Commander X16

Wow, that really makes for a nice way to visualize what's happening in real time!

Great job!

That's pretty clever. It might be useful to do something like show the CPU status registers on the right side of the screen, like: LDA #80 ; A=80 X=00 Y=00 P=N------- ASL ; A=00 X=00 Y=00 P=-------C And if the operation writes to memory, maybe show a dump of the area surrounding the operation: STA $...

I mean, if the thump fits....

I apologize for my rudimentary question. What kind of program file is AUTOBOOT.X16? I'm thinking you mean like the Config.sys or Autoexec.bat files from the IBM PC DOS world. Is the AUTOBOOT.X16 a text or bat file that when added to the root directory of the SD Card, will run the listed commands? T...

Just to let you know Tom, the -fsroot switch doesn't work in the Mac emulator. According to the docs, the -fsroot defaults to the x16emu directory and when I run the emulator with that switch it complains that it failed to resolve the argument to -fsroot. How is the directory name for the DOS files...

Thank you so much for your answer. I will try your solution this afternoon. As I said before, there's a lot of information on this site. Where can I find documentation on the emulators along with the switch options? I don't want to burn you out asking a thousand minor questions when I want to use t...

Very nice! This is going to make a lot of people happy.

I'm not communicating my issue very well. Using the -sdcard switch with the Mac x16emu emulator requires a .img (or apparently a .VHD) file which is a image of the sdcard. No, it doesn't. That's just one way to do it, and it's the worst way. The only reason to use an .img file is if you're exercisi...

Thank you for your time and answers. That worked for me, I got the x16emu to run with the sdcard.img image and it loaded. That image is blank with no files. So the next questions; where do I find the latest .img file with files or how do I turn the latest SDcard_root subdirectory into an .img file ...

The SD card image included with the emulator has no relationship to the SD Card Starter kit you downloaded. IIRC, it's basically a "blank disk" that you can use for whatever. Also, you need to actually hook up the image file by using the -sdcard command line option. I haven't bothered with...
