Gorgeous na Shock!<a href="https://mas.to/@nemo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nemo</a> Unfortunately, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InputLeap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InputLeap</a> has dropped official support for 32-bit platforms and talking to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Barrier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Barrier</a> or <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Synergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Synergy</a>. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DeskFlow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeskFlow</a> is an alternative that adds support for newer technologies like Wayland while maintaining compatibility with legacy Barrier and Synergy clients so you can still interact with older hardware.And if your hardware is *really* old, you may be interested in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/minput_hop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minput_hop</a> : <a href="https://github.com/indigoparadox/minput-hop" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/indigoparadox/minput-hop</a> 😌

Gorgeous na Shock!The next step after <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/minput_hop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minput_hop</a> is to design a hardware dongle that speaks the Synergy protocol and acts like a USB or PS/2 mouse.

Gorgeous na Shock!I've been using <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/minput_hop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minput_hop</a> on my 486 with Windows 3.1 and Trumpet Winsock 3 and... with the limitations what they are, it works as well as can be expected (or better, depending on how pessimist- I mean realistic you are)!

Gorgeous na Shock!The whole reason I'd been working on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/minput_hop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minput_hop</a> recently is because my Teknor SBC (and my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Dolch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dolch</a>, for that matter,) doesn't have a PS/2 mouse port, so I had to dig out the serial mice I had and try to get those to work, which I couldn't (but it's been years). I have some more somewhere, I'm pretty sure. I don't want to buy one off ebay. Windows says it supports "Genius" or "Mouse Systems," and the mouse I found as a n "MS/AM" switch, and Google is... not helpful.

Gorgeous na Shock!After a six-month hiatus, I finally managed to bring out something I wasn't sure was possible: a kinda workable release of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/minput_hop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minput_hop</a> (a play on Input Leap, if you didn't notice).This will let you use a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Windows95" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows95</a> / <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Windows3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows3</a> PC as a client for your <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Synergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Synergy</a> / <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Barrier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Barrier</a> / <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InputLeap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InputLeap</a> server. In theory. I only really tested with Barrier and a VM so far, so maybe it's totally broken!But I figured it I didn't cut a release this weekend, it wouldn't happen for long. 😌 <a href="https://github.com/indigoparadox/minput-hop/releases/tag/0.24.1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/indigoparadox/minput-hop/releases/tag/0.24.1</a>

Gorgeous na Shock!I don't think there's a good way to programmatically move the mouse e.g. mouse_event or keybd_event in Win16. I might have to write a custom mouse driver that can be hooked by <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/minput_hop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minput_hop</a> or something.Windows 95 works great, tho! 😌

Gorgeous na Shock!Journal for this evening in case power goes out: Fixed some bugs and added low(er)-res options to vbray.Also seem to have fixed the long-standing jumbled packets causing a disconnect-every-so-often issue with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/minput_hop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minput_hop</a> by adding a second packet buffer that the recv buffer appends to the end to. Nothing fancy like a ring buffer, but keeping it simpler seems to have helped. Probably needs optimizing, now, since it's aimed at the 486. Maybe DOS on worse platforms isn't an impossible dream!
