Re: Fixed size and already partitioned VHDs here!

If you're having issues making a VHD you can try these commands in diskpart https://github.com/madelk/expandziptovh ... s.ps1#L158

Re: Individually Bootable VHDs for Each Game

I was able to get my scripts to a pretty good state so now they are mostly just per game configs being written. I really didn't expect some of these games to launch at all, or at least to run very poorly. But Dark Forces and Theme Hospital? Wow

I just updated them quite a lot tonight. I have a note in the Readme about the boot disk I'm using "8-gb-dos-71-qemm.-7z". I believe I have the scripts working f...

Turning something so complex into something that is so plug and play that you pick your game from the Mister menu and it just boots reliably. Having it work like other hdd based Mister cores would be very cool too, but there just isn't enough s...

Re: Individually Bootable VHDs for Each Game

There's so much temperamental stuff with these old games that I figure a good st...
