Spacecrafts use software to provide an interface to the astronauts. There's a training version of this very software which simulates a flight. It's what you see in the OP pic. It looks like some 1337 haX0r software since it's been develeoped in the 60ies until at least 2002. Pic related, it's the credits

If it's a straight port of '60s software then I guess I'll be OK

Even an RPi will out-perform a 386DX-16 with 3 MB of RAM though, lel

>>42592845

They had their own x86 clones that they were happily churning out (including a 100% IBM compatible DOS clone) until Intel was able to sell 386s to them directly.

Mouse-enabled DOS software has been a thing since even before Windows came.

It will on a 386, but it needs a floating-point unit, so it has to either be a 386DX or you have a 387 coprocessor.

Because space travel still costs a lot of money, and we (America) would rather spend said money spying on our citizens, bringing freedom to countries that don't want it, and paying fat lazy people to sit on their asses and eat Cheetos while shooting up diabetes medication.

We can't even siphon off enough money to give our veterans proper healthcare.

Once you have a ship built, space travel is nothing but math. Older PCs are still very good at math, especially ones with floating point units. fuck, that PS/2 (and everything else in its class) could pull anything but web surfing for a casual or even business user, mine was used by a grandma until around 2000 for letter writing and before that it belonged to a chemical company and was used as a mainframe terminal.

Flying isn't the hard part, it's building the machine to do it.

>>42593436

I guess there's still a lot of it laying around, though. You never know where you'll find it.

>XT came from some old newspaper editor who was using it up until 2010
>PS/2 came from a thrift store distribution center, when I was in the right place at the right time

>>42593465
>>42593473

no NSA pls

It's also that space travel is very unprofitable and the public really isn't that motivated to push for it. They would rather see more money poured into giving veterans proper healthcare (regardless of whether they do or not) than into some nebulous "we space soon" goal with no clear benefit outside of the scientific community.

Even during the space race the public really didn't give a fuck about the moon landing and thought it was a waste of money.

They were able to make 8080 and 8088 clones in the early 80s, which went into some of their own computer designs.

But even before that, they had some imported from Romania and East Germany. Robotron XT clones were popular around then, I believe.

Pic related is the menu screen.
Each row has several tabs, selecting one og the tabs changes the view accordingly and sets the tabs at the bottom (according to the row). The leftmost button in that bottom menu (?1) changes the view to pic related. Some menus have submenus, denoted by an arrow. The rightmost button circles through the top 3 rows.

I'm guessing they have some hardware they hook up that simulates video input and gives you something to look at.

What you're using isn't a 1960's program. But indeed, they had video feeds even then. Just because MS OSes and utilities were laughably primitive for ages and ages, doesn't mean everything else was too.

Used everything from 90s BBS piracy tools to eventually PKLITE itself (has an uncompress function with -x switch). It would still function as an exe, but would dump out to an error talking about a file named NEPTUN.FNT.

Googling "NEPTUN.FNT" in case it was just some file that came with a toolkit or something and was available somewhere else. Nothing, but did find a list of all the files the hex-editing mentioned here: http://www.everfall.com/paste/id.php?38e3mlzmhmex

But it now might be safe to assume it ran on hardware faster than a 16MHz 386.

Speaking of, does anyone know when they started to use DOS for this software? I know it says September 19, 2002, but I'm sure this is a later version.

Also, this was during the last flight of the Soyuz TM's before they went to TMA's. The launch was that April and it landed in November. Might explain why we only have this version, because they were done, they released it for educational purposes.

And guess who was aboard the craft on that particular flight? Mark Shuttleworth of Canonical (Ubuntu devs)

I thought it was because the Information Display System for the console in the Soyuz was called the Neptune.

Speaking of which, I found a overview/pseudo-manual document professionally translated into English for the Neptune IDS. A couple diagram drawings of this software interface are in it.

Not really a guide to operation, but more just how the whole thing works.

Again, it's the 1990s or 1980s version of the software, not the 1960s.
It's very likely that some parts aren't fully coded by just Russians.

So obviously this used an IBM compatible PC, had a floating-point unit, and ran DOS.

