Any other advantage to 4DOS? Does it increase compatibility with any games?

Looks like Warcraft II doesn't like my D: CD drive hack. Just change the drive letter in the configs to F:\ and it will work. Here is a video on the process and changes you need to make. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fsm_Z25sb9o&feature=youtu.be Don't just change the war2.ini in the base director...

I think it's cool and getting any hardware interface to fpga is fun! I know I have a few floppies I would get out just to see them load, even if my primary usage would be images.

Stunts works fine with a joystick using the 300 pack. in game, go to Options, driving input device, select joystick.

BBond built a new version of the TDL interface that allows for Joystick control but there are many other things that will need changed and you are going to be limited to what games will work if they don't support Joysticks natively. There is an option for mapping keys to joystick that you can do whi...

Anybody else having problems with launching Star Wars: X-Wing from Within TDL? I am using the EMM386 memory selection, and select the game from TDL, the launch the game normally by selecting 1, select Sound Blaster, then it immediacy black screens and sends me back to TDL. No matter which sound opt...

Volt meter handy?

It's not bad, it's not great either.

This is a good one. Works great on my Sony Trinitron CRT and my NEC MultiSync XPe.

I did a 14 hour stream on all those kind of changes if you are really really bored, you can see the changes I had to make. Still the plan is to not require any of that and feed those changes back to the Converter scripts. Haven´t everyone here seen it already :?: :roll: You would think that huh!

Seems you made it use regular Sound Blaster, but with IRQ 7? Every other game I play with AO486 use IRQ 5. Maybe you changed something about your sound card settings, or is it something to do with this game specifically? I found the point in the video where you made the working config: https://yout...

It's random issues still. Top ones for me when going through the 300 games I test: 1. game config files that are specific names in the games folders that still tie to a C:\GAMEFOLDER so you have to edit the cfg, ini, etc in the directory and change it to E:\GAMES\...\...\. 2. SB16/ASP is usually the...

Redbook is where games had audio tracks on the CD's that are referenced in the cue file. Those won't play audio if they are referenced but the games should still play, you just might have silent audio tracks. Also, fyi, cue / img files should work fine on the mister. I've tested many combo's of iso,...

I'm confused on what you are doing. Are you converting redbook cd's to some other format? What's wrong with 7th guest? I've been playing that pretty consistently.

I couldn't get 11th hour going so will be interested in if you do.

Shot in the dark, try this "case" on your folder names: \\mister\fat\games\Ao486\cd

you dont need to change the cd format any longer with the latest updates to main. This commit fixed that. All CD's should now work out of the box. https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_Mi ... 1922f36b9b

It should just barely fit so I will run through it this weekend. There are still going to be many script issues that need to be back ported into the converter and that is on me to do. I first need to finish the scripts that allow for uploading changes and pulling down changes to the packs so people ...

ExoConverter will do the stubs for you now too, fyi. So basically you only have to create the VHD like above, verify the TDL.ini is set to e:\games and copy it. Then fix a lot of games that don't work

@buttersoft, yes exactly. 1. The one thing I do that is a bit difficult to understand is there are two partitions not one on the second large VHD. The reason I do this is so that DOS will assign a drive letter to it at D:. So C: is always the OS disk and can be swapped out by people if they want dif...

are you using /games/ao486/cd/ or /ao486/cd/? There is a bug where cd's wont mount if you are using /ao486/ as the root folder. make sure your path to the cd's is exactly /games/ao486/cd/gamefolder/gamecd.cue;iso;bin Also, you can't have an ao486 on your sdcard and the harddrive at the same time. re...

If you create a new stub exe with something predictable (game32.exe) we can add a launch option to the run.bat file that allows for a dos32a option instead of dos4gw. So both options would be there.

I can enrich the format of the csv file in my tool with your infos to help keep or pass games during conversion if needed

You are the one who made the conversion tool for the ExoDOS collection?

He is! https://github.com/Voljega/ExoDOSConverter it's in the name

Thanks for your hard work, what a nice collection. I am having trouble getting Descent and Descent II to run with a sound canvas. It works fine with other games like Doom or the Sierra adventures, so it is not a problem in general. Descent crashes when I choose the canvas option and Descent II has ...

@ flynnsbit, I am having a lot of fun in playing all my favourite old windows games! I have been testing many games and they all worked straight out of the box! Just to report something that perhaps is meant to be working like that. Anyways, every time I reboot the Mister I get an error message as ...
