• 64b MS-Dos into war 64b by Desire [web]
• Seriously, this is amazing. I would have said "Not possible". And I would have been flat-out wrong. Kudos maximus. This code appears to break the Shannon limit or something like that. In 64 bytes, he creates a believable 3D world-sim, which has recognizable context, a realistic moving 3D ground-image, and acoustical background noise that supports the realism & emotional insertion that makes a pilot in a flight simulator sweat and squirm when you start throwing system failures at him. All this in sixty-four bytes.

• 64b MS-Dos Essence 64b by Desire [web]
• This code is absolute amazing. Downloaded both ESSENCE and INTO_WAR and have both running on Windows box and Macbook. Needs the MIDI UART emualtor to work on LINUX I guess. (In Linux boxes, I get video - wth HellMood's Dosbox-0.74.conf file, but can't get audio to work.) The helicopter sound in the IN2WAR64.COM is excellent. Slick trick. I built a math-hacked (fixed) version of DOSbox & put it up on Google's Playstore a few years back - it was called gDOSbox, but Google kicked all my stuff (which was free!) off the Playstore. Not sure if the old gDOSbox on Android supports MIDI, but I will try it. I'll need to recompile to use HellMood's DOSbox .conf file. If you try without his .conf, you just get pixel-smear. I downloaded the DOSbox-0.74-3 source for the Linux boxes, and built it - both on 32-bit CentOS-6 and 64-bit CentOS-7, just to try this stuff. Video works, as mentioned).
  
  For those with standard DOSbox-0.74 on Window or MacOS, you should have MIDI emulator built in (so his UART tweaks should let the sound be heard). To start DOSbox with HellMood's .conf:
  
  On Mac: open -a DOSBox --args -conf /Users/<yourID>/<yourDIR>/essence/dosbox-0.74.conf
  
  On Windows: (really old-school Toshiba Multi-media laptop, running WinXP)
  "\program files\dosbox-0.74\dosbox" -noconsole -conf "\<yourDirectory>\essence\dosbox-0.74.conf"
  
  When DOSbox starts, you need to "mount c /<yourDirectory>" and then
  C:, and nav to whereever you put ESSENCE and INTO_WAR.
  
  If you got the right .conf, you will see the "** HellMoods Config ** " message when DOSbox starts.
  Hint: <for folks with no clue about DOSbox> Use <ALT enter> to toggle fullscreen off and on, and <CTRL-F9> to end the simulation.
  
  This is impressive work. I would have bet it was not possible,and I would have lost the bet! Thanx for posting the code.
  Anyone know what MIDI emulator / driver I need to get sound on a Linux box?
