So I sure hope this patched version is simply experimental and not considered a continuation. I'll go back in this topic and try some of the other versions to see where things went south. EDIT: Apparently the extra navigation key changes never got integrated. Unfortunately there's not much I can personally do about that, since I was not the coder that added them, although I greatly appreciate that he did 👍 I presented the idea on 11/20/2024... And a fully working version as done by @manterola was completed on 12/11/2024... a8_pico_cart_Page-Up+Page-Down+Home+End_TK-II-Nav.uf2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manterola Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Yes. I sent the code to Robin but it was never integrated. Here it is. Maybe somebody can do a quick compare and add the code modifications to the main source code? A8PicoCart.asm 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed several that don't, such as Adax.xex, Blinky's Scaring School.xex, and Bobby Bearing.xex to name a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w1k Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 can i ask.. why latest firmware is not here? https://github.com/robinhedwards/A8PicoCart/tree/main/firmware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 34 minutes ago, w1k said: can i ask.. why latest firmware is not here? Because that is Robin's own repository, many have forked from this to add their own things but these are not 'official' as far as I know and from this thread Robin isn't actively maintaining this as a project by which other's changes are approved and merged into the main/master branch. I'm fine with this as people are free to experiment with the foundations that Robin put down (as I have done with both UNOCart and A8PicoCart). However I understand the confusion for the now many users of this product and perhaps a more co-ordinated effort could be had? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin does accept changes when he has free time to review, but he must be super busy with his family.😉 All my changes he sent to the master for approval in the future.😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electrotrains Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Hi everyone, Yes - I am super busy with family and job. Plus it's actually sunny in Scotland at the moment, which means its nice to be outside and make some vitamin D for a change when I get some time off! 🙂 I will eventually get round to merging some of the changes into the 'official' page, but in the meantime, if someone wants maintain a 'fast moving' branch I'm completely happy with that, and will even add a link to it from my own github page. Hope that's a reasonable compromise, All the best, Robin 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after updating my Pico the extra 1200XL navigation keys are still not working. So I went back to the last one that @manterola did and they do work. 3 hours ago, ascrnet said: it is strange, are you sure you are using the correct version? to detect it has two small changes the year and the letter T looks rounder. I'm not seeing any difference between manterola's version on the left and your latest version on the right, other than the year. The "T" looks the same to me. This got me thinking that perhaps there should have been a version number or the complete date to distinguish between the changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for the TK-II's specific navigation keys it doesn't work in your version.

BTW I had to fix a small error in my pdf attachment where I messed up the decimal equivalent for the Page-Down key. New version of the doc was uploaded over old.
