It was a lonely sunday, and for the lack of better options i put
together an archive with qemu[1] (properly patched), needed dlls and
virtual disk image (populated with old demos and other memorabilia)

If feeling nostalgic - go fetch it, inside you will find ~30 demos,
ft209, it, st3 and some misc stuff.

http://www.boblycat.org/~malc/demo-qemu-30-10-2005.zip

Weighs in at 47M (took a while to upload) around 80 unpacked.

Send me a postcard if you will like it.

Excellent ! I use the linux version to load the image, and it works fine
(except for the sound, but i think it's something i gotta fix in my
linux box). I have though a question : I have some demos I'd like to
watch, how can I include them in the image ?

Thanks a lot

As mentioned in the docs qemu binary in the archive is not vanilla, it was
patched. I'd suggest using CVS version with patches:
http://www.boblycat.org/~malc/code/patches/qemu/
(15a_aqemu is not needed - already in CVS)

Things to note i mistyped `set ultrasnd` line in autoexec.bat. It should
really read: `set ultrasnd=240,3,3,7,7'

As for including other stuff:

a. You can use VMWare's disk mounter (on Windows, people should use VDK
doc/vdk.url)

b. You can convert dos.vmdk to raw image with qemu-img and mount it:
$ mount IMG MOUNTPOINT -o loop,offset=32256,user,rw,uid=UID,gid=GID

c. You can try using vvfat block driver, though i was not successful with
that lately. (RTFM how to do that)

Bear in mind that though dos.vmdk is ~80M, the resulting raw image will be
~1Gb (perhaps it would be sparse though, i don't know)
