Sorry this isn't ported to IRIX yet, because I'm not really enthused about all those errors I've been getting. But I managed to get it to compile and work on AIX 6.1! I'll post the binary later when it's cool enough for my Intellistation to run again without sounding like a turbine.

Since this is 20080823, don't expect anything from al|together 2008 and beyond to work. LEAVEs didn't, but Narcissu and OMGWTFOTL do. Now you can (theoretically) fap to Arcueid while working with WPARS or whatever it is people actually do with their RS6Ks! Or play planetarian (theoretically)! Or play Higurashi/Umineko (theoretically)! Or (theoretically again) Kagetsu Tohya!

In case you're wondering, all those visual novels that I mentioned are halfway across the world in Malaysia. When I do get there, I'll probably continue porting ONScripter-EN over with my maxed-out Indy R5K and complain about how slow it is running ONScripter and how many seconds it takes to do a simple fade in of an image while playing Vorbis in the background. For now, just be content with these screenshots.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni Episode 4. Convmv reports that the filenames are already in UTF-8... and changing the encoding to UTF-8 in Konsole gives the correct Japanese names for the filenames, so I'm not sure what's the problem here. Maybe this version of ONScripter doesn't support UTF-8. EDIT: Yup, Windows version of 20080823 gives the same message. Even tells me not to use Vista. I'm hard at work trying to figure out why the SVN ONScripter doesn't detect my installed SDL library.

Judging from the response, I guess nobody cares about ONScripter for workstations not that I care, it's really cool to see it run on another platform and with sound.
Your library config may differ from mine (perzl's SDL, SDL_ttf, SDL_gfx, SDL_Pango installed to /opt/freeware via rpm), so you probably should compile your own binary. All libraries are provided for by this image.

Make sure that sdl-config is in your path, the included SDL doesn't compile. The compiled binaries onscripter and onscripter-en are naturally included, but may not work, I'm not familiar with static and shared libraries and all that.

If you'd like to generate interest in a new port, it might not hurt to include a reference link or a brief description of what the application is used for.

A visual novel engine. A visual novel is a novel with music and images and branching plotlines. And NScripter happens to be one of the most widely used engines. Higurashi, Umineko, Tsukihime and its derivatives, planetarian and much more are all based on NScripter. ONScripter is a GPL clone of NScripter.

Umineko episode 4 now works if you convert the 0.txt (by un-xor84-ing nscript.dat) from Shift_JIS into UTF-8, but it seems to have problems playing back Vorbis BGM. Latest SVN version of ONScripter-EN found to build with the same fixes.

Any visual novel with the file game.id needs to have that text file converted into Unix LF format, otherwise it'll hang. LEAVEs now works, and I'm sure a lot of VNs will work if you apply that game.id thing. I suppose I'll have to figure out how to correct the game.id bug in the source...

Well for me anyway, it would be a little cooler if it was running on IRIX, as I don't really use AIX to any extent. But that's just me

Maybe later tonight I'll fire up my Octane again, I have to do some shopping atm. My Intellistation is really fast compared to my Octane, so I suppose it's only natural. Plus, the speed at which pbzip2 flies never ceases to amaze me with how much those CPUs of mine can do.

Come to think of it, I wonder if a 4CPU Onyx 350 could outrun this baby of mine... heh heh heh...

MCA again....

Was helping a friend clean out his garage and noticed this sitting outside next to his deck.






It's in madly sad shape (rusted shielding and weathered plastics) since it's been sitting outside for a few years but it is indeed an ANS 700/150. It even has the keys!
The inside looks a lot cleaner so ther is still a chance it can be recovered. Erik and Shiner are the last sources of info on these beasts on the net however the necassary AIX 4.1.x software and installation media is the hard part. Linux is not an alternative (The linux kernels are just as ancient and useless now) so what do I do?

Those are nice looking machines, but are only useful as a table. They are too fragile for normal use, and it is almost impossible to find any spares when they fail as they are so rare.

I picked one with my brother that was in excellent condition and it worked for 1 whole day. We only managed to install the AIX to that hellmachine, before it started to randomly reboot itself. At first it could sometimes run for hours without a reboot, but currently it is in endless reboot loop.

But if you are really desperate with it, I should still have the original AIX medias that came with the machine somewhere.

Looks like a nice hose winder-upper reel. Complete the transformation and post lots of pics!

Oh, that would be fantastic if I somehow got hold of that!

It's still over at the house but I'll try to haul it back to CelGen HQ sometime this week for a badly needed trardown and cleaning.

Still MCA.

I also have the media.

where did you get KDE 3.4 packages?

Luckily IRIX was never big on Java, unlike how Solaris (9+) and AIX are. (Even with Java-based system administration and maintenance tools...)
