+jedimatt42 Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) Update 3.22 3.23 - 2023-09-03 - Experimental 16 sector per track, track dump to sector dump conversion. TIPI supports converting DSK images to an extracted directory on your TIPI share. It delegates sector dump extraction to xdm99.py. However PC99 DSK images are in one of 3 track dump formats. Previously I have supported the 9 and 18 sector per track formats, for 40 track disks. Now I have extended this to support the 16 sector per track format, and to allow for 80 track (per side) disks images. I have implemented this from the spec at https://www.ninerpedia.org/wiki/Track_Dump_Format. I've already gotten tired of looking for disk images to test. If you find specific examples of incompatible disks, I am happy to receive them here, so that I may examine and keep this feature as 'magic' as possible. -M@ Edited September 4, 2023 by jedimatt42 I missed a spot when testing, so I pushed another update. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beery There is no audio emulation in the TIPI CS1 support, TIPI catches LVL3 IO requests to device name "CS1", and directs them to the TIFILES file that you specify in the CS1_FILE entry in PI.CONFIG.

+Vorticon Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 None of the old file managers seem to work properly on real drives when TIPI is installed, even when DSK1 is not defined (DM2, Disk Master, DM 5000 etc...) And DM2K 3.0 also has substantial issues here as well, where disk formatting fails on verify (although it seems that the disk ends up being properly formatted anyway) and file ops between TIPI folders and real drives do not work. The only reliable way for me to transfer files to/from a real disk to the TIPI is via Force Command, but there is no disk formatting facility here.

DM2 crashes for me if I try to initialise a disk with TIPI installed (had assumed it was just my copy of DM2 as CorComp disk manager is fine) Just checked and setting the CRU base of the TIPI > CRU base of disk controller allows DM2 to function normally with TIPI installed EDIT: I meant this as just information, not a solution… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM2K latest version works fine with TIPI at any CRU you just have to specify DSK0. rather than TIPI. this is due to Fred using routines based on DSK in the device name I assume..

The issue is not accessing TIPI with DM2K, but rather the physical drives, which is where it seems to struggle. Honestly, if floppy formatting is implemented with FC, there would be little need for a disk manager as everything could be done from within FC.

Thank you for confirming. This wasn't evident to me from the wiki nor download page. I changed my TIPI from GPIO mode to emulator mode then connected via MAME. Success! Very nice and easy once I had all the pieces in place. Here is a screenshot from the MAME Geneve; seems I need to update my tipi. (Thanks also to @dhe and @mizapf for their patience in answering my general MAME setup-related questions) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted October 1, 2023 Author Share Posted October 1, 2023 Update 3.24 - 2023-10-01 - Added support in TIPICFG to map DSK5-9 - TIPICFG v13 - There are now pages of config, so you can press space to go to the next page of things, and there are only 3 pages, so it is a cycle. Upon update from TIPICFG, you will still be running the old version of TIPICFG until you exit back to the title screen and reload TIPICFG. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice update, thanks Are there any plans to have a folder/file rename function in the TIPI web interface in the future please? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
