Quote from: steph072 on 12:59, 14 June 23Hello,
does some have the experience of running Symbos with ULIFAC ? Thank for advice.
Hello
I was able to install Symbos on the ULIFAC:
1. Load the ROM's
|MROM,"sym-romA.rom",2
|MROM,"sym-romB.rom",3
|MROM,"sym-romC.rom",4
|MROM,"sym-romD.rom",8
2. Activate ROM's:
|SW
3. Mount important drive:
|MG,"SYMBOS.DSK"    (original dsk-name: "SymbOS-CPC-AppsStandard.dsk")
|FDC
4. Start Symbos
|SYM
Very impressing software  :)

I have not been able to make it work in ULIIfAC + 464. I have loaded the roms in the assignments that you indicate, with the new ikonsgr system. I have followed the steps literally, but at the time of |SYM the system stops. I have used the files that you indicate from the official website.

Now, it this a software or hardware problem? Did you try to start FutureOS in this hardware setup? If it works I would vote for "Hardware is ok".
Good luck to getting SymbOs running!

Quote from: shacpc on 06:46, 02 September 25Hi John!, This app is a great help. I wonder if it would be interesting if file conversion could also be done "in bulk" rather than "one by one.". Thanks!
Most CPR files are for Amstrad PLUS only, so i didn't thought that a bulk conversion was necessary (Amstrad PLUS is not "officially" supported by ULIfAC, although it seems that in most part works ok, as noted by people who tried ULIfAC on PLUS machines).
Unless you tried this on Amstrad PLUS and manage to load cpr files...  ::)  In that case, maybe a bulk conversion would be useful  :)
It doesn't have to be CPC+... there are hundreds of CPR games (remapped for joystick use only on GX4000) that can run on any type of CPC.

That's why it would be interesting to have the option to convert several files at once.

If you take a look at the description of the cpr list, you will see that almost all games described as: "Converted by...", which probably means that all these games are NOT "rom cartridge only" games (like ALCON 2020 or Hyperdrive) but rather normal CPC games that are converted to cpr files for use on GΧ4000 emulators or burn eeprom cartridges. So most of these games can already be found in either direct files or dsk image format which is much more convenient and easy way to load, than using the bulky cpr cartridges  ;)

One of the great advantages of the conversion is that the controls are mapped to a gamepad and two buttons. As that's unfortunately not backported to the DSK (or the DSK is not available) the CPR is the only way to play those games so conveniently.

@shacpc, i've updated the CPR utility, and now you can select multiple cpr files and create multiple roms+loaders at once  ;)
But now i expect to give us results  :D
