thanx.

I'm still alive and lurking around

My server is indeed offline (I moved half way across the world and haven't found the time yet to put a server up again), but I should still have all the files and will see if I can find that archive for you this weekend.

There are some problems with the code but if you're interested in using a linear frame buffer and higher resolutions then it does show how to do that.

Any suggestions on one of those free services I could upload the file to?

Cheers,

Rob

If you could please upload (some) of your files in one ZIP or TAR archive in a place like RapidShare or Megaupload I could copy it in my server and host it as a mirror if it helps.

You can add attachments to posts

Can guests see attachments? If not, that would limit the access and would need to be moved elsewhere later.

Good to hear from you robos.

Also thank you Dex very much for those demos.
They are just great.


Thanx.

Hmmm, having a hard time finding this and other files. I must be forgetting about a backup somewhere

[robos]

I've found my VBE sample code and have attached it to this post. Enjoy!

I had to delete mkisofs from the archive to fit it within the 64 KB attachment limit on the forum

Hey, thanks a lot indeed.

I also looked for it like a year ago and was left waiting until now. Certainly it will be of good use.

By the way, it looks like there is a very old partial cache of your visuar.com website at www.archive.org, but not these files.

Thank you very much robos.
