Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

libretro wrapper for DOSBox

  • To use you can either load an exe/com/bat file or a *.conf file.
  • If loading exe/com/bat the system directory will be searched for a 'dosbox.conf' file to load. If one isn't available default values will be used. This mode is equivalent to running a DOSBox binary with the specified file as the command line argument.
  • If loading a conf file DOSBox will be loaded with the options in the config file. This mode is useful if you just want to be dumped at a command prompt, but can also be used to load a game by putting commands in the autoexec section.
  • To be useful the frontend will need to have keyboard+mouse support, and all keyboard shortcuts need to be remapped.

Unsupported features:

  • Physical CD-ROMs, CD images are supported.
  • The key mapper, key remapping does not work.

TODO:

  • Explore more modern options for MIDI synth. Fluidsynth past 1.0.9 needs glib which isn't easy to build in non-standard build environments.
  • Joysticks need more testing. Flightsticks types are not implemented yet.

Building:

  • To enable MIDI you must have fluidsynth 1.09 available. Add WANT_FLUIDSYNTH=1 to the end of the make command.
  • You must edit include/config.h to set options for build platform, the supplied version is for 64-bit OSX with latest xcode and clang.
  • Build with the command 'make -f Makefile.libretro'

Notes:

  • There seems to be no trivial way to have the DOSBox core return periodically, so libco is used to enter/exit the emulator loop. This actually works better than one would expect.
  • There is no serialization support, it's not supported by DOSBox.
  • DOSBox uses 'wall time' for timing, frontend fast forward and slow motion features will have no effect.
  • To use MIDI an SF2 soundfont must be specified in the midi->midiconfig option in the config file.
