Do you have a PcW16 ?
Some CompurSoft software not preserved? (please mate, we need that m.i.a. software for that machine)

For now!! Please install Anne (by JohnElliott) or AnaRosa (by Habisoft) and enjoy ....

The game is launched from the OS, with Tasks -> Run external program, or [Task] + [F7]. When you want to leave, just press the button on the monitor and we should return to it.

There is some PDF user manual ...

I'd love to see a video of how it runs.
I can't figure out how to use Joyce/Anne.

Dunno if you need a Greaseweasle to write a disk image to a real floppy...

Or if the PcW16 floppy is PC compatible, so you just need a retro PC.

It's a .DSK file containing a standard 1.4M disk image -- libdsk or dsktool would be able to write it on a PC with a proper floppy drive.

On Windows:

dsktrans -otype floppy TE16.DSK A:

On Linux:

dsktrans -otype floppy TE16.DSK /dev/fd0

Samdisk would also do the job :-)

Well, it would be great if somebody could put the single files into a .ZIP folder, so we can just copy it to a DOS formatted disc and play the game.  :) :) :)

Or would the HxC software allow me to write the .DSK to a 1,4 MB disc on a PC?
Title: Re: Total Eclipse (PcW16)
Post by: robcfg on 18:58, 14 September 22
I converted the DSK image to a raw sector image one, which may be easier to write to a 1.44MB disk with WinImage or similar.

Please try it and share your results!

Which software do you use to write it?
Title: Re: Total Eclipse (PcW16)
Post by: robcfg on 08:34, 15 September 22
On Windows you could use WinImage as mentioned and on Linux/Unix systems I think you should be able to do it with dd.

Great, thanks. Try to get WinImage...
