Grub4dos works ! And I installed Freedos ! Yea thank you !

My first plan was to install win98 just because the usb works better in it and for file exchanges for Adlib tracker 2. I tried to install it from Freedos, but it didn't work. I launched win98/setup.exe but it stop just after the begining and I'm back to freedos.

Is it because I have only one HDD where I want to do all ? I'm on Freedos on it and I'm trying to install win98 on it so maybe it can't work ? And also it's a FAT16 freedos partition and I read win98 don't like FAT16.

Is it possible/better to install win98 directly from grub4dos ? I also tried to access the usb drive from grub4dos and from freedos, no success, the usb stick doesn't light up...

I could also disconnect the disk, put adlibtracker2 on it, and run it from freedos (is this ok?). But having to disconnect the disk and connect it each time I need to transfer files that will be not very good. But yea it's basically just for AT2 (this one should have OPL3) and also fast tracker 2 if it works

Hello,

Sorry I didn’t see your message. Thank’s for your reply !

Yes there is no cd rom drive, it’s because the emplacement for cd rom drive can also be used by a hdd. And bad luck I have an hdd, not a cd rom drive !

This is this hdd which I was talking about. And I just discovered that I have no other hdd… the emplacement for’the main hdd is… empty…

Because it said « no system disk » when this secondary hdd was inside, and nothing when it wasn’t inside made me think that it try to boot on this hdd. The message was « disque non système » in french it means it’s not a system disk, not that there is no disk, just to be clear.

I bought an ide to usb adaptor and connected this secondary hdd to my mac pro computer. I tried several things which didn’t work, then I tried from a linux computer. This is what I did :
sudo parted /dev/sdX mklabel msdos
sudo parted /dev/sdX mkpart primary fat16 1MiB 100%
sudo mkfs.fat -F16 /dev/sdX1
sudo parted /dev/sdX set 1 boot on

And then I copied the content of freedos.img in the disk and the content of win98se.img in a folder (for no conflict between freedos boot and win98). The plan was ro boot in freedos and then cd to win98 folder and install it from there. I did that after watching a tutorial which was using usb keys for boot, 1 for freedos boot and the other for win98. But in my case I can’t use usb.

I can’t use usb because I can’t enter to bios, I tried everything, including keys which are marked to work with this model. I can’t go to the bios so I put all the files in the hdd.

After starting the toshiba, it ask me a password (it always did that… very annoying) which I have so it says « password ok, starting the system… » and nothing, cursor blinking. I let it like that long time but nothing happened. The message « no system disk » is gone so I presume it tries now to boot on the hdd, but it don’t work…

Hello O2star,

Did you ever planed of adding the possibility of changing pattern while playing for live performance. For exemple it could be press 1 key = jump to pattern 1, 7 jump to pattern 7 etc…that would be cool for live performance. Personnaly I like the ability to instantly jump when key is pressed for stay in right bpm when playing with an other musician but maybe other people will prefer it will wait and jump only at time

Hello,

Nice to see there are still someone here! I talked a little with rot on email and he is ok for me to share my modifications so I will add it here and also the github link. My version is on a different branch than master.

I'll do it when I will be on my laptop

I added noise sounds from sound chip (only on gba version). Pulse 1, 2 and wav will normally come. On the ds version I can't suucceed to adding it without lose samples so I think the .ds will be only samples but with more quick accessible options on the second screen for activate or deactivate ia options and y and x for change bpm

Wow! This is awesome! I feel under drugs after played with it lol

It should be even better if it was possible to change noise channel note like it is on recent lsdj version. For playing with a drone instrument like a didgeridoo on D. On the other channels it works

With this I think I will make new sounds for my drone project (listenable here : https://astralkinesis.bandcamp.com/albu … e-pr-sence )

@Cementimental

don't hesitate to ask if you have questions. I'm pretty sure there are things which are not written on the screen like enter on the synth mod, if I good remember it's SELECT + RIGHT
