hi


is it possible to add a key at boot time to cancel autoexec.bas to run ?


because i have make a autoexec to launch rpm for exemple that i can't quit with the esc key (like in stock cpc, i think the m4 catch the esc ...)


i must  erase autoexec on a pc


thanks in adavance

It's possible, but it was a lot of hacking about (and a long time ago) to get the autorun feature to work, one of the side effects was ESC to break not working. Maybe I will re-visit it some day.
However I guess you could do some Basic key checking in your autoexec.bas to skip ie. launching rpm. Say hold space to exit to basic.

i must  erase autoexec on a pc

You can also eject the microSD, turn on the CPC and insert the microSD, then erase (or rename) it from the CPC.

Hi all,
i am trying to build xfer on a ubuntu 18.04 machine (GCC 5.5.0_4) so i can transfer files to the M4 but it does not compile from source and i get the following error: 

gcc -O2  -W -I. -c parse.c -o parse.o
parse.c:10:25: error: conflicting types for 'strncasecmp'
        #define strnicmp strncasecmp

Any help appreciated!

Simple fix: in parse.c change

Code: [Select]

#ifdef __unix__ to

Code: [Select]

#ifndef __unix__ or just delete that entire block.

I am using an M4 with 2.05B12 and trying to load YANCC with |romup and it seems to result in corrupt text in the rom slot with |m4help and a non-functioning rom.
I ran the config.bas to create the configured rom (basically all N options) and then |fcp those over to the m4 so i can |romup them which seem to succeed but an M4 reset shows the corrupt text in the rom slot with |m4help and neither commands works.

I tried slots 1, 2, 11 and 12 out of interest but YANCC-CO.rom and Launch.rom both do not seem to install correctly.
Any one else tried to install YANCC140418b with 2.05B12???

Sorry, today seen your mail, do you have still problems? (yes: write me a PM)
