Mclaneinc Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) @tmp It is indeed broken.. Everything is a boot error.. I'll get stuck in to testing a bit more.. Oh, looks like CAS is borked as well.. Edited January 1, 2022 by Mclaneinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Hello guys Just opened one of my AVG Carts, red PCB, no extra connectors. Since Retrolemon is in the UK, who sells the wires for SIO and ECI inside the EU? Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmp Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 ac24 - ATX/CAS fixed - PDS/COV/COS files run PDSPLAY/COVPLAY/COSPLAY 20 hours ago, tmp said: new beta - ab24, please report what i broke - selected files (ATR, CAS, CAR) don't have to be in the same directory anymore, selection is cleared only after returning to the selector - added ability to select (TAB) CAR files - ENTER on ATR/CAS/CAR file will replace the selection so SPACE was added to run with selected files, ignoring current file under cursor - search now allows navigation during searching and editing search string - CTRL-L disables item shortcuts and allows starting search by typing instead of '/' - ESC stops search, exiting search requires 2x ESC (to prevent accidental exit when search stops at the same time user tries to stop it) - disable cart was changed to SHIFT-ESC - short filenames should finally (hopefully) have proper case - filenames longer than screen width should be (finally) properly sorted there was also a stable release (0023) last week but that's interesting only for people with eci cable (and ab24 supersedes it) 0023 ==== - [ECI] Auto-enable cart menu after reset (CTRL-SHIFT-E to enable, CTRL-E to disable) - [ECI] Patched OS for ATR emulation is forced as ROM, not just loaded into RAM under ROM, increases compatibility - [ECI+SIO] When emulating ATR, HSIO patched OS with inverted OPTION (BASIC off) is forced (when HSIO is enabled) 0022 (internal) ==== - [ECI] EXTMEM support up to 512kB (CTRL-SHIFT-M to enable, CTRL-M to disable) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+CharlieChaplin Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 5 hours ago, tmp said: ac24 - ATX/CAS fixed - PDS/COV/COS files run PDSPLAY/COVPLAY/COSPLAY Hmmm, now the firmware should include PDMplay, PDSplay, COVplay and COSplay files. The current PDMplay (the only soundplayer file in AC24) always plays back files with Covox mono setting, no matter what extender they have. EDIT: Searched for Xuel's players with correct filenames, found them in post #1542, downloaded them and renamed them accordingly to PDMPLAY, PDSPLAY, COVPLAY and COSPLAY and added them to the firmware. Now everything works as it should. For all others that do not want to have the same annoying circumstances, I attached the four files here (just unzip PDM_players and add the four players to your AVG firmware in the root directory). Maybe tmp can add them to all future AVG firmware updates? PDM_players.zip 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 What are those? Enquiring minds need to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 more than likely they are PBI connectors for AVG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Don't know much about the PBI apart from hard drives etc So I presume this would offer that sort of thing in the same way the SIO lead does for SIO? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I'm guessing its the PBI equivalent of the ECI cable so the AVG can be used as a memory expansion for XL machines too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmp Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 yes, it's a pbi version of eci cable currently providing mem expansion, better non-sio atr support, hsio os for sio atr and my favorite, no need to press cart button before reset 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grevle Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 what memory locations does this cart occupy ? the usual left cartrigde 40960 to 49151 ($AOOO to $BFFF) ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmp Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 i'm not sure what is your question, it's a multicart, meaning it will act like a cart that is being emulated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I think he means where the actual front end for the AVG itself is located.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, received this morning, complete with the connector which I wasn't expecting. Will get it installed asap. Do you know when/if you will be getting the XL PBI connector version in stock? the 600XL is my preferred daily driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
