And it's much much easier to handle one single CPR instead of dealing with 8, 16, 32 or what ever number of single 16K ROM files.

Well, I never understood why to use CPRs instead of ROMs directly. A CPR file has no advantage (or has it one?), but just fills in some bytes for no gain. What do you think?
Suggesting to move to read ROM content in general! 

IMO You are viewing this from a developer's perspective.

From a user's point of view, it makes perfect sense to me to have a dedicated file format for cartridges.

One for tapes, one for discs, one for cartridges, one for ROMs.. all good.

Oh, that looks dodgy. Have you removed all the socketed IC's and cleaned their pins?

Bryce.

I did not try that. However, I did try and press all of them to make sure they were secured in place. My oscilloscope will arrive today or tomorrow so there is much to do next weekend.

Does anybody here know how to use 2 disk faces on M4 ? I'm still unable to play it on real hardware.

Thanks to all @Nich @Urusergi @iXien @Phantomz @dragon for you amazing work about CPR revolution.
I am not against GX4000 indeed. It is really a pity that the enhanced version (bigger and hide screen...) cannot works on GX4000.
Thanks again.

And finally, an AMSDOS version spread on 2 regular DSK files. Glory !
Simply flip side when you see the border turn to White.

Just some feedback from myself as I have not seen anyone reporting using the game with the ULIFAC. I could start the game (mass storage / file version) without any issues. I have not played far into the game but it seems to work just fine. Merci beaucoup, Jean-Marie !
