Post Questions, Game issues, Fixes you did to the pack to correct something *(Problem games are flagged with hearts)
39 games flagged in the original 300 pack as not working, 4 have been fixed but not rolled out yet.
Intro to how these packs are setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPAgOff ... e=youtu.be. You should watch this...
Current games not working or with game breaking issues (sound distortion) have been flagged in the interface as a favorite (❤) or (!) if you ran the update script in post #2: 35
Based on the awesome eXoDOS Project. More info here: https://www.retro-exo.com/exodos.html
This is a fully tested collection of the Top 300 DOS games for the AO486 Core on the MiSTer FPGA converted from eXoDOS v5. The full pack with CDs (140) and Floppy games included is 66GB zipped and 89GB unzipped. It includes a curated list of multiple "Top 100 DOS Games lists" from the internet to make up the 300 games in the collection. There are a good range of games through the years. Days of work has been put into this collection to verify each game for maximum compatibility. Soundblaster is the default unless audio worked by default out of the eXoDOS v5 collection. Games are flagged on launch if they require a different memory manager. CD's will auto mount on launch.
This is the entire end-to-end pack with everything you need (cd, floppy, and vhd images.) You must set IDE 0-0 Boot VHD as your Primary and IDE 0-1 Top 300 VHD as your secondary. The CD and floppy folders need to be copied into your /games/AO486/ folder on the mister drive you are using for the core (SD or SSD/HDD)
Any games that I could not get working are flagged with hearts in the Launcher.
FAQ:
Favorites
There are 39 games flagged as Non-Working (with Hearts). I used the favorites flag as NON-WORKING in this pack so anything with a heart has issues. I found fixes for BioForge (1995) and PGA Tour Golf 486 (1994) since creating this pack and will work on an update script to fix them.
Memory choices
HIMEM should be the default choice. I added a warning to the launch of any games that require something different, simply press CTRL-ALT-DEL when you see that message, pick the memory manager it suggested, and go right back and launch that same game. It takes literally a second on the mister.
Updates
There will be an update process for packs that will allow for fixes to cfg;ini;bat;run scripts without having to download the entire packs. These update packs will be very small. More to come.
But Why did you do this?
I want more people to be able to enjoy DOS games while not having to know DOS. We needed a good all-around games pack that was a good entry point to DOS without being massive. It needed to include everything end to end to get you going (e.g. CD images)
I needed to run through the entire end to end process of converting games from eXODOSv5 to MiSTer's AO486 core so that I could find out where all the automation issues are in the conversion. I randomly picked 300 games from the Top 100 DOS games lists on the internet to create this pack. It has no thought put into it besides that. Each game has been tested and an attempt was made to correct it.
If you would like to watch my entire testing of these games and the manual changes/troubleshooting over the 14 hour journey you can watch it in the below links. You would be crazy to do that, what is more useful is quickly jumping to a specific point in the video as I went in order. If you want to see what I did to fix command and conquer, you can just jump to the part in the video when I am in the "C's" and pretty quickly get to command and conquer and then watch me figure out the issue and solve it.
