Hi @GUNHED !!!,  just below someone has put a page with an article that I wrote in Spanish, but if you look at the post that I put first, I put the download link:
Quotedownload from CPC : |httpget,"cpcrulez.fr/m4/m4beta.bin"
@Skunkfish , about " .. is it possible to change the download folder " , yes : simply by selecting the folder with the file explorer. Once in the folder you have to start a download with the ESC key.

Thank you! This is all 'new' for me, do we have some ressources how to:
- Download something from the net
- Upload something in the net


It would be great to have some common 'source'. That way we all can use such great features for our games and applications.  :)

Hi guys,


I have been a little bit disconnected from the latest developments made for the M4 board firmware. I am trying to dowload the latest stable  v 2.0.5 or any newest beta which runs well (I currently have the 2.05B11 version installed) but I can not find any link to it neither in the cpc wiki website nor in the spinpoint website. Can you share a download link with me?


With my current version, the webmanager file brower has "stacked" in one particular folder and I can´t transfer files from my PC to the CPC. Besides, the |httpget command to download the cpcrulez front-end does not work (Error message: non supported). I guess everything will be solved with the latest version.


Thanks a lot in advance

Duke

Right here:
https://github.com/M4Duke/M4examples/blob/master/httpget.s

Though I think @hERMOL uses the RSX command from the M4 rom, in his cool program.

Thank you! Browsing through 105 pages is a little bit exhausting. I knew that there is a 2.0.6 beta but I guess that this version is directly provided by you. Am I right?


Best regards

Hello,
I have a little problem with creating the original "Space Race" with copy file M4 to true cpc disc.
Corruption with my file (Basic/Binary) to copy.
Copy the 11Ko but after the program is corrupted.
I using : |FCP,"C:*","A:"

The attribut of the files is not copied too (all my files is hidden, after copy, all is visible)

Thanks for your help.

I attached the menu in Basic/Binary file

Duke

M4 Board firmware v2.0.6 released.
Download here: http://www.spinpoint.org/cpc/M4FIRM_v206.zip and unpack to root of microSD, then power cycle the CPC with microSD inserted.
If you have not used any v2.0.6 beta, you can use |upgrade instead.

Changes since v2.0.5:

         
  • Fix bug in |FCP corrupting (amsdos) files when transfering from microSD to DISC. (Thanks @Kukulcan)
  • Fix |ROMUP issue (multiple rom upload)
  • Fix for NMI/HACKMENU (internal)
  • Fix maybe other smaller issues I have forgotten about.

thanks Duke

does this update correct attribut files copy ?

Sorry, no changes to attributes (all removed) in this version.

Thanks for the update. However, the issue with the 6128plus is still there.

Users of the 6128plus please apply in addition the M4FIRM_v206b2 upgrade (see post before).

I've to transfer many of my old 80 track 3.5" disks to sd-card but on nearly all of them, I've "hidden" the additional files, marking them as system files.
When I transfer my disk to sd using |fcp,"B:*","C:", these "hidden" files are not transferred at all.


Is it possible to get a |fcp-command which will also transfer these files?

That would be surely nice. Maybe as option? But a way should be there.  :)


Meanwhile hidden file can be transformed into normal files in (at least) two ways:
- Use X-DDOS: Use the command !ATTRIBUT,"*.*","D"
- FutureOS: Tag all files, goto REName, press Return for every file

Hi @Duke, I think it would be a good idea to include a modification in the firmware of the M4 that would allow to save configuration profiles, in order to be able to save different combinations of ROMS in a convenient way for its handling.

It uses AMSDOS cas_catalog to list the files for copying. If I am not mistaken there is some poke to list hidden files? (or perhaps only deleted files?).

Some years ago I made small program to use other ROM configurations, it is here:

Source : https://github.com/M4Duke/M4examples/commit/3be24cb048962ca36bfd1f04c17296a3a1b77fba
Binary: https://github.com/M4Duke/M4examples/commit/09cf2c95c6e00218fce00c2bc2f68608e2e45d00

Say you wanted different rom sets for easy exchanging, you could script it in a basic file, like this:

10 |copyf, "/romsets/romslots1.bin", "/m4/romslots.bin"
20 |copyf, "/romsets/romconfig1.bin", "/m4/romconfig.bin"
30 run"m4reconf.bin"

save"dev-roms.bas"

Or are you thinking about something else?

Hi.
I have a couple of minor issues with the M4. :-[
I have a 464. I've uploaded OS 1.1 and BASIC 1.1 to slots 31 and 0 respectively and activated Lowerrom.
464 now thinks it's 6128 ( without Amsdos) :D
M4 in slot 7, Maxam in 8 and Utopia in 9 but Utopia not being initialised. :-[
The other issue is that the M4 web interface is not showing the installed ROMS. ( This is very minor and I can live without it).


Otherwise, the M4 is great. :D :D


Update: Utopia works fine in slot 6. :D , don't know why it didn't like slot 9.

You have to give them a name description at the web interface before uploading.
