There is a new BBS program called MYSTIC which is still being developed,
supports various OS's, including pi (BTW, there is a new pi system out called
Banana pi, dual core, 1gb, link later). I've been thinking of starting up a pc
based BBS in lieu of a Commodore BBS only because I do not have any issues with
sacrafficing a PC in terms of wear and tear, where-as I feel very protective
over my IEEE drives as they can not be replaced easily.
Rob does bring up a good idea, a PI based BBS, you can by a pi for about $60,
and this new Banana pi has got my attention.Then again, a used PC (for BBS use)
can be bought for about the same price.
I keep flip flopping back and forth, even settled in the middle to make both,
then my time computer gets lost with family/kids, and I forget about what I had
thought!
In terms of Vice BBS, I have seen Color64 bbs's apparently emulated in Vice,
but have not had any success myself. My personal issues I think are with the
images I am using. I copied all the important files to .d81, but color won't
boot. If I leave it in .d64 all is fine. Haven't gone past this point though,
so no idea if it actually works.
Anyways...some links....Mystic BBS:http://mysticbbs.com/features.html

And that's it for now!

I've been pondering the BBS software ported for raspberry pi. I guess
equivalent for that would be Dark star BBS running on a D64TV? Is that
possible?

Dan,
Running a BBS in VICE (one that relies on user port RS-232 anyway) currently is
just not technically possible. The carrier detect signal does not function
properly on the virtual user port in VICE and therefore means BBS's can't work
properly. Believe me, I've been trying for years. When you actually get into
the code that implements the user port RS-232 in VICE you'll understand that
the fact it works at all is surprising.

Ian posted a cracked version? where?someone provide a link or details
my ultimate goal is to somehow get a BBS working under an emulatorwithout
needing a real c64, drive or modem.
and preferrably on linux, or Mac. only windows if I can get it running with
Parallels on Mac.
a completely virtual online c64 bbs would be great

I second Dan's motion! A collection of Darkstar 88 and its modules would be
nice. I know Ian C has released a cracked version of 3.1, but 88 would be nice.
I exchanged a few emails with Ian a while ago, and he mentioned that the copy
protection on Darkstar was pretty tough. He does have DS BBS88 but has yet to
crack it (as of a few years ago). Still, one can dream....
Hate to single someone out on here, but if Aaron Bochar is reading this, do you
have DSBBS88 in your collection? Aaron ran quite a few Darkstar BBS's back in
the day, and I know he is on this email list. He mentioned (back in 88) that he
might get DSBBS88, but I haven't asked him since. Ok, so it took me 27 years to
ask, never said I was quick! :-)
In the mean time, here is a link to 3.1http://csdb.dk/release/?id=47911
And a youtube/tpug video of Ian and 3.1https://www.youtube.com/resu
lts?search_query=darkstar+bbs
I think I'll start and try to get this to work under vice, I know it won't work
with telnet servers at 1200, 300 I think works though.
Michael.
