The OSDev Contest Collection CD

[Walling]

This project tries to collect all the entries from the contests at osdev.org. It makes it possible to find these small "kernels" in one place (without any HTTP 404 File Not Found). It also makes it easy to try them out in your favourite emulator and / or computer. The CD is bootable. Nifty.

I know it's some time since the last contest. Most of you probably tried out all the entries already. However I hope this project will continue to exist for a long time and include future contests here at osdev.org.

You'll find the newest release of the CD in this post. I think it's fine to limit discussion about the CD (also future editions) to one thread; this. If you find any bugs, please report it.

Download osdevccc-2009-07-01.iso.bz2. Also see Coddy's online collection.

why make an ISO of them? why not a a normal zip, or a single web site?

Haha, why didn't I see that. I looked for something like that. And then went to make the CD. Well, your website is really nice. I guess it's my not invented here syndrome kicking in too early.

However I think there's a single advantage to the CD; it's easy to boot up in your favorite emulator and try out the entries.

Edit: The CD doesn't contain the First 512-byte contest either, because it's not from osdev.org. I planed only to collect the contest from osdev.org.

Well, I kinda try not to advertise anything, so that link doesn't appear much, and I wonderd why grub was on there, so that is a big advantage, if you don't mind I would like to add it to my collection

Well, of course. I don't mind. I'll gladly add a link to your site in the readme if you like.

Coddy: GRUB is on that .iso to be able to chainload each of the boot sector OSes.

@Walling: OK, I'll add the ISO when I am in the mood to mess with html and my FTP uploader, about the readme, that is up to you.

@Troy Martin: Yeah, I was looking at that, thanks though

Nice. I added a link in the first post and the readme. Then people can go download a single entry if that's what they want.

NIce I'll upload it tomorrow.

Upload finished, it is on the main page. Link

; meaningles progam:
org $100 ; COM file stuff
push ax ; lets put ax onto stack for no reson
pop ax ; Everything must come off at close of program
jmp 100 ; START OVER!!!

This will need moving, but did anyone notice Coddy's signature?

$100 = AT&T Syntax
ax as opposed to %ax = Intel Syntax
In both cases he uses the offset 100 as opposed to 100h or 0x100.

3 problems in a 4-line assembly program O.o

P.S: Man, I'm drunk

[Coty]

yep, and it is basically staying there, (it crashes in windows ) basicly I don't care how messed up it is, I wrote it when I first started assembly and I like it because it crashes out

ps in fasm "org $100" is valid intel syntax
