Re: XT/Tandy Archives, HDD Images, Compilations, Top 300, Play It By Year, etc.

Ok. That only works for the currently selected game, the others in the visible list would only show the folder names with the 11 char limit.

Is the MyMenu source code available somewhere?

Re: XT/Tandy Archives, HDD Images, Compilations, Top 300, Play It By Year, etc.

Very understandable. It may work, but it's at least another 12K of conventional memory occupied for a machine without UMB, and the long names can get mangled by utilities that don't check for the LFN API. Could there be an optional NAME.TXT file in each folder that could be loaded for a name substitution just like the README.ANS files are loaded? I...

Re: XT/Tandy Archives, HDD Images, Compilations, Top 300, Play It By Year, etc.

Thanks for the tips. Can I have an index file (or a metadata file in each folder) that maps folders to long titles, so the long title can be displayed?

Thanks, that thread looks helpful. Once my XT hardware is complete (one month...? I have a complex monitor mod I'm trying to do) I will see if I can script up MyMenu in an automated way.

Re: XT/Tandy Archives, HDD Images, Compilations, Top 300, Play It By Year, etc.

You're right; I got confused between the drive images and thought the larger volumes got their names truncated on my machine similar to the small one. I did not try to write the image directly; I copied the files over to new partitions on my 8GB CF card. So, those should work fine, we just need a menu system with the full names and descriptions (an...

Re: XT/Tandy Archives, HDD Images, Compilations, Top 300, Play It By Year, etc.

Hi @akeley thanks for all the work on the MS-DOS pack! Believe it or not, I am using it on a real 8088 XT PC. I can run the games fine, but I am having a lot of trouble getting an LFN TSR to work, and haven't been able to copy the files to my CF card without clobbering the long filenames. I only have 640kb (no UMB) so I would prefer not to use LFN ...

Face Buttons Not Registering in Game With PSX Core

I am trying to use the latest PSX core. I have Daemonbite USB adaptors with 8bitdo M30 2.4ghz controllers attached. The controllers work fine in other cores and in MisterFPGA menus, but in-game in PSX, the face buttons don't work. The dpad, start, and select work fine. Has anybody seen this before? Update: the face buttons don't work with my Dualse...
