I'd like to pay homage to Stéphane Luizzi aka Shaan1974 who passed away last month and did a wonderful job on Puzzle Bobble's music.

He was awarded in 2022 with the best music and sfx for an Amstrad game at Xyphoe's Sugars.
 
RIP my friend... Time code:  1h42

Amstrad CPC hardware / Re: ULIfAC:Usb Mass storage,Wi...

I've also a problem with the ULIfAC V4 board. SymbOS 4.0 is starting and you can see the "starting screen" but when it should load the desktop the loading stops and you have a black screen.
In the V3 manual of the ULIfAC I found this section about the 464/6128 switch:
Although the above method seems to work fine in most cases (e.g. mostly games),some applications like SYMBOS and Future OS don't seem to "like" this trick, and will not load on a CPC 464. Also C3 mode is currently not supported, so CPM PLUS can‟t be loaded on CPC464 either.
I've also tried a CPC6128 which is working without a problem with ULIfAC and SymbOS 4.0

Yeah, that would be fantastic but I don't know how feasible...

Quote from: ChaRleyTroniC on Yesterday at 14:01It's terrific - a hugely enjoyable read, and a real selection of big names from the olden days. It brought back all kinds of memories.
Indeed. It's the same for me. ;)
I'm just 10 months back in the CPC world and ordered a magazine in May 2024.
Since then I read it countless times.
Great quality and a good mix of nostalgia, present and future.

I'm not used to the JavaCPC image tool, but as I said you could try ConvImpCPC. It has lots of gfx features, and the way to save pictures as compressed files

Very belatedly I just bought one of these. It's terrific - a hugely enjoyable read, and a real selection of big names from the olden days. It brought back all kinds of memories.

Quote from: harzretro on 20:05, 09 February 25I don't know WHY, but symbos is running from the masstorage, now!!!!
Very good news! :)
Did it just suddenly run with the same hardware/disc config you tried before, or did you change something?
Did you start it directly from the USB stick, or did you use McArtis 720K disc image to boot it?


Quote from: harzretro on 20:05, 09 February 25Is there a way to use the wifi from the ulifac?

IRC would be great ... talk to my c64 ;)
There is currently no Network Daemon driver available, as I still don't have a Wifi module.
I found an old eBay link for such a module, but it doesn't work anymore. I found actual ESP8266-01S wifi modules, but these have 8pin connectors, so I am not sure, if it would be ok to connect only the four GND, TXD, RXD, VCC pins to the Ulifac and leave the other four unused.
