Quite a few have asked for 3D printed case for later revisions of M4 board (v2.4 and v2.5).
Patrick (thanks!) has kindly shared this one for IDC connector:

I got it printed and find it too snug to fit the m4. Back to a bare board for me.

Hello to everyone,


I have ordered a M4 board (v2.5), which can be adapted to work on both CPC old and CPC+ models.


Is there any printed 3D case available for the aforementioned M4 version OR the ones already available fit it as well?


Thanks,
Dimitris/ Voxy

Didn't try to print it myself yet. Do you think it would help scaling it a couple of percent? Most slicers will let you scale it when printing.

Hi Duke,
just tried your little toolchain with RASM. What is the option "2" for uploading a file? 0=without header 1=with ASCII header 2=?.
When I try to execute a simple file like
org #8000
ld a,64
call #bb5a
ret

I do:
xfer -u 10.0.0.38 $(NAME_PART).bin / 2 8000 8000
[/size]
and then
[/size]
[/size]
xfer -x 10.0.0.38 /$(NAME_PART).bin
[/size]
But the CPC resets and the file isn't executed?

Option 2 is for adding a binary header. (see https://github.com/M4Duke/cpcxfer and make sure you are using v2.0.3 for cpcxfer)

Try adding jp &bb18 instead of the ret (so it waits for a keypress before returning to nothing).

The execution of that would be same as run"somefile.bin" on the CPC and a direct return would make the CPC reset.

Thanks Duke.
I missed the 2.0.3. version because I justed looked on the Wiki page.


I will give it a try.

Works fine here, with your example

org 0x8000
ld a,65
call 0xbb5a
jp 0xbb18


But you are running 2.0.4 beta 10, maybe there's a bug in it (not tested).
Can you try release version 2.0.4 ?

NPP_EXEC: "rasm"
CD: C:\rasm
Current directory: C:\rasm
rasm hal.s -o  hal
Process started >>>
Pre-processing [hal.s]
Assembling
Write binary file hal.bin (8 bytes)
<<< Process finished. (Exit code 0)
================ READY ================

CD: C:\rasm
Current directory: C:\rasm
xfer -u 10.0.0.38 hal.bin / 2 8000 8000
Process started >>>
Upload OK!
<<< Process finished. (Exit code 0)
xfer -x 10.0.0.38 /hal.bin
Process started >>>
Running /hal.bin
<<< Process finished. (Exit code 0)
================ READY ================

I found the reason: it's not the version, it is the folders decleration with xfer -u
If I do all the stuff in the roots folder then everything is fine.


By the way: the BIN file is transfered properly (in every version and every folder) onto the SD card. (If I run the code manually with "memory &7fff:load "test.bin":call &8000" it works as expected).


The only thing what doesn't work is running the file via "xfer -x ..." in a SUB-folder.

I see. Will check it out soon, thanks.

Hi @Duke
One question

is possible with xfer to load the binary on a remote cpc (with internet public ip)?
Is necessary to open ports?
Thankyou!

Yes, you will need to forward port 80 on your router to your CPC, then it should work fine with your external ip over the internet.

Hi again @Duke

Thankyou for all your help!
I'm doing a loader for a game that makes savegames to disk.
are the cas out routines of the firmware working on the M4?

thankyou!!
P.S. is the buffer of 2k used on disc/amsdos or the data is directly writed on floppy?

VincentGR

No luck with Shinobi as this CPC has no disk drive.
Tried to make the tape version to .dsk with 100% success... not  :picard:

do you want to try it?

Yes, as long as you are not inside a DSK.

It is used for cas_out_char.

The XOR cracked version, runs fine. Both 64KB and 128KB version.

VincentGR

Thank you very much for the file!


Duke, I tried all versions from cpc power and whatever was on my HDD with no results.


I have a Bruce Lee version that works if anyone wants it.

You must set M4 rom to 7 as xors crack re-init rom 7. If your CPC cant replace rom7 (regular 6128), use the modified lowerrom from here: http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/M4_Board
Almost all games should run just fine, once you use that or set M7 to rom 7 directly.

Shaun M. Neary

Setting the M4 to ROM 7 and ParaDOS to ROM 6 has given me the best results so far.
Give that a go, maybe?
Currently playing on: 2xCPC464, 1xCPC6128, 1x464Plus, 1x6128Plus, 2xGX4000. M4 board, ZMem 1MB and still forever playing Bruce Lee.
No cheats, snapshots or emulation. I play my games as they're intended to be played. What about you?
