Ok, here comes

Jeff, wouldn't it be nice to release a document with the various error codes?

Jeff, wouldn't it be nice to release a document with the various error codes?

Which error code ?

[Gryzor]

Which error code ?

All the errors we've seen, like the [64] or the one above... I don't know how many there are, but few or many, they'd make a great addition to the documentation...

This is a CPC error code.
I don't have the exact meaning.

Jeff, he meant this :

Code Select Expand


ret=Floprd((unsigned char*)&sector, floppydrive, 0, 255, 1 );
if(!ret)
{
dass=(direct_access_status_sector *)sector;
if(!strcmp(dass->DAHEADERSIGNATURE,"HxCFEDA"))
{
hxc_printf(FIRMWARE_VERSION_X_POS,FIRMWARE_VERSION_Y_POS,"- Firmware %s" ,dass->FIRMWAREVERSION);
return 1;
}


hxc_printf_box_error("Bad signature - HxC Floppy Emulator not found!");
}
hxc_printf_box_error("ERROR: Floppy Access error!  [%d]",ret);


hxc_printf_box_error function being a blocking one cf. never returns

Yes i know... but as i wrote the value in "ret" come from the Amstrad CPC OS (from the floppy read sector function ...) that's all...

[norecess]

Ah, ok. I can not help on my side too. Perhaps Kevin Thacker can? (arnoldemu)

I wished I would have the time to make a FutureOS version out of it. That would omit some probs.

I tried the latest fw (1.6.0) and latest selector 2.1a. Unfortunately I still get the weird "every folder has the same files" -problem.

Is this a known problem?

Good news: I finally found the source of the bug ..... into the SDCC compiler  ...
Norecess will release the stable version of the file image selector very soon. 

[emuola]

Awesome work Jeff You rock \m/

[norecess]

Norecess will release the stable version of the file image selector very soon.

Yeah it should be released during this week-end or in the very beginning of next week, it all depends about my available spare time versus family constraints

The worst case! But helps oneself to get thrust in the own code again :-)

Here we are : version 2.2 of the manager just got released ! http://www.norecess.net/hxc-floppy-emulator-manager.html
If you have issues with the version, please give your reports here.

[emuola]

Woohoo! With some initial tests I can confirm that now the files/folders are displayed correctly This is pure awesomeness Thank you guys for your efforts!

I just installed the latest firmware* and tested HxC 2.2 and I must say it is "awesome"!


I have my HxC SDCard connected to my 6128+ as |B drive and the previous versions would not load for me, but this version works absolutely fine.  It is very fast and works a treat.  I am very happy - and would really advise others to upgrade or start with this version.


*Just to mention - I had to install the firmware from v1 and then upgrade to v1.6 (even though I had 1.3 installed) - after I did it from scratch, everything worked superbly.


Great job guys - very impressed, keep up the good work 


EDIT: One thing I did notice.... having the HxC SDCard as |B drive, if I kept a disc in the internal disc drive and run"HXC, it would error with an 'error [64]' message.  After ejecting the internal disc and retrying, the HxC2.2 initialises okay and everything works okay.  Was this just something I did wrong or is this a known issue?  (I confess I've not read all 8 pages of this thread to check)
