trying to get my ancient GB GameJack from 1999 to work on a modern computer is a fail
oldest thing I've got now is a P4 running XP and even in DOS it won't talk to the gamejack
I'm thinking since it's a DOS program in the first place the CPU is too fast for it to work
this is what I get for throwing away that old Pentium II laptop
I need to keep at least one working 90s laptop around that has soundblaster native support in DOS
sorry I forgot to mention the GB gamejack is a programmable ROM writer
I had a 32 megabit cartridge and you could dump all the LEGAL carts you owned to ROM files and then combine and re-upload them to this cart
the BIOS on the cart lets you pick the game to load when firing the gameboy up
Vmware
best bet I reckon

i tried a VM running win98 and it didn't work either
but I got a thinkpad from 99 that i'll be trying next week, should work on it no problem
@Matthew looks like shit!!
up grade your graphics kiddo!!!
hah
You sure you mounted it properly before opening the guest os
yeah direct hardware mapping
did I mention this thing needs an ECP parallel port
it's possible one of these CPU slowdown programs might make it work
the comms program is DOS but there's a GUI to launch it
wonder if there's a modern version of this kind of thing that just uses an SD card
since it can be used illegally nintendo has likely sued everyone out of the business
or just gotten it banned on ebay and amazon
if I can get it to work i can sell it on ebay and just buy a raspi boy
Follow me on twitter
ok
mental illness...
Wait
Why don't you just run dos native
It's a late release to just be for dos but
I dunno
I did
booted it off a DOS USB stick with the gamejack program on it
I think a pentium 4 is too fast for it
some digging online hinted that it's ability to transfer is fucked up on newer PCs
ok fuck the ice i need to leave the house going crazy here
are women actually really things
