File Transfers in Windows?

Hey all, wondering what tools you use to browse files on VHDs on the SD card and copy files over to them from another PC (since MISTERFS.EXE is unavailable using Windows 95 or 98 in the VHD).

Re: DJGPP compiled programs hang in DOS 6.22 on AO486 core

Actually, I’m not sure how long it would take these guys to get DOS extenders running. Maybe it makes sense to sit back and wait.

That would explain it, for sure. Looks like it’s back to the drawing board for my project.

DJGPP compiled programs hang in DOS 6.22 on AO486 core

Hey, so I got the DE-10 Nano and MiSTer Add-one USB. I also followed the instructions to get the AO486 core on the unit, and with the pre-build DOS 6.22 setup found here: https://www.jamesfmackenzie.com/2021/03/18/mister-ao486-core-part-7-dos-quick-start-hard-disk-image/ However, when I’ve tried to run a game I’ve building using DJGPP with Allegro,...

Re: Questions about AO486 and beyond - special arcade project

Yes to all of that. I built a Mortal Kombat 2 VHD that does everything you said and is setup to use the MisterCade Jamma and a 15Hz monitor. That image is on archive.org if you want to see how I did it. I even hid the dos boot with the Mortal Kombat CMOS boot screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kW0GeQ5_nM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-adhY...

Questions about AO486 and beyond - special arcade project

Hi all, I’ve been hearing about the MiSTer for a while, and I had a really wild idea last night just before I fell asleep. So, I’ve been wanting to do homebrew arcade development for years, but the best/easiest solution I’ve come across is the UzeBox JAMMA. The problem with that is the hardware is far too limiting for anything I want to build (and ...
