Boot Sector Games

A list of playable boot sector games, most of which are on github. Fun to play, great to learn from. There are also many cool non-booting boot sectors out there that aren't games (so more like demos), but this page is just reserved to interactive boot sectors / games. This list is also not complete, but not on purpose, it is a best effort collection of games, so if you know of any fun boot sector games, please contribute.

This page lists a collection of 26 games spanning several authors: nanochess, me, daniel-e, shikhin, JulianSlzr, XanClic, QiZD90, darkvoxels, guyhill, w-shackleton, egtzori, VileR, ish_works, franeklubi, and queso_fuego. peterferrie should also be mentioned as he has touched a lot of these games.

Tetris Clone. Full color, no score. This was one of the older boot sector games out there.

	I got it to work :)

	NOTE: This requires unlocked bootloader.

	Connect the device to Mac or PC in recovery mode. (I had to map the process in my mind as the screen was broken).
	Now open terminal/CMD in computer and go to platform-tools/. type and enter ./adb devices to check if the device is connected in recovery mode.
	Now type ./adb shell mount data and ./adb shell mount system to mount the respective directories.
	Get the persist.sys.usb.config file in your system using ./adb pull /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config /Your directory
	Now open that file in a texteditor and edit it to mtp,adb and save.
	Now push the file back in the device; ./adb push /your-directory/persist.sys.usb.config /data/property

	Project started July 2021

	This Arduino sketch contains the code needed to emulate the original
	Taito Space Invaders along with Galaxy Wars and Lunar Rescue. The project
	does not contain any game code and instead will read the game code and data
	from ZIP files provided by the user. The 3 ZIP files can be from MAME or
	other emulators and must contain the following files:
