  • 64-bit doors?

    From Alonzo@21:1/130 to All on Tue Sep 12 11:23:09 2023
    I am trying to set up some doors on my board, but I am
    running on Windows, 64-bit software. I can find plenty of
    doors that will work on Windows 32-bit, but not 64-bit.
    Are there any doors available that will work with what
    I have, or is there a work-around?

    I am aslo interested in any door games that I can get to
    run. Python, MPL, or whatever. I am new to Mystic, so
    I would need to know the setup info for the door on
    Mystic.
    Thanks!

    There are really no 64 bit doors. The majority of all doors at 16 bit, you can run them on the 64 bit Mystic, you would need to google NTVDM 64 bit and install that to allow you to run them in Windows 64bit. I haven't used it myself as I run a 32bit Win10 setup for my Door Server on Synchronet.. Others though have used it and from what I have ready it works pretty well...

    There's a custom NTVDM64 library that you can give a try, there's been work to integrate with Synchronet, but would be surprised if there isn't a howto for Mystic as well.
