I know that alternative desk and cursor icons are located in the Extras folder and that I should be able to run these by placing them in the root directory, but I'm not having any joy. If anyone can explain how to do this I will make a youtube video on how to do it for people like myself.

:sigh:

Might be worth you posting this on the EmuTos Facebook page?

"Root" refers to the root directory of your boot device, obviously. E.g. C:\ if you boot from HD.

PS: Just tested it, works as expected.

I don't use social media @PhilC

Thanks @czietz I'll try and follow this now.

It's not working for me. The cursor looks the same.

Which RSC file did you use? If it's not one of the ones distributed with EmuTOS, please post it here. Which exact EmuTOS version did you use?

EMUCURS1.RSC. (tried others too)
I'm using version 0.9.12

It's likely I'm missing something obvious to others.

copy files emucurs1.def / emucurs1.rsc to C:\ and rename them to emucurs.def / emucurs.rsc

the same with emuicon0.def / emuicon0.rsc, copy to C:\ and rename them to emuicon.def / emuicon.rsc

See how it works for me:


(Note that this video is with a current EmuTOS snapshot, but I successfully tested it with the 0.9.12 release, too.)
