  • SBBS JS Games on other BBS Software?

    From Martin Kazmaier@1:340/1101 to All on Tue May 2 23:07:00 2023
    Is this possible? I guess at the very least, I could run sbbs and just
    rlogin to it to start the games, like I'm thinking of doing with mystic to
    run mrc on ele (Like DW did with RA). I just don't see running so many bbs servers even though they'd only be locally available just to run a few more doors.

    Yes and no. There's a utility called jsdoor.exe that will run as a typical 32-bit door, however it only seems to work with LoRD (hoping someone can correct me on that). I've tested it in Mystic on Windows 10 64-bit, and it works well.

    Find it here: http://doors.bbsdev.net

    DoorParty also has a Synchronet section of games you might consider. If you can RLogin out from your Ele BBS, then this might be a decent option for you.

    Thanks! Works under Ele with Windows 7 Pro/32-bit. I can't get the
    grabbag.js igm to install, it tries to start up lord. All of the rest of the igms on github installed just fine!
