Hi Geoff,

If Peter and/or A.N.Other haven't looked at this by the New Year then please drop me a PM and I'll see if I can do anything, but not before then, too much else to do.

Best wishes,

Tom

Thanks for the offer Tom.

I'm not so concerned now as I thought it might have been something in my code that was causing the problem and now it appears to be a non-fatal bug. I'm sure it will be dealt with in the near future.

In the mean time I can continue with my project knowing that my little bit of code was not the actual cause of the graphic artifacts. They will hopefully disappear when MMB4W is next updated.

EDIT OK, sorry I got confused going back and forth to the search and the listing and posted this on the wrong thread. That being said I still can't find the last posting on the Betas for the CMM2s so I still need some help. thank.

Hi all. I have not seen anything on this subject for a while and I was trying to do a search on the forum for a subject started about having to use a VGA to HDMI dongle with the CMM2 where Matherp added a new offset command to adjust the screen positioning that worked pretty damn well and I lost my notes on how to set the setting. I would also like to ask Matherp if the offsetting command was in the newest version and if not could they be added in. If I flash a new version without them I go back to not being able to use my CMM2s. I am wondering why I can't seem to find anything with the search system. I tried limiting to my own user name and it still would not show me anything on the subject. Thank you for any help you can give.

Thanks but I did do that but auto-fill on Chrome filled in a wrong user name and it did not find it. When I fixed that it came up. https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=15805&P=1

Matherp posted a version here and the command syntax. It makes using a VGA to HDMI adapter very functional and as it is an option that is non-volital after you monkey around and get it as best you can it sticks for every mode you set. Only a few modes are not perfect but He indicated many had those modes that did not work on certain monitors. I hope he maintains this option in future updates.

Try this

CMM2V1.5.zip

Load the new firmware, you may get a garbled screen so before anything else note your current options (OPTION LIST) and then type

OPTION RESET

Then you can use a new command

OPTION HORIZONTAL OFFSET mode, offset

mode is the screen mode you want to tune (1 to 18)
offset is the offset in pixels to move the display horizontally (-128 to 127)

Once again thanks.

For many months now across at least three versions of MMB4W, I get just a blank screen, like this:

I don't have a ">" prompt, and no matter how many times I hit <Enter>, I never get one. CLS RGB(RED) has no result. The window closes if I type "quit" and <Enter>.

I've deleted the .options file in MyDocuments without any change in behavior (it's recreated when I run MMBasic).

I'm running Win10. MMB4W worked for me for a long time after it was introduced. I have no idea what changed to cause this current behavior, and no exact memory of when it started.

Any ideas about how I may fix this?

EDIT: I've just found that if I type MODE 2, I get a prompt, and CLS RGB(red) and CLS work.

EDIT2: And now, everything runs. What weird state was I in that was fixed by entering MODE 2?

I have been testing the INPUT command and the INPUT$ function after results from another post. I have an MM2 which is connected to COM3 and it is running the program:

DO
PRINT "Hello I'm the MM2"
PAUSE(10)
LOOP

I have verified the output using Teraterm

Using MMB4W running this program:

OPEN "com3: 38400" AS #2
test$ = INPUT$(20,#2)
PRINT test$
CLOSE #2

I get this result:

If I run this program:

OPEN "com3: 38400" AS #2
input #2, test$
print test$
CLOSE #2

MMB4W opens and crashes and I see nothing

Both programs work as expected (by me) in MMBasic for DOS. Sometimes the result is garbled until it is synchronised by the PAUSE in the MM2 but that is not surprising.

I believe this is a bug or 2 unless I am doing something stupid.

Works the same as the previous one for me. Did you send the new version? It's the same size as before.
