- Installing the FutureOS lower ROM into 31 and enabling it does freeze the CPC. Switch it on and off doesn't work, reset M4 doesn't work either. But using the Web interface to reset the CPC actually does work every 2nd time. It's like a flip-flop. Did anybody experience such a phenomenon? Can somebody test this please?
- Hack-Menu: It does not return from FutureOS, instead the screen gets corrupted and the CPC freezes.
Thanks will investigate it further.
Finally I fired up my Plus with the almighty M4.
Tested the Cartridge function which works like a charm.
From 5 games I tested only Switchblade refused to load.
Time to visit that cpr conversion post that I only just watch for years now.
ALL cpc plus games should work. Did you try any other version of Switchblade? - Also you can try to use CPC reset after loading, if it doesnt start.
For the cpr conversions, its even neater, you can simply set M4 to rom7 (on CPC plus) and |cd directly into them and use cat/run. Of course you can reflash to a CPR cartridge aswell, just the other method is quicker and even works on regular CPC's.
When I try to load a bin file from the sd with
memory &8fff
load"tcpsrv.bin", &9000
I got a "SYNTAX ERROR".
Please try:
M4 Firmware v2.0.5 beta 12. Download:
http://spinpoint.org/cpc/M4FIRM_v205b12.zipUnpack to root of microSD and powercycle your CPC.
* FIX cas_out_open header manipulation after open.
Did a quick test with maxam 1.14 and it does a little sneaky thing to get a header on the file when using "write" directive.
This works now with M4 too.
