Hi All

I am looking for a File Editor that can allow me to edit a ROM File (hex)

Is there a stand alone Program or a Suitable Rom that I can use ?

Thanks

I am trying to change The RSX Name of " Roman2" from  "ROM" to "ROM2" as it now conflicts with the ULIFAC.

Thanks

Do it in Windows. Take e.g. HxD (free Hex-Editor), load the Rom file into it and change the name, write it back. But you should take a name with the same length, because it's hard coded. Otherwise you create an address conflict.

You can edit any ROM with the ROManager 2.43 for FutureOS.  :)

ROManager does exist as 16 KB ROM too. And you won't need romam any longer.  ;) :)

Thanks to ALL who offered suggestions

But after 3 Days, Trying I have not been successful.

I will provide the Roman2 Rom in the chance that somebody would be able to help

The Original Commands are To activate The ROM either |ROM  or |ROMAN
If it is possible to Get the commands to Be " |ROM2 AND |ROMAN

Thanks

It's not possible to extend the RSX to 4 letters without relocation of the addresses.
The RSX is stored in the code with "RO","M"+&80.
You need to find a 3 letter name and store it in the same way "??","?"+&80

@HAL6128 

Ok Thanks for That

Perhaps Just Make it "RAY" so it does not conflict with "ROM"

Thats all I can think of to get around the concern

So the Commands would Be " |ROMAN " and |RAY" 

If That could be done That would be Great

Thanks for looking into it

Thanks

Ok, then I did that for you using ROManager
- You get the ROM2 command
- You get the RAY command

Have fun!

@GUNHED (TFM)

Thanks for that.
I will test it over the next 2 days and see how it works 

I tried to find your ROManager on your site but was not able to find it.

Would it be possible to send me a copy or a link to it Please

Thanks for all your work on this project

Thanks

There's also another alternative to use ROManager 2.0 : it's to use the floppy disc in file version.
The DSK version can be used as desired:
  • on a real 3" or 3"1/2 disc.
  • with a Gotek.
  • or on any expansion board like M4 Boad, USIfAC II, ULIfAC, others... with a USB key.

The big advantage is that it doesn't occupy any slot of a romboard.
And no more conflicts with a ULIfAC or USIfAC II card.

But the result is 100% identical. 😉

Just run the program with run"DISC

Ok Thanks for the thought

I have a working Rom that will suffice.

But a good Idea anyway

Thanks

You can go to www.futureos.de (see my signature), then you click at 'Downloads' at the left side. Now scroll down you'll find it.  :) But I guess your problem is solved anyway.  :) :) :)
