EmuTOS 1.2.1 fixes two obscure AES bugs that were reported after the 1.2 release:

Thank you! I'm looking forward to further interesting hardware that is "brought to life" with the help of EmuTOS!

Sorry about this question,

How can I add cartridge icon ?
Normally it was small letter but it's not working.

Thank's

Good question.
Unfortunately, EmuTOS's desktop doesn't support the cartridge filesystem.

Actually this was something I was meaning to research as well. AFAICT it (GEMDOS cartridge) is not supported. Auto-run programs on the cartridge port are, but I can find no reference to GEMDOS (/BDOS) type cartridges in the manual nor in the source.

I had wondered if I'd disabled it in the build I was using (customsed 192k version), but I haven't looked into it further than grepping through the source and Googling through the manual.

Having piqued my interest, I can now find this discussion on the emutos-devel mailing list from 2017:

https://sourceforge.net/p/emutos/mailma ... sg35607716

Unless there has been a change of heart, this looks to be unsupported, therefore.

Out of curiosity: Which programs do you run from the cartridge?

Hi Christian, not Atome_X's use case, but mine was to load Gembench from Exxos' multi-diag cartridge when I had no DMA available.

Quite niche, I appreciate!
