Thanks!, that's it, I've found a detailed description in "Einstein Compendium", AUTO-BOOTING chapter in page 59. In the meanwhile, as it's only to finish the toolchain with an autoexecution, I've used a MAME feature and added some autoboot commands to autoexecute my compiled program: -autoboot_delay...

That's the general crazyness about anything "retro"-related

It works!...after some fixes... Seems that with my Linux (yes, this time I'm using Linux) setup has some compatibility problems with the sources of dsktool and I've been forced to make some changes. I'm using latest Linux Mint (Ubuntu Bionic based) with x64 GCC 7.5.0 and seems that the support of C+...

Cool!, I'll try it again and report back ASAP.

Attached files to test the tool:
The blank DSK and the COM that I'm trying to insert.

Sure, this is my test rigs: - Windows 10 64bit, precompiled bin "dsktool.exe" that seems to work (at least it reports the usage and "dir" command works over a image). - Windows 8.1 64bit, same dsktool.exe. I'll send you my test dsk images; but my first try has been with the "XTAL205_40TSS.DSK" image...

Well, here's my first report. I've been trying to insert a compiled binary (as *.com file) into a DSK, without success. I'm using an empty sample DSK from EDIP and also a known working DSK with already some files into it. Of course the COM file is named following the 8.3 standard and it's not duplic...

That's really cool!. Indeed, paired with a configurable editor like Notepad++ (or whatever programmer's editor you use) it's an invaluable tool for cross-developers.

Thanks!

Btw, I've uploaded the first public release of the AGD MSX version to my GitHub account; so if anyone feels brave and wants to take a peek to the engine code and think about porting it to Einstein, please do it!
