Getting files off windows95 onto MacOS

Open andrewschreiber opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Great work on the emulator! I nostalgia'd hard in Paint and am trying to figure out how to get the saved file off Windows95

I first tried to use the mount approach. As you can see the Paint .bmp file YESWECAN is saved in C:.

However when I navigate to the location via the mounting approach, I don't see the files.

It seems that the files shown via disk mount are sort of random - some text files are displayed, but not others. It's seemingly not a size issue, as 1.7kb text file is shown and 93kb BAT file is shown, but 24kb text file is hidden.

Any recommendations? If there is a way to send the file over the internet (or floppy??) that could work as well.

Even when navigating via Terminal, the Paint files do not appear. It seems MacOS only has access to the initial boot state.

windows95 is not applying files to image, it only saving state
