In my hubris I've named this "Ultimate Expansion", I like to think I've made it a little better.
Changes are summarized below:
New Features
- Anonymous chain loading
- Bank-aware machine code monitor
- Batch cart image flashing
- Load & run wedge command (↑)
- RUN/STOP load from disk
- Faster entry to BASIC
- Faster loading from SD2IEC with Zippy
- More compact cart encoding
- Various bug fixes
It has had significant testing within VICE (without which development would have been much more difficult) and a limited amount of testing on a PAL
FE3. I've tried a selection of entries from the FE3 Collection image, fixing problems when I came across them.
I'd like to hear if the NTSC image works with real hardware, or if there are compatibility issues with loader files.
There is still some space left, I'd be interested to hear of any other enhancements people think could be made.
Please treat this as a Beta release, only try it out if you are comfortable with reflashing the FE3 firmware using a standalone program (in case of problems). I would recommend backing up any current cart images (tools provided) and taking a note of your current firmware version first.
