Configuring Shared Folders on Windows 95
Configuring Shared Folders on Windows 95
I would like to avoid the micro-SD shuffle to get things on to my Win 95 system, so USB shared folder would be great. I have updated my mister.ini to point it at the /media/usb0 location my USB drive gets mounted on the Linux side of the Mister, but nothing is showing up. Is there a trick on the Windows side to access this? Thanks!

Re: Configuring Shared Folders on Windows 95
In this folder: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/ao486_M ... leases/drv there is a utility program called misterfs.exe which adds a shared folder as a drive. I'm not sure it can access anything other than the shared/ dir in the ao486 folder, though.

Re: Configuring Shared Folders on Windows 95
Yes, the misterfs.exe tool is the way to do this. It will look for a shared folder in your AO486 folder. I have mine on my USB and it works quite well.
But you cannot run it after Windows 95 has booted, so you need to add it to the boot files. I do not remember what they are called for Windows 95, but I do not think its the Autoexec.bat file, they have some other name. But it is one of the files in the root of your system drive. I think it might be empty by default. Add misterfs there, and maybe a drive letter to set it to. Then that drive should be accessible from Windows.
It turned out that it would interfere with my CD emulation software, but that might not be an issue now we have actual CD drives... (well, still using images, but no longer requiring Daemon Tools / Alcohol 120% etc)
