Well I would need OS9 decompiler, because I couldn't find it anywhere

Bu using NavTweak I can extract files from navboot.
It that the same as Decompiler?

I tried to run os9exec version 338 for Windows (os9exec_338_Windows) with files I extracted but no success. Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Here is what I did
1. in Window 7, start CMD with admin right
2. in cmd got to directory with os9exec and bin directory.
3. extract file from navboot to the same folder as os9exec using NavTweak
4. in cmd type os9app.exe kernel

no matter which program I extracted from navboot, it returns the same thing

Can I have a copy of decompiler too?

Many thanks

Yes, in effect it is.

Have you loaded the os9 disc image mate?? (you need a os9 disc image called DD in the same dir as the os9app.exe file).

That wont work, as there is no link between the disc image and the "real world" dir (that the kernel file sits in).

This is essentially the problem, I can decompile the navboot, but I cant get them into the OS9 environment (to be able to run the config_tool).

I do.

You pretty much have it mate, you just need the DD disc image and the decompiler. PM you real email and I'll sent them to you.

Hi guys,

I registered here specially to resurrect this topic. Was there any progress?

Found may be interesting info:
Wiki :: en_OS9_x86_Install

Did anyone know about QEMU? It supports MIPS as well, so it might be possible to create virtualbox for navboot, I hope...

Don't have much time at the moment, so would be grateful if you share what have you found by now...

Very interesting, I've downloaded and tried it.

However, I cant get the network part to install as the installer says "invalid use of install", I may require installing on a native XP machine.

As for updates, None... if this provides a way of allowing the navboot (or files therein) to be "loaded" into the os9 install AND the config_tool runs then that would be a huge step forward.

Good find though :)

Sorry for rare posting,
unfortunately I also could not get network part working, seems the TAP driver does not fit Win7, and then one installed from latest version of OpenVPN does not fit current OS image...

Just to share another finding:
OS-9 LV II and OS-9000 x86 images

There is a link (still working) to the Microware evaluation CD, (only for x86 tough) with Hawk development environment, unfortunately not checked yet and no idea, whether it might be useful somehow or not...

Finally got working the network part with the emulator above on Win7.
Simply download latest OpenVPN package, unpack end extract x64 tap driver. Then go to Device Manager->Action->Add Legacy Hardware, then point to the .inf file of the driver extracted. Et voila! Now I can connect from host to emulated OS as in doc above.
Note: if the driver from previous install approaches is present in Device Manager (typically as "unknown device"), it needs to be removed manually, "update driver" does not work.

The .bat file included to .zip package needs to be adapted for a new driver path and also "run as Administrator".

Also works fine with latest QEMU binaries for Win that could be found here: Qemu On Windows

Hey zyz, good work,

I cant seem to find the x64 tap driver though, all the files I can find are .exe or msi, so I cant extract them, do you have a location for the driver part only?

Scratch that I now have a login on 10.0.2.14!!!

now to try and upload and use the configtool
