20:15 🔗 balrog Is there a way to look at the manifest/metadata for an Internet Archive Software Library title?
20:16 🔗 balrog I'm trying to get https://archive.org/details/msdos_Math_Blaster_1986 working but it needs the data disk...
20:18 🔗 balrog or is multiple disks still WIP?
20:19 🔗 balrog I should set up Emularity locally and poke at it
20:23 🔗 DFJustin the msdos emulation is just files-in-a-zip
20:23 🔗 balrog DFJustin: and the manifest tells dosbox which zip to mount as which drive?
20:23 🔗 DFJustin it just mounts it all as c
20:23 🔗 balrog ah :|
20:23 🔗 balrog yeah that's the problem here
20:24 🔗 balrog math blaster expects the data disk to be a second one. I think.
20:24 🔗 balrog let me see
20:24 🔗 Vito` no, if I specify C it works
20:24 🔗 balrog Vito`: I was going to test that
20:24 🔗 Vito` oh, no, the games fail eventually
20:24 🔗 DFJustin there is a field to specify arbitrary command line parameters to dosbox so you can screw around
20:25 🔗 balrog yeah, they fail
20:25 🔗 balrog the game originally came on multiple disks
20:43 🔗 balrog okay this should be easy enough to poke at ;)