But what DOS do you think it ran?
Russia-localized MS-DOS?
I think it used PTS-DOS 2000.
PhysTechSoft worked for the Russian Ministry of Defense, and used PTS-DOS on the onboard diagnostic computers on the Uragan GLONASS GPS satellites.

The Russians who were working on this didn't speak English, but those probably might have been post-USSR additions to the software by English-speakers or they must not have given a shit at that point.

>>42595355

Likely PTS-DOS or Alpha DOS (a Soviet reverse-engineered version of MS-DOS)

Later on it was probably run on Win9x systems, but in the early '90s likely on Soviet clone hardware.

If it was possible to debug the COM/IRQ IO calls in Dosbox we could probably actually wrap the program in a fake picture of the hardware, and have the buttons light up and be clickable.

But I have no clue how to approach this.
If someone could even get a hex dump of any IO happening it'd be quite easy from there to figure out the rest.

It would be too difficult because you have no working environment to sniff. You'd have to jump into the calls that check if the external hardware is functioning, and figure out what it expects, by reading the disassembled code.

Hmm my only knowledge of doing that would be OllyDbg and IDA Pro.

Since it's running in Dosbox I think that'd fail...and someone mentioned it was packed?
So opening it directly in IDA Pro would probably fail too.

That was me. Not only was I unable to unpack it, but IDA Pro returned with a bunch of bullshit.
My guess is that there was some other sort of encryption/archiving/exec format thing going on. Pic related.

Also, using BinText, I managed to pull some strings out. Still a lot of bullshit, but still easier than looking at a hex editor. My favorite is memory address 0x0000BFFE. It says "You are mudak!"

also tried removing EEPROM.DAT and EEPROMSPS.DAT and the program still loaded
>>
>>42595719
That looks like address references for encryption chunks.

It'd probably be possible to actually find the decrypted version of this in memory by hooking onto Dosbox with OllyDbg once the program is running...but getting that decrypted content to execute would be rather difficult (would probably give some more strings though).
>>
>>42595828
Yeah those files are probably only used in the situation where they need to restore EEPROM data from the original dump.
Eg. if an EEPROM update fails.

I dumped 1MB starting at DS from the running program (which was already unpacked). No idea about the packer itself. Memory spans far beyond a 16k size and I can't work out how to dump the whole memory using dosbox's builtin debugger and I don't really have the time to recompile dosbox.

Judging from:
>ACS Multi File. Ver 1.00
And various other strings, the thing uses a virtual file system once unpacked. Couldn't find any information on it, so it's probably an in-house thing.

There's a string table for the virtual file names for all the resources used by this binary, ie:
>SUSINDEX.ICO8
>FONTEDIT.PCK
I'm sure you could dump the individual files if you work out the format of the file table and the offsets.

There are raw Russian strings (Russian DOS encoding), if you understand Russian, you can read them. There isn't a single string table which again, suggests that this is a virtual operating system running on top of DOS. (if it was a single compiled binary, you'd usually have a separate, more or less solid string table).

I've done this on the 1MB DS:0 dump as opposed to INPU.EXE which is compressed.

Oh, wait, I'm stupid.

The packer leaves the data section intact and just relocates it in the right place. Code is in fact packed but you can run the program and dump 16k at CS:0 to extract the main body of the program.

Found something interesting.
You all have been running this on VGA/SVGA.

First of all, MDA and CGA do not work at all. I kinda thought they would due to having a MONO and a COLOR file.

It actually runs in EGA, sort of. Its missing the bottom portion of the screen. But unlike the VGA modes that have an amber color scheme, EGA uses a different one that actually has more variety in color. Webm related.

Should also mention this was only 4MB RAM, no himem or ems. I wonder if this can run in 640K? Figured PKLITE would need more to decompress, though.
>>
>>42599369

>>
>>42599601
An emulator, actually, so the bottom cutoff may or may not be accurate.

This emulator is Tom Walker's PCem.
Emulates older x86 PCs from the IBM 5150 with a 8088 to an Intel 430VX board.
Its kind of all over the place, but its fucking neato. Using BIOS images, you can select specific machines and video cards, even.
