I need somebody to test this.

Ok So I followed a tutorial exactly (except for welcome message), and now I need testers!
I don't have a floppy drive to test it and I cant get an emulator to work.

DOWLOAD:
http://mygmgame.com/quick/view.asp?id=1311
(includes source)
Since the source is exactly like tutorial you can check it out if you like, if you do please tell me if you find any errors!

ZIP contains:
-kernel.bin [the kernel]
-FOLDER: Source [the source]

I don't have a working boot loader yet, I don't know whether or not this means nobody can test it, since I'm new at this, but anywho.

What exactly is there for us to test? It looks like a copy & paste of Bran's kernel..

I need it tested because before when I followed a different tutorial (I had a floppy drive back then), after doing exactly what it said it would not bot up

if you are floppy-driveless and emulatorless, you are going to run into some big issues, one of which is relying on other people to test your code everytime you make changes.

I'd suggest working a little harder on getting BOCHS/VPC/QEMU to run.

If those don't work, try VMware, it has binaries for everything.

Are you fucking serious? STFW RTFM

It's not that hard. And if you still don't figure it out, try another one.

You can figure how to make an os but not how to make box work.
No compute on me, no carrier, sorry.
Just edit the sample bochout edit file or what its calle and fou know you are in the business.
