⚠️ Call to action: Use your retro IBM-compatible PCs to help the MegaZeux DOS port! ⚠️In the late 90s/early 00s, MegaZeux introduced a mode called "Super MegaZeux": using an undefined behaviour of enabling 256-color VGA mode in text mode, it allowed the use of 256 colors on some graphics chipsets.We'd like to know which graphics chipsets these are. Legacy compatibility lists are very limited and of poor quality, so we're building a new one. Here's how you can help:1. Get your retro PCs out. The only requirement is a VGA-compatible graphics chipset; any 8086+ laptops and desktops are supported otherwise.2. Download and run SMZXTEST.EXE from https://asie.pl/files/smzxtest.zip3. Take a photo of the screen! (If you want, take another photo after pressing A to see if an alternate undefined mode works better on your machine.)4. Reply with the photos and a description of the machine (which graphics chipset/card it uses; for laptops, a model of the laptop is also welcome).5. Once verified, I'll add it to the list at https://www.digitalmzx.com/wiki/Super_MegaZeux#CompatibilityThank you in advance and good luck!

@asie Do you still need submissions? I have a 386 IBM PS/1, and a Pentium 2 IBM ThinkPad x390 I can dig out, should you need me to...

@stenpett@mstdn.games We already have plenty of machines, but a confirmed result from an official IBM machine would always be welcome.Feel free to consult with https://www.digitalmzx.com/wiki/Super_MegaZeux#Compatibility if your hardware is on the list! But don't feel pushed to contribute - do it only if you feel like it.

@asie I see the ThinkPad's GPU is listed in the "unsupported" category, so I'll give it a spin on my PS/1 as soon as possible (probably tomorrow)

@magnetic_tape@infosec.exchange Works fine here, so I'm not sure what's up.

@magnetic_tape@infosec.exchange Nitter? For a self-hosted wiki?

@magnetic_tape@infosec.exchange Why do you have a nitter.net domain in the link if the link goes to digitalmzx.com?... Do you have a "*x.com" regex set up?

@asieIn the post I see a nitter.net link but no digitalmzx.com (I've searched this website and found the wiki btw). Don't you see a nitter.net link in the toot?And I have many filters about x.com yeah, that could be it.

@magnetic_tape@infosec.exchange No, I don't see a Nitter link in the toot, FWIW.

@asieThat was the filter of my client (not the one of my adblocker) which has a bug and match *x.com instead of *.x.com
