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 |
|

DFJustin |
the msdos emulation is just files-in-a-zip |
|

|
balrog |
DFJustin: and the manifest tells dosbox which zip to mount as which drive? |
|
20:23
🔗
|
DFJustin |
it just mounts it all as c |
|

🔗
|
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. |

no, if I specify C it works |
|

|
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 ;) |
