M4 firmware v.2.0.3 beta 1
Download: http://www.spinpoint.org/cpc/M4FIRM_v203b1.zip

Changes:

       
  • Added javascript/html5 based navigation to the webinterface, with multifile upload, download, remote run, delete & make directory.
  • Fixes with running binary files with remote run and improved by changing directory to actual remote folder aswell.
  • |FCP Fix dodgy filenames, removing system attributes.
How to use the new web ui features, check this video:


Web interface only tested on Firefox, but hopefully works on other newer browsers.
Awesome work as ever! Can't wait to try it out!

Just to report, tried it out with Chrome, it works perfectly

Wow! Works fine with Win 10 Edge. One step closer to a full cross-development environment (PC > CPC). Easy drag and drop!
Also the (only) 128kB Snapshot runs with one click... :o


The Web-Interface runs more smooth (without disruption / hanging) than before.
...proudly supported Schnapps Demo, Pentomino and NQ-Music-Disc with GFX

...forgot to mention that diving into a DSK is not possible from the Web-Interface. But that's ok, because otherwise I won't touch my CPC keyboard anymore :)

Yah, I know  8)   -If more than 2 people besides me will use this, that may be next.

Also if there is interest, I can upload the web-interface files to github in a format so you anyone can run and modify it on the SD cart, maybe someone is up for improving it, since my javascript/html skills aren't exactly my best.

It might have its uses but given you can use PC tools to extract the contents is if worth it?

Oups that's 2 already :)

@maniac  You are completely right, I guess it's just about convenience. Since the handling code is already in the M4 code, its "just" about telling the client code (javascript) to use it and make some path for it.

Does it means the web server runs on the CPC and not on the card ?

Upgrading Firmware , thx Duke  :)

Nah it runs on the ESP chip, but all the html/javascript/images/fonts can be read from the microSD instead of the internal flash, where it's easy to modify.

Works flawlessly with Chrome!
Thanks a lot for the un-ending improvement of this awesome card! Now transfering files is way easier.

The beta firmware seems to break YANCC... Or have I done something to break YANCC (more likely!)

Anyone else experiencing problems?
An expanding array of hardware available at www.cpcstore.co.uk (and issue 4 of CPC Fanzine!)

Still works here :)  - What problem are you having?


On another note @rafa32gr just send me a link to a very cool menu program he wrote for M4, that enables you to: Launch programs, copy files from floppy and to tape and you can download games directly from the internet too (yay)!

Please check the attached Alpha(!) version, of the next YANCC-Release.
(I must test this version more intensive, but i hope, this version has no more errors and is the next release)
I changed some code, which may result in a better compatibility (other 2 users reported strange problems too).
You must install both ROM's to use this version!

(warning- don't forget: handle with care, it's an Alpha Version!)

I meant to get best compatiblity, is to set M4 rom at rom slot 7 (can be done from the web interface). However it cannot be done with all CPC6128's (that don't support overriding rom 7), there you would need to use the modified lowerrom I made.
When downloading games, there is  good resources where you can get a cracked version if a game was protected in some way.

http://www.cpc-power.com/   When you find a game, look for cracked version when downloading, it has it of most games.
http://cpccrackers.free.fr/Downloads/   Lots of good cracks.
http://cngsoft.no-ip.org/cpc_lzx.htm  Great cracked and compressed games
And the games cd from MiguelSky, most I tried works straight up, its generally cracked file versions of the games. Really a good starting point.
So all in all you probably have more than 1000 games working right out of the box.


I received my M4 allready, really a brilliant piece of hardware!!  ;) ;)  My CPC 464+ is at full work. However I've noticed that 128kb games efectively doesn't works  :( . I'm using games of CD games from MiguelSky, but when they need to load next stage they try to do from casette  ??? .


Is there any specific crack / fix to solve that? Perhaps I need to use another rom or update firmware?


Thanks.

Duke

Thanks.
Make sure you set M4 rom to 7 (now that you have CPC464+ thats fully possible). That should solve your problem.

Not wishing to point out the obvious but I assume you have either got an external ram expansion, or fitted the extra 64k internally in your 464+ the m4 does not negate the need for the ram expansion to run 128k games.

don't looking for load from Disc ..

Loading from disc is fine too, as long as they are loading files (or using firmware sector reading). Here it is important that you either have M4 at ROM7 or use the modified lowerrom(regular 6128). As they will most often re-init only ROM 7, so if M4 is at ie. pos 6, the file functions will not be re-directed to M4 (ie. you see disc missing or press play on tape).

[/size]@[/size]rafa32gr, Great work!   for your consideration:
- directory length, not possible to navigate if bigger tan 11 chars..
- Not possible to change to first entries if you have many entries and need scrolling ¿?
- Should be possible to use Enter insted of Space to change to a directory?

Something's broken in the CD-Command:
With 2.00 Firmware: |cd,"EDENBL~2.DSK" works.
With 2.02+03b1 Firmware: |cd,"EDENBL~2.DSK" => "Unknown Directory".

Thanks for reporting.
Anyone else experinced this?  I cannot replicate it, so if anyone has a similar problem please upload or email me a DSK image that does this.

Just finished adding remote run to DSK & CPR DSK images, so would like to get that issue out the way aswell before I release it.
