Feature-Request for M4ROM:
Function "fio_jvec()"  ("fio jump vector" / #CD30):
Exit the function with "jp #be7f" (like #CD49 in CPC6128-AMSDOS). 

I wanted to add this, but not good for CPC464 

Thnx for your try, but why this is not good for the 464? The 464 has the same AMSDOS-Version as 664&6128.

By default there is no AMSDOS on 464, and M4 works without AMSDOS too.

Hi guys! Well, I'm not so much into native OS..., but would it make any small sense to have M4 ROM for 6128/664 and another one for the 464?  :)


IMHO the majority of CPC users today use the 6128, so IMHO it would be good to focus on the CPC6128.  :)

Oh Yes, that's Right and cool to support 464 without AMSDOS.


So it's needed an statment like  :D
   ld a,(amsdos_ver)
   cp #0
   ret z     ;no_amsdos_rom
   jp #be7f

I think I have literally sold M4 boards for hundreds of CPC464 users. So  I prefer to stay compatible as much as possible without further complicating things. And there will also be a solution for this case :)

Sure, something like that is possible, if you want to have your hook only work when AMSDOS is present.

Yes, not perfect, but IMHO will be a start.
If sometime an application uses the hook, i think, there could be an idea found, to implement it for non-AMSDOS-Machines.


And no, Gryzor's "Remove formatting" dont work :(

Ok, will add it then.
A sanity check might be better though ? - Ok you will loose 3 bytes if you put your routine directly at 0xBE7F...

ld a,(&BE7F)
cp &C3
ret nz (yes yes push pop etc ...)

Very interesting! And it makes sense, this way they don't need a DDI-1.  :)

M4 Firmware v2.0.5 beta 7 now available.
Download here: http://www.spinpoint.org/cpc/M4FIRM_v205b7.zip

New feature is Hack Menu
This will allow you to save snapshots (SNA's) while playing games and other things.
Also possible to load snapshots from it.
Later if there is enough interest, I can add stuff like:

       
  • Pokes
  • Hex editor
  • Screenshot
It is very beta atm. so probably full of bugs :)
See video here for usage:

Fantastic work as always! Reminds me of the Action Replay on C64 and Amiga!

Hack Menu: best christmas present ever!!!!  :o (except Amstrad CPC in 1987  :laugh:

Thank you very much, Duke

Very cool idea, indeed!
There's a crash with my CPC: by starting the Hack Menu it freezes the CPC.
I'm working with the Modified Lower Rom on "0" and "M4" ROM on "6", and others. CPC6128 with a 1MB memory expansion + PlayCity attached.


Edit: Removed the PlayCity and now it works fine!
...proudly supported Schnapps Demo, Pentomino and NQ-Music-Disc with GFX

Wow, what an amazing new surprise feature!  I really do love my M4 Board.

Hi Duke,

Do you happen to have a change log available for the Betas? Since moving to beta today from 2.0.4 the performance of loading game lists must be 50x faster and was curious to see if this was an intended fix.

I downloaded the TOSEC collection yesterday and was having to break folders down into less than 100 and even then some folders wouldn't even load and corrupted the dir.txt file.  I suspected it was due to weird filenames.

I'm super pleased with performance/reliability increase of the web interface with the beta.

I have noticed a small bug though. 

When you run a dsk it now redirects to a page called "Starting" then reverts back to the list.  Works fine on my PC but on my iPhone which was fine before now tries to do a DNS lookup against my ISP DNS servers and fails.  See attached.

Again thank you for your amazing device!

EDIT:  Looks like when I access the interface via IP then run a game it changes the URL to hostname which doesn't seem to work in safari. (iPhone)

Thanks
Mark

Maybe not all devices like the use of the NMI signal. Not sure if that is the problem with PlayCity (don't have one).

The changelog is here:
http://www.spinpoint.org/cpc/m4info.txt
It's correct there was a fix for the fat sdio that would give strange results if too many files on the microSD (and I can see I forgot to add it to the changelog, -doh!).

Makes sense it will not work with all devices using the hostname. I will look into using the IP instead when that's used to enter the web UI. Thanks.

Pokes using the CPCEMU poke database format would be awesome, especially if the M4 remembers the name of the last runned game to position to the first letter of the poke database or even the good name of the database.


I have started to use directories, in the web page if I have moved into a directory, a file uploaded will still be at the root of the SD. Would it be possible to upload to the current directory on the web page ?

nice job Duke with beta 7I have some graphic color bugs when I'm using the snapshot function on my CPC6128 CRTC1 .
and when I'm typing the filename on my CPC, it is running too fast, to all my letters entries are double. I have to press each keys very fast.TTEESSTT.SSNNAA  ;D

Woooow awesome update thanks a lot Duke!
Users always ask for more so mayke a AZERTY keyboard support in hack menu, or a way to launch hack menu from the CPC itself would be great but anyway here is a huge thank you for your work!!
