well, i decided to go back and try the previous POTY's, one caught my attension, emu8x. i obtained a ti86 rom and wanted to try the program . the probelm is, i suck at dos and apparently i need to do something in there to get it to work. i looked at the maunual and i get the impression that i need to make a folder emu8x and put it in C then write what they've written. however whenever i do, cmd gives me crap about that command not being recognized (the command i used was C:\emu8x>java rom.... but it doesnt work, any help would be apreciated. i did notice that cmd seemed to be pointing at E:/documents and settings/Al Capwned (my account name) is that the problem, and ifso how do i change that, i th ink i knoew at one point but alas ive forgotten, everything i try doesnt work. even  HELP gives me an error, only PING doesnt. so has anyone gotten this to work in the past, anyone know how? i thought i followed the directions carefully, but idk it says something about run java rom, but i dont see that file in anything that they gave me...

to change directiories in dos type "cd\directory" and press enter, where directory is where you want to change to. If you want to just get to the C prompt (C:\) just type "cd\" and press enter. Hope this helps you some. Never used emu8x, but i cant imagine that it would run very fast.
Edit: Yea the slashes were backwards heh opps. :Dbiggrin.gif Fixed it in my post now.

I think your slashes are backwards... Or at least that's how they are on mine. (Ex:) cd C:\documents and settings\...
