Can I please have some help? reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MagnusWolf133 · 2018-07-20 13:12 Greetings, I am someone who is new to BBSs (For the most part), a couple of weeks ago I made a BBS with Mystic that I mostly made available for my friends, but I plan on making it public once I get a lot more familiar with the software (Specifically to the point when I can make the BBS good enough to be considered acceptable) I decided a couple days ago I was going to install a door game on My BBS, I decided later on from that point that I wanted to install USURPER, I'm currently running my BBS from my laptop (Windows 10, 64 bit), I used to have a huge desktop, but I had a house fire in early may of this year. So I went to [https://www.usurper.info/downloads/](https://www.usurper .info/downloads/) and got the 64 bit binaries from the github download. Looked up how to install it, did so. It ran, but with one problem, the application did not show up on my client at all, It only showed up on the node window (I'm not sure if that's what you call it). I looked up how to fix the issue, but to no avail, so I spent all night trying to find a way to fix it, again to no avail. So this is why i'm posting here, as I'm not sure where else to turn for answers. Sorry if this post was painful to read. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2018-07-30 00:16 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MagnusWolf133 · 2018-07-30 00:17 Thanks a bunch for the information. I am extremely appreciative. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- YserviusPalacost · 2018-09-07 19:03 I'm not sure about doors these days, but older doors would usually communicate with the FOSSIL driver, or handle serial comms on its own. More than likely, what is happening is the door is not handling the IP communication because, well, it's not what it was written for. So your client is getting nothing, while the local console is able to execute the software. There should be a fairly standard method of doing this these days, especially in Windows. I don't run Windows myself, so I am at a loss. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arcade_bbs · 2018-11-08 23:50 I believe that the older door games (8 BIT) have a hard time running under a 64 bit environment. I run a bbs and although it will run on a 64 Bit system, I had to downgrade to a 32 Bit version of my OS in order to get the online doors to work properly. Now, as long as you stick to 32 Bit (Win 7, Win 10, 2008, 2003, etc) you should be good. I could be wrong but that is what fixed my issue with games and what the developers of WWIV recommended.
