Re: Individually Bootable VHDs for Each Game

I really like this project. As of now, I've made a little over 100 DOS VHDs using the DOSContainer script. Now, if I could only get the VHDs to load correctly using a TapTo NFC.
Has anyone had any success loading an ao486 VHD using TapTo NFCs?

Re: Individually Bootable VHDs for Each Game

I haven't had any luck getting Beneath a Steel Sky Floppy version to work. I've tried with different memory settings. Either I get an error when launching sky.exe. Error 16 bit code too large or just a frozen screen. I know the install files are good, as I was able to load the game on my DOS 7.1 and DOS 8.0 VHDs. My DOS 8 uses QEMM memory manager. ...

Re: Individually Bootable VHDs for Each Game

I managed to code the requested feature just now. Builds of the existing set of games seem to be working just fine. You can now add an additional parameter to the YAML files called "emm386params". Specify a string there, and it will be added behind EMM386.EXE/SYS. The assumption here is that you know what you're doing when you need this ...

Re: Individually Bootable VHDs for Each Game

@Bas
Call of Cthulhu - Shadow of the Comet needs DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\EMM386.exe i=e000-efff D=48
Is there a way to add custom settings to EMM386? I'm trying to add D=48 to the EMM386 line.

Thanks.

Great work with the NFC script!
Is there a way to send a command to switch ini file via NFC?
It would be great to be able to switch ini with a card if I switch TV.

Sure! Cool idea. I'll include a custom command to do that
