A herculean effort for sure, thanks for the work and dedication, hope to get more time to play some of these games soon!

happy new year!

Amazing progress! Please mark me down for one once you are ready.

I ended up removing and cleaning out the switch, and giving it a little bit of lubrication, works MUCH better now. I don't feel like I'm gonna snap it from force anymore.

I re-seated and cleaned the pins of the chip and get the same behavior. I may have missed it last time but there was a line this time that said something like HP=4XXXXX. Still get the error though.

I purchased some replacements, hopefully that will fix things up.

thanks so much for the help!

thanks for that info! running your flasher program I get: vendor: ?? bad eeprom diagnostics I get this: register.... ok vendor/dev.... 144/144 rom/xmode....error#1 ram-mode1....ok blk-protect....ok blk-disable....ok ram-mode2....ok fe3-512kb detected My card is in a 3d printed shell, I can't imagine...

I'm having some issues, hopefully someone can help out. I had been running a previous version of this firmware (Ultimate), and turned on my Vic-20 today and I get no menu etc, just a BASIC prompt. I want to upgrade to 1.7 so I have to use the flasher.prg as I have no menus of any kind. When I run fl...

Totally understand that being difficult. I will create a separate LOADER for just the carts in the top level dir.

thanks for your help!

These loader file only contain DOS commands and menu reload actions, they can't be written to flash. The batch loader skips entries like this, to flash entries with actual content currently requires you to use either the 'Flash Program' or 'Disk Loader' menus to traverse the SD card first. I'll hav...

I was able to get choices with the "Flash Program" option, but not the batch. Here is the petcat'ed output of my top level loader and then then other folder it points to: ;loader ==1201== 100 "fe3/" 110 +@"cd:fe3" 120 +reload ;loader ==0801== 10 "<Game Carts>"...

Sorry for the confusion, by the 2 LOADER files, I was assuming (since I haven't seen how the cart loading works yet for any firmware version) that you used a LOADER file with disk images, etc for the Disk Loader (and those LOADER files seem to have to stay on the SD card), and was wondering how you ...

Thanks for the firmware updates. Dug out my cart and upgraded it. How exactly does the "batch cart" feature work? Does it use the loader files? I should add an explanation to the docs. Yes, it allows you to flash a whole loader file in one go (rather than one entry at a time with "Fl...

Thanks for the firmware updates. Dug out my cart and upgraded it. How exactly does the "batch cart" feature work? Does it use the loader files? I've never been able to flash carts even with the stock firmware. I have disk images, etc showing up after using mkloader. I had tried making a lo...

awesome, thank you!

This is great, thanks so much for doing this. I've finally gotten around to reading the info on how to create the LOADER files. I have your collection sitting in a subdir on my sd card so I made a LOADER to be able to 'enter' that directory. Is it possible you could provide your .bas loader listings...

I have a 2 prong power model and the power switch on it is insanely hard to turn on. It seems to loosen up after a few uses, but always goes back to being super stiff. I'm always afraid I'm going to break something with all that force. Are there any suitable replacements that will fit through the sh...
