Changes
The program '''MegaFlashROManager''' for [[FutureOS|FutureOS]] and [[AMSDOS]]/[[BASIC]] allows the management of the 256 KB/512 KB Flash-ROM (=Pseudo-ROM) of the [[MegaFlash|MegaFlash]] developed by [[User:Bryce|Bryce]] of [[FutureSoft|FutureSoft]]. You can load/save all 16/32 ROMs at once. And every single 16 KB Flash-ROM can be managed individually. This software was developed by [[TFM|TFM]] of [[FutureSoft|FutureSoft]]. Versions for both OS are available now. A version for [[CPC464]] running in 64 KB will be released in future. Also a ROM version is planned.

*Park or Unpark ROMs: This is done by manipulating the Byte at &C000. A parked ROM will not be initialized by the firmware.
*Load ROM(s) (one or all 16/32): This function allows to load a 16 ROM (or 16 ROMs of 16 KB at once) and to install it in the MegaFlash. *Save ROM(s) (one or all 16/32): Saves one or all ROMs to disc or hard disc. This feature can be used to create backups.
*Copy ROM(s): Allows copying the content of one ROM select (16 KB) to another. You can use this function for example to copy the BASIC ROM to all free ROM selects.
*Shift ROM(s): Shifts a 16 KB ROM from one ROM select to another, the old ROM select will be filled with &FF bytes.
*Erase ROM(s): Deletes a 16 KB ROM with &FF bytes.
*Test ROM(s): Provide information about a ROM like Type, Version, Mark, ROM name etc. Further you can install the correct checksum to a changed ROM. The ROMs at position 0 (usually the BASIC ROM) and 7 (usually AmsDOS) are protected.
*Test Flash: This protocol checks the integrity of the 512 KB Flash in a relatively sophisticated way. But it takes 6 minutes.
The version for [[FutureOS]] is slightly advanced and more quick than the version for [[BASIC]]. The difference in comfort and speed is OS dependent.
