+DjayBee Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 11 minutes ago, Havok69 said: If I have a 1010 program recorder hooked up, can the AVG be connected at the same time, or will it need to be directly connected to the computer's SIO port? A clear yes-and-no. AVG has, like the 1010, only a SIO-cable with plug. But if you own a SIO splitter then both should work fine together.

Havok69 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 The 1010 has two ports, just like the 1050. So it sounds like it would work. I might have to keep that splitter in mind once I add a 1050 to the chain though. Thanks for the link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link! it should work, the only limitation is sio cable length (the one for avgcart is cca 30cm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I suddenly have a C next to random files in the menu and I think I saw a T. What are these and how do I get rid of them And yes, I did reread the manual.. PS, latest firmware... PS2, I think I imagined the T as I can't see any files with a T before them now.. PS5, none of the files with C will boot, it's like the disk is not there.. Just looked at the files on the PC and they are all 0 byte files? Looks like C equals corrupt, any other letters that might pop up @tmp Checked my PC and had a few 0 byte files on the emulation HD, bloody windows 10 and it's "this disk may have issues (which it does not) and then 'fixes' the drive and corrupts files as it does it. Known issue, supposedly solved (not!). AVG is fine and not the problem... that 'C' looks like a display bug i should fix, normally it should show only next to CAR files you "mounted" (TAB) but apparently it might show next to zero size files (or corrupted entries) but that should be just cosmetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Ok, no prob, All the items with C next were corrupt, wasn't showing them initially, but I did mount a Basic rom (was running it under an 800 B os), just odd I never noticed them earlier..

rcamp48 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I just ordered an AVG cart , it can be used with the FujiNet and U1MB board no problem? I want to digitize most of my 6000 record collection onto AVG with FujiConvert. (and maybe post some of the songs). Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcamp48 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I was wondering what format to use on Fujiconvert for the AVG cart, I tried AtariMax , and got these two files back for upload, I have not got my AVG cart yet but wondered if AtariMax is the closest format for digitiziing songs... Here are trhe two files: American Pie pdm16_14_0 mono 7860Hz atarimax ntsc (4).zip Styx - Mr. Roboto (Official Video) pdm16_14_0 mono 7860Hz atarimax ntsc.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the AtariAge thread where this is discussed. AtariAge user Xuel wrote a player for these files that works with the AVGCART. To get this working is pretty simple. There is a file included with new firmware releases called PDMPLAY, just put that in the root of your SD card and copy some PDM files to the SD. Now you can play them just by picking them from the menu. Make sure your PDM files are the correct region (PAL/NTSC) for your Atari or the speed will be wrong. You can create your own PDM files using Xuel’s online tool “FujiConvert“. You can find that here. The output media you should choose is “IDE Player” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
