Help with imgset.exe

Unread post by NML32 »

I'm trying to figure out how to use imgset.exe on the ao486 core.
I've tried "imgset ide10 \CDs\ewj2\earthworm jim 2.cue"
I also tried "imgset ide10 AO486\CDs\ewj2\earthworm jim 2.cue"
I have my CD images in \games\ao486\CDs
What am I doing wrong?

If anyone missed it here's a link to imgset.exe
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/ao486_M ... leases/drv

When I check the path in the OSD I get an error
No Files!
Missing Directory:
AO486

whenever I've had that missing directory error.. it's been down to the directory having not been in the correct upper/lower case.. might sound daft but worth a try changing ao to AO..

I already tried renaming to AO486 :(
It was worth a try.

I am having some troubles loading CD images too.
As NML32, I have my image in games\AO486\CDs\, but when I try to load

Code: Select all

IMGSET.EXE ide10 CDs/TOSEC/Dig, The (USA) (Rerelease)/Dig, The (USA) (Rerelease).cue
it doesnt work. When I check the OSD, it says that it is loaded as

Code: Select all

Dig, The
not

Code: Select all

Dig, The (USA) (Rerelease)
as it does when loaded manually.

Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong?
or is it just that it doesn't support alot of spaces in the name?

If your iso or cue has spaces in the name use "
Like this
imgset IDE10 "cds/Leisure Suit Larry Ultimate Pleasure Pack - Larry 7 (Sierra) (1999).iso"

OK, new problem:

Code: Select all

IMGSET.EXE ide10 "/CDs/TOSEC/Dig, The (USA) (Rerelease)/Dig, The (USA) (Rerelease).cue"
IMGSET.EXE ide10 "/CDs/Other/Ringworld: Revenge of the Patriarch/RING.CUE"
works

but:

Code: Select all

IMGSET.EXE ide10 "/CDs/TOSEC/Beneath a Steel Sky (USA) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Pt,Sv) (Rerelease)/Beneath a Steel Sky (USA) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Pt,Sv) (Rerelease).cue"
IMGSET.EXE ide10 "/CDs/TOSEC/Discworld II - Missing Presumed...! (Europe) (Disc 1)/Discworld II - Missing Presumed...! (Europe) (Disc 1).cue"
doesn't seem to work. Is there a known charlimit?

yeah that is a crazy path. Could be the !, could be the length, could be something inside the cue that isn't referencing the iso/bin correctly.

The CD images are verified with the TOSEC IBM-PC CDROM .dat and they work if loaded manually, but not through IMGSET.EXE.
The .cue are from the TOSEC .cue .zip collection from their site so they are correct.

Most likely then that IMGSET cant handle the naming conventions of TOSEC, maybe it can be updated to handle it?

Confirmed that there is a path character limit in IMGSET.EXE.
I moved

Code: Select all

IMGSET.EXE ide10 "/CDs/TOSEC/Beneath a Steel Sky (USA) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Pt,Sv) (Rerelease)/Beneath a Steel Sky (USA) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Pt,Sv) (Rerelease).cue"
to:

Code: Select all

IMGSET.EXE ide10 "/CDs/TOSEC/Beneath a Steel Sky (USA) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Pt,Sv) (Rerelease).cue"
and it works perfectly
