Hi! I have made a program that lets you run multiple "os's" on a single computer. This could be used for a login system because of the chroot, or choosing from operating systems. To use, all you have to do is make a system folder, name it whatever. You have to have a rom/programs/she'll in there. If you use the default rom, you will have to increase disk space in the config. because it is above 2mb in size. Once you have done this, simply type ccbox [folder]. A nice little gui should pop up if you did it correctly. To start the vm, press the green button with "B" on it. To shutdown the vm, press the orange button with S on it. To exit ccbox, just press the red X button.

Screenshots:

Coming soon! I promise!

Download:

pastebin get nrSC7JcH ccbox

It auto-updates, so don't worry about updating.

:L did you run it like this: ccbox /folder
Or, try redownloading it. I posted a new version of the launcher just in case.

Very cool! You may want to make sure you set the text colour of the bottom buttons, they appear to be changing colour based on whats running.

Pretty slick chroot/jail app! I tested it out in the emulator (cc 1.5, advanced computer) with a jailed startup file and no 'ls' or 'dir' commands copied into the jail. (Specifically, no /rom/startup to add those commands or edit the path variable.)
Everything worked exactly as expected!

I even took some screenshots (Feel free to use/edit/whatever. You can go one folder up to 'picts', to right-click save if need be.)

ccbox-1 shows a root folder with no startup file, and a test1 folder that itself contains a startup file and a /test1/rom/programs/shell file (But no other programs.) I am about to hit enter on the command "ccbox /test1"
ccbox-2 shows after hitting enter on the "ccbox /test1" command.
ccbox-3 shows after clicking the green "B" boot button, and shows the /test1/startup program running successfully.
ccbox-4 shows an attempt at running "ls", but as I purposefully did not copy over /rom/startup into the jail, it gives the expected "No such program" error.

Finally, I copied the entire contents of /rom/programs/ to /test1/rom/programs/ and also copied /rom/startup to /test1/rom/startup
and then re-ran "ccbox /test1"

ccbox-5 shows "ls" works as expected this time, and there is no trace of the test1 or test2 folders in the root dir, showing it is indeed jailed inside /test1/

Very cool program but please find a way that you don't have to copy the files from /rom/prorams into the Guest OS's folder :D/>

… And a GUI would be nice ;)/>
