Commander X16

Yes I will when I get some time. I'll try to do it tonight.

Thank you,

I see. That makes sense as the development of software for the X16 is very organic, as in it's developed on an as needed basis. I'd like to shift gears for a moment. I've loaded and run UFM on my real X16 and it works as described. I noticed that the UFM supports an SNES style game controller in por...

I'm new here and I didn't have much experience with Norton software. What about XTree as a model for thumbing through the X16 SD card? I really liked it's interface and I think there's a newer version available now. If this has already been considered and discarded, then I apologize for repeating it...

Thanks Voidstar, That gives me a start on trying to figure out how to do what I want. Specifically, as I've searched this site for information on AUTOBOOT.X16, A consistent suggestion I've seen is renaming the program you want to run "AUTOBOOT.X16" so it will run at the end of the boot pro...

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? Th...

Great intro to the Commander X16 personal computer. If I may suggest, I'm trying to figure out how the AUTOBOOT.X16 and the AUTOEXEC.X16 files work. I've experimented a bit with the boot file when making changes through the Menu option. But when I rebooted the X16, the x16 boot screen header disappe...

Okay, I think I figured some of this out. I apologize for taking longer than expected to update my post. Next, there are two issues. First, the full path for the DOS files directed by fsroot switch needs to be defined. Trying to append onto the emulator's directory doesn't work. It took some testing...

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 th...

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. The official release of the latest SD card zip file decompresses to a root directory with the rest of the real files organized i...
