IndyJones1023 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I have been creating disk images of slideshows to play on my stock 800 during my vinyl streams. I am finding that the disks are garbled or corrupt (they start, but then begin to fail) if loading from my local TFNS server. But if I transfer the disk image to my micro-SD card and load it from the FujiNet it plays fine. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 permissions and read/write mountings are normal culprits of this kind of behavior. please mount as read only, and then as write enabled. see if either makes a difference. make sure your network is clean as stalled packets and propagation delays due to noise and traffic can interfere. make sure to try all of those with and without basic etc. for whatever titles aren't working.

IndyJones1023 Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 I load as read only both ways. Via SD card it works, via TFNS it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) when you say transfer, are you using the copy from TNFS to SD function and that works? what version of the server are you using, any debug output etc for the fujinet guys to look at?

tschak909 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Yup, it will help immensely to know what version of the firmware you're running. The firmware work done during May and June to move TNFS to TCP has drastically improved network reliability on really spotty networks. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyJones1023 Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 I haven't flashed my FujiNet since I bought it. I think it's either 1.5 or 1.6. I guess I'll flash first and report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyJones1023 Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Okay, so I found the FujiNet flasher web page (https://fujinet.online/flasher/) and there's a drop down box for Atari 8 Bit Firmware Version. Which version do I select? Or how can I find out which version my stock 800 has? I have searched the net and I think the word "firmware" finds too many non-Atari results.

This is what gets flashed onto your device. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyJones1023 Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Oh, those are the FujiNet rom images? The latest is 1.3 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyJones1023 Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Well, my worst fears have come true. I flashed my FujiNet and everything worked, at least according to the success message on screen. I unplugged it, put the SD card back in the slot, inserted the device into my 800, and I get the memo pad. In the past, I would hold down Option and Start upon power up, then when the FujiNet got power and one of the lights lit up, I would press System Reset and it would reboot into the FujiNet. Now, as soon as I power on the 800, all the lights on the FujiNet light up. When I repeat the procedure it goes into memo pad. Any advice?

_The Doctor__ Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) I'd say make sure you have a fast enough SD card and that the config is set up and saved on it so that is comes up quickly and to the screen you wish. A couple of times I remotely entered a persons problem FN only to find they had it set to mount all etc instead of loading the config program etc. Maybe show your web config page and provide the normal requested infos Edited July 31 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, understand that it isn't possible to brick a FujiNet, at all. Next, the best thing you can do in situations like this is attach your FujiNet to a PC running the FujiNet flasher. Once it's loaded, press the Debug Monitor button, which will show all of the debugging information that the FujiNet is outputting. You can paste it here, and we help you debug what is happening. You can get the desktop flasher here for your given platform: https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-flasher/releases/tag/v1.4.2 -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I had the same result with the Online flashing tool. Said it worked, but my Fujinet wouldn't work on my Atari after that. Had to use the desktop flasher tool, but that worked great.
