Sdltrs rom files5/26/2023 It makes it impossible to tell who's who in a thread. I will delete comments containing profanity on a case-by-case basis.ģ. I don't want my blog flagged by too many filters. Please avoid profanity and vulgar language. (For instance, that GOG is selling the particular game I'm playing is relevant that Steam is having a sale this week on other games is not.) This also includes user names that link to advertising.Ģ. Do not link to any commercial entities, including Kickstarter campaigns, unless they're directly relevant to the material in the associated blog posting. I welcome all comments about the material in this blog, and I generally do not censor them. When it comes to TRS-80 emulation I'm basically a monkey who figured out how to make fire and is doing my best to explain how it works. I could be completely wrong about everything I just said. The dmk file I used from the above link isn't an authentic copy, but rather it's a disk image containing the BASIC files plus the TRS-80 equivalent of autoexec.bat configured to load them for you. The manual for Reign of the Red Dragon on MOCAGH says you can just boot the disk in drive 0 and start playing, but that won't work if you just have BASIC files on a floppy disk. That's great if you have a way of getting them onto a floppy disk and know how to make a real TRS-80 read them, but not so great if you just want to play the games on an emulator. Apple II games come on bootable DSK and WOZ files, but TRS-80 games are often just distributed as loose BASIC files. TRS-80 games are really inconsistent and I think a big part of the problem is how they're distributed.
