Re: How To: Create an SD Card Image

Yet another question. I've been looking into .img files and according to WinZip they do support this extension but only if it's a full disk image. I've included a screen capture from Corel's website. I also found: ImgBurn still works in Windows 11 - https://www.imgburn.com/. Any feedback as to the b...

Re: How To: Create an SD Card Image

Quick question: Obviously, the X16 firmware knows how to 'decode' an .img file as shown in my previous posting. Does the X16 firmware also know how to make a .img file from a regular subdirectory?

Thank you,
Gerry

Re: How To: Create an SD Card Image

After a little searching, I modified my batch file:

cd "C:\Commander_X16\Emulation"

x16emu.exe -sdcard sdcard.img

It worked so thank you TomXP411. I've included a screen grab. My next step is to figure out how to do the same thing in the MacOS.

Thanks again,
Gerry

Re: How To: Create an SD Card Image

I'm sorry, I don't follow. The path to the desktop is there because I'm using a batch file on the desktop to launch the emulator. The C:\commander X16\Emulation\x16emu.exe is the full path in the batch file to start the emulator with the sdcard switch. So how do I set the default path when starting ...

Re: How To: Create an SD Card Image

Good afternoon, I'm still struggling with running an SDcard image on the X16 emulator. Right now I'm trying to run it under Windows 11 but I get errors. I've included an attachment of the image of the error message I'm getting but it's not very descriptive. When I catalog (F7) from the emulator, I'm...

New Plg-in Cards for the X16

I was at the VCF Dallas this weekend and when I was at the Commander X16 table, there was a couple of cards plugged into the slots of an X16 board. At that time, no one was behind the tables and I never got a chance to return. So, does anyone know what those cards were? They looked like a serial and...

Re: Norton Commander for x16

I found this in the Commander X16 Quick Intro FAQs for Setup by Voidstar: --------------------- While the inexpensive "under $10" SNES gamepads do work - I've found that a lot of them might only partially work on the X16. Specifically, for a great many of them, the SELECT button seems to b...

Re: Norton Commander for x16

I checked the SNES controllers with the Joytest.prg test program and both controllers have the select button closed all the time. That is what was causing the problem. I've contacted Amazon to return and get a refund on these crap controllers. Stopped off driving to work at Micro Tech this afternoon...

Re: Norton Commander for x16

Ha, Ha, very funny. I finally found some time to record on video my issue with UFM and my controllers. My X16 is running version #R47 and to correct myself in the video, I got the Super Controls from Amazon, not eBay. Can't add the MOV file to this post. Even though I zipped it, it's still 121 MBs i...

Re: Norton Commander for x16

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

Thank you,
