Coming along nicely, the playable content for the AO486 core. I've been trying both sorts of ways, the 0mhz where everything is done, or the dostainer way which I'm still having problems with. It's a case of use it or lose it, I can't remember all the dos stuff from 30+ years ago, despite even today using windows 11, using the cmd line a lot!!
Are you having a problem loading and running the DOSContainer games or having an issue creating your own DOSContainer games? It's true for me to use it or lose it. ;)
It is rather interesting to watch how style from new time and technologies is applied to old tools. Music, animations, narrative style, effects. Not even talking about code practices. Colours, pixels, art style - all this is basically a framework left by technology limitations of past. Not even needed to be done with old tools. It's constraints to work on forms and shapes.
Been looking at this C64 afapter, but I still dont unserstand the main purpose of the adapter. Mister is made to be space convenient by just loading games from the SD CARD, so why have a factory dosk drive eat up more space? ...am i missing something here??
It has been so long I can't remember. I know I did order the english patch back when they were charging for it. Now it's free. www.project-melancholia.org/downloads.html
HAve you seen someone has done XP to run on a 486? It'll take 2 hours to install, but for the fun of it, it's on the archive. Be still worth seeing on Mister just for fun!
I couldn't get it to work on MiSTer. I get a BSOD while booting up. I saw on Discord someone else tried and also getting a BSOD. :( Hopefully, someone can figure it out. I'd like to see it working on MiSTer.
Something a bit fishy here tho. ScummVM isn't supposed to recognize any cd-rom version as "uncensored". and those IMD files don't magically let Doralice enter the shower in the CD version anyway. Genuinely puzzled at what's going on here
I saw that you have Qbee on your MiSTer vhd. I’m looking for this game for a long time - it is not available anymore. Would it be possible to contact me because of this?
@yopachi discovered dialing out from NeoHabitat on the MiSTer is broken. Flandango from the MiSTer forum found a workaround that works. misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?p=84843#p84843
It's been a long time since I logged in. According to the Wiki it looks like the address changed to habitat.themade.org:1986 I updated the video description.
@@NML32Oh! I'll try that address instead. The menu buttons have moved around a bit since you made this guide. I'll flip switches like a monkey until it works
@@NML32I get a dial tone using this guide but I don't seem to spawn. it hangs on the lucasfilms screen after flipping the disk: **NEO-HABITAT on MiSTer C64 Core** 1. Set system modem to 1200 baud. 2. Save settings and reset core. 3. Check whether settings are still correct, set C64 UART to RS232. 4. Insert and load Habitat floppy disk 1 5. Press F7 for Terminal 6. Enter atdtXX.XX.XX:1986 7. Press F12 for OSD menu and set C64 UART to joystick 8. Modem dial-in tones can be heard 9. Set C64 UART back to RS232 10. Press ESC to exit Terminal 11. Enter user name and press Enter 12. When Habitat prompts you to press "ALT-N", press F12 into the OSD and insert the second side of the disk 13. Exit OSD and simply press a button 14. Neohabitat is loading.
@@yopachi It's the Same for me. I wonder if something has changed with the disk drive. There was a time when disk #2 wouldn't load, and then there was an update to the disk drive code that fixed something so that disk #2 would fully load. I wonder what changed.
I saw Pixel Cherry Ninja video today about the new 0mhz vhd collection and finally inspired me to get into vhd. Wondering where you got your files is there a larger community project on them somewhere called something different ?
I'm building my VHDs using a script from the DOS container project created by BAS (links in the description). I have a link in the description to my VHDs.
If you want me to take this emulator serious you have to document how to set it up. WHERE does the ROM goes, and WHAT ROM. If there are at least 3 versions of the TRS-80, 2 levels, which one is this emulator? Why isn't the TRS-80 DOS on a ROM? So when it boots up, Drive 0 has to have a DOS disk? What DOS disk? Now to run a personal disk with programs, do I need to eject the DOS disk and insert the program disk. Are the DOS commands lost, then? What are the minimum files I need to just get this emulator to boot up with a flashing prompt?
At what point does the mouse lock up? I installed the game from floppy disk and didn't experience any lockups. Update: It looks like Sound Blaster and Thunder Board lock up the mouse.
I used the Command & Conquer from the Top 300 vhd. I couldn't get the game to install from CD on the ao486 core. I didn't do much game play so let me know how it goes.
@@NML32 Thanks for makinge the VHD. Unfortunately it suffers from the same bug the Top300 Version has. When you scroll the landscape by moving the mouse to the edge of the screen AND use modifier keys like CTRL, the mouse sticks to the edge and becomes unusable.
Yes, I see what you mean. This almost seems like a core issue. I tried a few different mouse drivers, and they all seem to act the same. Has a bug report been created on GitHub?
Defo running to fast. I’ve been playing this on the ExoDOS v6 build on PC recently and compared it to the Amiga version on Mister. Have you tried changing the emulated clock speed in the core?
Yes! 1982! I remember. Great graphics and gameplay for an Atari 2600 game (we just called the system the Atari in those days - nobody called it the 2600 - that was years later).
The Coco computers were really frustrating about how they lacked a lot of simple processing ability that other home computers at the time possessed. But I learned a lot having to write all the low level stuff myself instead of depending on hardware capability. Dungeons of Daggorath was still impressive, though. What it did, it did amazingly well.
Please tell me how you got this to work? I’ve got a mister FPGA , I’ve got an audio in port, I’ve got a mono cassette player but can’t seem to work out the setting to get it to work
I've only had luck with a few tapes. More failures than successes. :( Hopefully, someday, someone will create an interface for MiSTer so we can use a real Datasette. My Ultimate 64 FPGA supports a real Datasette, so I guess there is hope for the MiSTer.
Excellent comparison. I remember playing this game after my brother told me about it. He heard about it on a morning radio show "Kevin and Bean" on KROQ in LA. I'm surprised I never sprang for a sound card back then.
