Booter disks no longer loading? Possible jrIDE issue?

Hi folks, I just recently tried playing a booter game on my jr., and much to my dismay, after the loading of the jrIDE bios and selecting the A: drive as the boot source, it comes back with only one message, "Disk Error". This happens with all of my booter disks, and it never did before. I...

Re: Getting 400k EA booters onto 360K disks

No, I meant I found the EA games I wanted, therefore not needing the images.

Getting 400k EA booters onto 360K disks

Hi guys, I've been having a hell of a time trying to figure out a way to get the 400k .img files from Demonoid's Retrograde Station to 360k disks, which apparently should be possible with the right kind of software. Well, I tried using ANADISK to format a 360k disk with 10 sectors instead of 9, only...

Re: Jingle Disk

FOUND IT! After doing some more digging I found a message board where some guy was hosting an ftp site with various vintage Christmas software. I was able to grab a copy of it from there. EDIT: I'm an idiot. That "guy" hosting the FTP site was Trixter! If you're reading this, thanks for th...

Re: Jingle Disk

Jingle Disk

Does anyone out there happen to know where I can track down the original 1985 version of Jingle disk? The only image I can seem to find online is the 1986 version, but they removed a lot of the animations from that one I'm more nostalgic for the 85 version anyway because that's the one I had growing...

Re: Definitive jr-IDE compatibility list?

In case anybody at home is keeping score, I was able to acquire a copy of DOS 3.3 off of ebay for a very reasonable price, was able to format the CF card in FAT, thereby enabling Windows 10 to see it, moved over img2dsk and the patched DOS 5 disk image, create a bootable floppy from it, and start al...
