Pelle's C compiler and tools / Re: WTypeLibList4 as test proj...

Last post by TimoVJL - April 25, 2025, 04:16:17 AM

Now there is version compiled with msvc 2022 tools with WDDK 7.10 headers and libraries for testing.
Hopefully this time it won't crash easily.
Some code is modified of Pelle's code for this standalone version.
An example isn't bloated, as it use msvcrt.dll in funny way.

Nice. Good resource.
Realize that I'm just a bystander making comments from the peanut gallery.
Just because I complain about something doesn't mean I give enough of a shit to do an online search, so quit with the net-chiding, pleeze.

Just give me some HTML!

How about this?
Or This?

A quick Google for "Ralf Brown interrupt list" yielded these and others....

And a Wiki page

Just curious: how did you come to figure this out? Do you have some IBM PC low-level manuals? This isn't anything like common knowledge.

Ralf Brown's interrupt list, which includes a file called ports.txt

Ugh. Everything's in .zip files. Just give me some HTML!
And where is ports.txt on that page?

Ralf and Peter Norton were the only sources of free detailed info about the IBM BIOS and early MS-DOS

Ralf Brown is probably how I learned what I know.  I start with a Google search of some terms, but eventually came to the Ralf Brown site.

Yes, but osdev is also a good source, if it's hardware-related: https://wiki.osdev.org/%228042%22_PS/2_Controller

One can also peek in the virtualizer's source code (i.e. qemu ), but I'm not too convinced that those are of high quality...

Reading port 64h bit 0 was the answer!!

That's the "data present" bit of the 8042 (keyboard controller) status register (according to this page).

RosAsm / Re: IsChildWindow (For simple ...

Last post by guga - April 24, 2025, 01:44:55 AM

Btw, i had to create this thing for an update i made on GetWindowPos. I updated an old RosAsm function, and now it is correctly retrieving the values in logical pixels. I also emulated a routine for DPI awareness. I tested all these functions during last night. It seems they are working, specially the GetWindowPos because my old version wasn´t returning the proper values. https://masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=12744.msg138665#msg138665

Nugget continues in the pond...

Silly dog. 

We were mad at her, but also found it hilarious at the same time.
Sorry for the crappy quality, my sister made the video (out of my control)
