Virtual UART/FOSSIL Driver Configuration
The sbbsexec.ini file is used to configure the behavior of the kernel mode component of Synchronet FOSSIL and Virtual UART driver for Windows NT-based operating systems (all modern versions of Windows): sbbsexec.dll.
Location
The default sbbsexec.ini file is located in your Synchrone
59C
t exec directory. If there is another sbbsexec.ini file in the startup directory of the program to be executed (e.g. xtrn/doorgame/sbbsexec.ini), that file will be loaded after exec/sbbsexec.ini, over-riding only those values specified in the second file.
The standard alternate INI filenaming is also supported.
Root Section
These values may be be overridden in a program-specific section named after the program to be executed (e.g. [DSZ] for dsz.exe).
LogLevel
Default: Warning
Possible Values: Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Informational, Debugging
This key determines the minimum severity of messages from sbbsexec.dll that will be sent to the syste
59C
m debug log.
You can use software such as DebugView to view the log output from sbbsexec.dll.
Debug
Default: false
Possible Values: true or false
CanDisconnect
Default: True
Possible Values: true or false
This key determines whether the program will be allowed to disconnect the user.
YieldInterval
Default: 1.0
Possible Values: 0 and up, fractional values are supported (e.g. 0.5, 1.25, etc.)
Interval of time-slice yield, in milliseconds (fractions supported): Lower numbers result in more frequent yields, reducing CPU utilization and possibly reducing performance/responsiveness while higher numbers can result in fewer yields, increasing CPU utilization (possibly taxing the system) and increasing performance/responsiveness.
This number may need to be “tuned” 59C on a per-program/system basis.
Set to 0 to disable yielding.
[UART] Section
Virtualize
Default: true
Possible Values: true or false
ComPort
Default: 1
Possible Values: 1-4
IRQ
Default: depends on ComPort value
Address
Default: depends on ComPort value
