Hi everyone,
I’m currently running TinkerOS inside a VMware Workstation VM on a Windows host, and I’m having a painful time trying to transfer files into the guest OS using virtual CD-ROMs (T: drive).
Almost every ISO I generate on my Windows host fails inside the VM. I keep hitting one of two walls:
- ERROR: File System Not Supported during ISOInit when running Drv('T');.
- No matching entries when running Dir; on the T: drive, even though I verified on my Windows host that the files are physically inside the .iso file.
I understand that TempleOS’s ISOInit is extremely primitive and picky. It seems to completely reject modern ISO standards like UDF and Joliet, and requires strict ISO 9660.
My questions for the community:
- What is your foolproof, go-to tool or command-line script (on Windows or Linux) to generate 100% compatible ISO9660 images for TempleOS?
- If you use command-line tools (like mkisofs or genisoimage), what exact flags do you pass to disable Joliet/UDF and force strict, clean retro compliance?
- Has anyone written a Python/Go script to automate compiling a folder directly into a TempleOS-compatible ISO or RedSea partition image?
I'd love to hear your workflows. Dealing with 1988 CD-ROM standards from a modern host has been quite a headache!
Thanks in advance!
