I don't recall there being a key combo to do this. I use my desktop computer and delete the numerically named file on the SD card. You'll find the shortcut files in the folder \_AVGCART. The file will be recreated the next time you save a shortcut of the same number on the Atari. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/278212-avgcart/page/99/#findComment-5481889 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just getting a handle on some of its function shortcuts - I'm guessing this (persistent key maps to number keys) isn't problematic bc numbers aren't used anywhere else in SC/loader ui (other than for shortcuts/bookmarks)? My brain wants there to be an on-atari de-assign or an all-clear for these (not a complaint, it's my OCD).

TZJB Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 We are up to 99 pages and I have an AVGCART question I cannot find an answer to. I am using an unmodified 800XL and my AVGCART has both cables plugged in with expanded PBI memory on. I have just upgraded to AVGCART firmware revision AC30 and have also updated rompack.rpk. How do I now select an operating system ROM from that pack which I assume is programmed somewhere within the AVGCART? Also how could I change one of the eight ROMs within the pack if I wanted to? Is it possible to overwrite an existing ROM with another using HxD or another Hex editor on the PC for instance?

I did not find this mentioned anywhere but I should have maybe explored the menus a bit more. Now I know how to do it, this seems to work fine at loading an alternative OS. The flash to OS slot method is also a genius way to prepare to load an alternative OS. By proper file size I assume you mean 16384 bytes? I expect that it has already been requested as I believe that De Re AVGCART needs updating, so could I also respectfully request that @Mr Robot update his already excellent AVGCART guide for the new features? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/278212-avgcart/page/99/#findComment-5490209 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtrooper of Death Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) Would it be possible to include the CP/M functionality (of FujiNet) into the AVG and SubCart ? Or is that difficult because of diferent FPGA / chips of the AVG/Sub and Fujinet boards I have not only a 130XE and 800XL, but also a TRS-80 model 4P, that can do CP/M. Would be fun to exchange CP/M software between Atari and the 4P.

Steril707 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 (edited) My AVG Cart doesn't load anything anymore. Ends in a black screen, garbled text, or no video output even (I just get a very bright blue empty screen).. My 600XL seems to perform normal from the few tests I ran.. Tried to reformat the SD card, but doesn't do anything good.

_The Doctor__ Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Time to JTAG the AVG cart, I have one problematic AVG and I simply reprogram it. All is fine after that, there is an ESP based de bricker that can load what's needed into the RAM and bring it back, then you can do upgrades like normal.

Hope it helps.. This is with cables connected... if you want me to test something special, just tell me... Thanks for the help, mate.. I have one friend who owns a 800XL where I could test the cart as well.

tmp Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 ok, i misunderstood and thought the cart is not even getting into the browser give me a screenshot of about screen ("?") to see whether 600xl and pbi cable are detected i assume that the 600xl is stock (16kB) and those things you're starting might need 64kB and for some reason avgcart is not expanding it anymore (check pbi cable connection) 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/278212-avgcart/page/99/#findComment-5534735 Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 (edited) kill HSIO, kill autoenable. and try Bruce lee again. Bruce doesn't always like HSIO, as you know some software doesn't like it depending on what flavor of it you have. You can always try stock OS as well.
