All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Free space in boot sector

Post by d2alphame »

You'll be surprised how much you can do inside 512 bytes. I've finished writing my mbr bootsector and I still 49 free bytes sitting idle :D
So, who wants 49 free bytes!?

Yes I'm surprised.

My MBR which do nothing special and just lookup and chain-load VBR, it has 355 bytes to spare :shock: enough to put tetris in it.

Maybe we'll be able to squeeze quake or doom into our bootsectors one day!
