# How to install ! Nova DOS on Wild Hare Nova emulator?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We can run [! Nova DOS](/1970s/1970/nova-dos) on the Wild Hare Nova emulator. First, we need to download the ! Nova DOS disk image.

You can download the disk image needed to run ! Nova DOS on the Wild Hare Nova emulator from the [Wild Hare Legacy Preservation Website website](http://www.novasareforever.org/):

## Using ! Nova DOS
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
|
|
If you have not already installed Wild Hare Nova emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/wh-nova/) on Linux and Windows.
|
|
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM and move the disk image you just downloaded into it. Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `nova.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
set CPU Nova
|
|
set MAP disable
|
|
set MAP1 disable
|
|
set PTR enable
|
|
set PTP enable
|
|
set PLT enable
|
|
set LPT enable
|
|
set DSK enable
|
|
set DEP disable
|
|
set DKP enable
|
|
set DZP disable
|
|
set TTI1 disable
|
|
set TTO1 disable
|
|
set ALM disable
|
|
set FPU disable
|
|
set FPU1 disable
|
|
set FPU2 disable
|
|
set TTI bs
|
|
set TTO bs
|
|
dep TTO time 200
|
|
set RTC MIPSsec=5
|
|
set DKP0 4047
|
|
attach DKP0 DKP.4047.DOS.raw
|
|
dep DKP stime 1000
|
|
dep DKP rtime 1000
|
|
boot DKP
|
|
continue
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nova
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the emulator starts, type `LIST` and press enter. It will list all the files available on the disk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's it! We used ! Nova DOS. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
Create a file called `Nova-DOS.sh` with the following content:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
nova
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now make the file executable:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod +x Nova-DOS.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you can start the VM using the shell script. For example, on KDE you can right-click the file and choose `Run in Konsole` or on GNOME, where you can right-click the file and choose `Run as executable`. The VM will start.
|
|
|
|
See the [manuals section](/1970s/1970/nova-dos/#manuals) on the [main ! Nova DOS page](/1970s/1970/nova-dos/) to learn how to use it.
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
Create a file called `Nova-DOS.bat` with the following content:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nova
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1970/nova-dos/#manuals) on the [main ! Nova DOS page](/1970s/1970/nova-dos/) to learn how to use it.
