Does it work again in v0.99a4 if you replace the _UNO file in the BPLUGINS folder with the _UNO file from the v0.24 release?

Hi Bob, thanks for your great work on this application. I have detected that the ZX-Uno custom options are not being recorded in the slots. Does changing options from the main window still work - can you change the video timings, CPU speed etc? I don't suppose you know which version this stopped wo...

Can you please add to ZIP package also TXT info about used DIVMMC ram pages ? Now may be on DIVMMC used more than 128kB we need info about software expansion. This is already included in the plugins/plugins_sdk.txt file. With new CPLD firmware(2023): - on DIVMMC 128kB is used ram 0-4 for ESXDOS, ra...

Head Over Heels.

New test version available here . This adds support for Sound Tracker Pro (.stp) music files. Debugging this new plugin also uncovered a bug introduced during the assembly rewrite which stopped the browser navigation keys moving to next, previous, first and last songs correctly during playback. This...

New test version available here.

This should fix the reported issue with Kempston joystick right / page down not working correctly.

.brwscfg works for me. I've tested it on my +2 and under 128k emulation in Fuse and not encountered any issues.

New test version available here.

This should fix the reported Kempston joystick issue and the clipboard paste command which got broken in the assembly rewrite.

New test version available here . Bumped version to 0.99 as this is now a full assembly rewrite of the existing code and I wanted to differentiate it from the current version. I'm expecting bugs and broken features but these will be ironed out before I release version 1.00. I haven't exhaustively te...

This is way off topic, but does bobs browser work on a standard divide like the 57c I have? I've got it in my head that it doesn't. I don't own a divIDE but I have had reports and seen YouTube videos of people using my browser with it. After copying over the modified BIN and SYS files from the brow...

Today I did a more comprehensive test of my ZX-Uno sd card with the latest LFN 25-3. I ruled out the possibility, that cluster size was an important factor, after testing two different 16Gb SD cards, with 4096 and 8192 values. In both cases, LFN worked well, with the minimum required files to work ...

I don't appear to have a PM off you. My mailbox isn't full so I'm not sure what is going on.

It's probably not device number related as the browser won't start at all if that is not correct.

Maybe it's the cause of the problem, because I'm not using the whole 16Gb sd card, just a first 5 Gb FAT32 partition on it, for easier backup. The rest is unallocated space. No, it's probably a bug in the C code I rewrote in assembly. If you can zip up the disk image and make it available for downl...

"Auto detect" is the best option as it uses information from the esxDOS file system to get the correct device number. The other system where you manually set the device number is left behind code from the old version for people who have set up multiple partition devices before v0.16. I sho...

Apologies, could not find the answer (did I miss it?), so I would like to clarify one thing about devices, partitions and "Auto detect device" control. It looks like "Auto detect device" must be "ON" if esxDOS is not on the first partition on the SD card. Is that expec...

I tested it on the Omni and the eLeMeNt as usual and this version works fine on both machines. Many thanks for your work @bob_fossil . This version seems to be slightly faster or more snappy. But maybe this is just in my mind. The last bit of FAT code was the one that was doing the bulk of the work...

I've updated the code in the previous link, so please re-download it. After releasing it yesterday I found two issues with the new FAT code which should now be fixed. I also managed to get the TAP plugin to support the new realtime tape loading mode for ZX-UNOs. For the moment, to enable it you need...

New test version available here . Final bit of size reduction in the FAT handling code as it's now all written in assembly. Seems to work on my FAT32 setup under emulation in Fuse and in FAT16 on my +2 - but there may be issues. Typically this would manifest itself as corrupted or empty directory li...

I do not understand what is the point of loading a tape image file at normal speed off a memory card-based interface :? Neither can I. :) If you want to load a .tap at normal speed you can convert it to a .pzx file and load it that way. The supplied source code for the PZX plugin could be taken as ...

And now I tested it on the eLeMeNt, no problems either. Thanks for the update @bob_fossil . Overwriting a SNA is a nice feature that comes in handy when using SNA as savestates. Just curious, would it be possible to save in Z80 instead of SNA as this format is more compatible. It's possible but it'...

New test version available here.

More size reduction as I've completed the refactoring of the FAT initialisation code to assembly (just one C function left to refactor in the FAT code now).
You can now overwrite an existing filename when you save a snapshot from the browser.

I've updated the zip file linked in my previous post so it now contains a .dsk file. Seems to run from Loader under +3 emulation in Fuse. Not sure if this is what you need but at least I now know how to do disk releases for the +3.

Here's my patch with the +2 trainer options from the original mod preserved:

Did the previous .sna file fix the screen corruption for you? I've put an updated file at: http://www.thefossilrecord.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/zx/fs8.zip The Game Over crash was due to an off by one error in one of my patches. Assuming you've got the contents of bank 1 into bank 4, the following pok...

The following patched .sna file seems to fix the screen glitching on my +2. http://www.thefossilrecord.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/zx/fs5.zip Long story short, I moved the music to another memory bank and then patched the code at $a9a9 (and a couple of other places) to page bank 20 in, instead of bank ...
