The latest video from the Retro Lemur channel is part of a series of short video demonstrations covering assembly language and related topics for the Commander X16, an 8-bit computer. In this installment, the video explains how to create, format, copy files into, and work with emulator SD card images on Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems.
The tutorial assumes viewers have already watched the “Episode 0” variant for their respective operating system—Windows, Linux, or Mac—and have set up the necessary tools as instructed. The process is nearly identical across all three platforms. It involves using the truncate command to create a new SD card image file, followed by utilizing mtools to format the image and copy files into it.
For first-time viewers, it is recommended to watch the video in its entirety rather than jumping directly to the section specific to their operating system.
