Great job Ast. It's something I'll use with my CPC 464. Can you paste the commands? Maybe you implemented a /help?

@lucsg6128 :

incessamment sous peu

Ast · « **Reply #33 on:** 14:33, 15 March 17 »

Just added the "save" function.

Now :

|s,"file.xxx" -> save a basic file
|s,"file.xxx",&3200,&800,&32e0 -> save a binary file
Start = &3200
Lengh = &800
Exec = &32e0

Hi!

Today i need your help.
Since i have added the last command (|s), i have
discovered a strange bug.
Each command work correctly but when i do, for example, many commands as :
Save then Load, i've a strange bug because my Cpc freezes !
Why ? Have you any idea ?

I will happily debug it if you want to send me impdos via e-mail?

I am guessing, but maybe this helps?

- Do you use di/ei? Maybe ints are not turned back on again?
- do you change interrupts for firmware (write to 0038 to set your own interrupt handler)? Maybe this needs to be restored.
- maybe the cpc is waiting for answer from x-mass and the code is in a infinite loop?
- maybe the rom state has changed and firmware is confused if upper/lower rom is enabled or not?
- do you use af',bc',hl',de'?

Could you reproduce the bug in WinApe?

Why not ? Please give me information about this. Maybe I did something bad.

Is it a mistake to use IY register in my Rom ? Must i use IX instead of IY ?

No.

I make heavy usage of both registers without a Problem.
(i think, Amstrad/Locomotive Software doesn''t use IX+IY)

Ast · « **Reply #42 on:** 22:20, 16 March 17 »

My problem is solved !!!!
Thanks for your great advices !

Ast · « **Reply #43 on:** 13:46, 17 March 17 »

Is someone ready to make iMPdos testing, feedback and bug reporting today ?

What do you need for your tests ?

-A real Amstrad Cpc/Cpc Plus
-An X-Mass
-An X-Mem (or Something else Rom/Ram)

The first answer wins the deal.
Thanks.

Ast · « **Reply #44 on:** 14:08, 22 March 17 »

Still on full Coding...
I am working Step by step and this rom begins to be something fine.
Thanks to hidden friends for Beta-testing iMPdos.
Bugs hunters are also welcomed.

Ast · « **Reply #45 on:** 14:00, 05 April 17 »

Just added |diff,"filename" which consists of
Looking at original file and the one copied on the X-Mass.
If there are No differences, a message will be displayed.
If there are differences, a message and the adress where
the file is different will be displayed.

I am still working on ascii adding to use 100% OrgAms files on x-mass.

Stay tuned!

Ast · « **Reply #46 on:** 14:00, 18 April 17 »

Still wip, what do you need for your x-mass interface ?
Give me ideas, i will try to make your dreams true.
