Cool! Good work
Actually I was halfway into implementing the unlock/lock sequence, when I found that the best solution is to keep the CPC and CPC+ modes seperate. This using a .CPR/.BIN rom image and starting it with |CTR when wanting to use CPC+ mode roms on M4.
Ie. for one compatilibity with C4CPC.

I may change my mind again, but for now that would be the safe distribution form.

You mean, no change ?

I think that is the overall best solution. Use .CPR / .BIN with the correct roms setup. Came to think of it M4 is the only hardware that does have CPC+ ROM mapping and also runs on classic CPC, so there is no best practice (yet). In |CTR mode all cartridge ROMS are disabled via ROMDIS and M4 owns the entire ROM space, in normal mode, they can co-exist but if M4 starts mapping roms according to RMR2 bit, I dont think cartridge games nor C4CPC can co-exist.

1. With your first fixed, i have no problems! IMPdraw v2 runs perfectly and all the demos/games i've tested too.
2. With iMPdos i have no problems too.

Unfortunately, I won't do any cartridge version for the moment...

Is it a new firmware that has not yet been published?

It's just a patch that allows you to use AmstradPlus' features.

And now, catch and save your sprites ! It's easy to do.

GUNHED · 22:26, 28 May 20

Catch the sprite? You tell that as if it would be that easy, it just jumped out of the Window!

More serious, great too see this application growing - especially because it's for the Plus!

Of course! Eventually on the real machine we now have all the software we ever did dream of! And what I really like is, that we do have it running an real CPCs/Plus! There was a trend to do everything on a PC. Well, if everything is done on a PC then the question is: Why to use a CPC at all?

Now since we have DOS for modern mass storage, new GFX programs, assemblers and so on... we CAN use our Plus / CPCs for everything - and I love that.

New sector/memory edition on iMPdos.

I fixed the GUI and hunted some old bug.
Now, iMPdos is proposed in two versions 128 and 512.
It depends how much memory you have.
