In reply to bbslovag.

I didn’t think about checking for differences programmatically. I actually cheated and increased the steps so I could manually copy in more of the same for some emphasis, like where I got shot in the back in the next post…. Lol

I suppose this also opens up allowing various chess engines to play each other as well.. Sargon always did kill me, maybe pit battle chess against it.

Noice! Anyway, decades ago I ve made a X screengrabber script for bochs to get illustrations for the aixps2-in-bochs.txt
Yes, txt :P. Lossless pics had been grabbed, then uniq’d upon md5sums, and then optionally gif’ed some in other projects. But in this particular case, also wrote a png2txt for the two used video modes. the results are now history, see here:

(a short but useful summary of this is here: https://sites.google.com/site/rhdisk0/unix/aix/aixps2 )

@neozeed: still no textmode grabbing? it would be handy instead of this workaround:

For a bonus, I’ve saved my second ever hack from 1990: reversi.exe can be beaten in easiest mode with the same steps! Gif’d. Want some?
