ParaDOS can't use any more than 552K of RAM. If you have 1152K then it's not Dk'Tronics compatible.


OK thank you, I was not aware about this limitation in paraDOS.

No problem take your time  ;) maybe a version without burnin'rubber too i guess it will reduce the size of the CPR and a quicker boot .. :-X

It makes no difference to the boot time in all honesty. And what would happen to |game etc with no burning rubber..... Unless someone else works out how a different game can be added into those 5 16k romslots instead.

Agree there is no difference.. I was just talking about this because Gerald made some CPR with Parados1.1 with no game in it with a size of 49ko and a FR_FW315ParaDOS1.1 with a size of 65ko no game too..
I'm dreaming about a CPR with RSX |C4CPC  :P but it's another subject..

now having |game go back to the c4cpc menu would be awesome, but not possible I guess since it needs a power cycle.

That would be possible. The power cycle is needed to reload CprSelect when you load a cartridge with it.

The Stipped version (48K) still load faster than the full version (128k). Bigger is the CPR, longer is the load time. But we are talking of tenth of second  ;D
It would also be nice to strip the conversion dsk from empty tarck/sectors. This would improve loading time as well.

OK Guys, sorry for the delay, but I have done what I can... Attached here you will find.


1. French FW3.15 and Parados 1.2+ (Burning Rubber included and working with |game)
2. French Patched (32 Roms and Bug Fix) Parados 1.2+ (Burning Rubber included and working with |game)


I cannot yet do a totally stock versions with Parados 1.2+ at the moment because I cannot find a totally stock French CPR or BIN image. If anyone has one, please let me know so I can do this one too.

Hello i have a Amsdos_FR_Patched.cpr if you want or a FR_Parados_1.1.cpr or a FR_FW315ParaDOS1.1.cpr if it can helps but i don't really understand what you need lol  :picard:

Anyway when i use the French FW3.15 Parados 1.2+ or even the english one CPR on Winape , it keep booting and booting all over again  ???

Slightly off topic, but I didn't know ParaDOS included Burnin' Rubber.

When I was developing SPC, I was testing on WinAPE and I had a crash in my game that started Burnin' Rubber... and I can assure you that was the biggest WTF ever in my development career :laugh:

At that time I couldn't explain it. I had played the game not so long ago after watching ChinnyVision and I thought perhaps the DSK was still somewhere referenced in WinAPE... or something. Hah!
Released The Return of Traxtor, Golden Tail, Magica, The Dawn of Kernel, Kitsune`s Curse, Brick Rick and Hyperdrive for the CPC.

If you like my games and want to show some appreciation, you can always buy me a coffee.

I've just uploaded a new version of ParaDOS 1.2/1.2+ on WinAPE : Windows Amstrad Plus Emulator : Downloads which fixes the bug that stopped it working in slots 1 through 6. Not an easy fix since I had to remove a 1 byte optimisation in the ROM init code, which meant I had to find another. I found I could replace:

PUSH IY
..
..
PUSH DE
POP IY

with

..

PUSH DE
EX (SP),IY

Thanks gerald. I'll be releasing an update WinAPE in order to update most copies. I was debating changing the version number for the bug fix.

Thanks    :D


All working fine in Slot 6.

Sorry to report, I found another little bug!

With parados 1.2+ I am not able to launch CPM from ROM. With parados 1.1 it works.

I'd love a fix, either with a patch to the CPM ROM (preferable as I have made a physical Firmware 3.15 and parados 1.2+ cart now) or to parados.

Thanks

I'll grab it off the plus and attach it here later.


Edit : Attached


Oddly it works just fine with Parados 1.2 on the JustCPC. however on the 6128+ with Parados1.2+ it just hangs forever more, never loading CPM.

At the moment I am using 3.15 because of the silicon disc. I'll move up to 3.16 when acme-dos comes along so i can use the ide device instead.
