 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Maybe Clear_Flash.uf2 would help? John |

Hi Peter, Thanks for b18. I especially like the a: and b: , was getting bored in typing the chdir's and quotes all the time. Also the wildcards (*) are very usefull. The one thing that could be added is to default to strings for the disk commands on commandline. i.e. kill pluriel.bas in stead of kill "pluriel.bas" But this would be the topping on the cake. The cake as such is tasty enough... Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Hi Peter, The latest upload to https://github.com/UKTailwind/PicoMite seems to be borked, I think either CMakeLists.txt or pico_sdk_import.cmake are in the wrong directory, I suspect the former. A good reason for not doing that is that pluriel.bas is a valid MMBasic variable name. Best wishes, Tom Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

Put them where you want. I make no pretence that the github is any use other than a repository of the files |

Is there a possibility to copy files from drive b: to drive a: ? I tried things like b: copy "test.bas" to "a:" copy "test.bas" to "a:test" 'after making a directory "test" on drive a: copy "test.bas" to "a:/test" But these do not seem to work.... Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Just put the filename in both descriptors copy "test.bas" to "a:/test/test.bas" |

Hi Peter, I know you are playing with memory allocation to support the small tiles, so that is why I performed this test on V50707B18 (the day before...). The copy command somewhere goes wrong when copying from one drive to another. See below listing. I copy a 12kbyte file from SD card to drive a: EDIT: after posting I noticed that the time of writing the file on the a: drive is not updated (it is 1980). Since this system has a real time clock, the time should be actual when all copying is finished. Maybe this information is usefull. > ?mm.ver 5.070718 > a: > files A:/ <DIR> . <DIR> .. <DIR> test 11:35 16-02-2023 4 bootcount 3 directories, 1 file > chdir "test" > files A:/test <DIR> . <DIR> .. 00:00 00-00-1980 12288 test.bas 2 directories, 1 file > kill "test.bas" > files A:/test <DIR> . <DIR> .. 2 directories, 0 files > chdir ".." > files A:/ <DIR> . <DIR> .. <DIR> test 11:35 16-02-2023 4 bootcount 3 directories, 1 file > b: > files B:/ <DIR> .Trash-1000 <DIR> Balls <DIR> chess_graphics <DIR> circle <DIR> clockclock <DIR> colortext <DIR> devices <DIR> DireStraits <DIR> DOCUMENTS <DIR> ello_chess <DIR> entertainer <DIR> mandelbrot <DIR> ontheroad <DIR> peter_balls <DIR> picochess <DIR> picofrog <DIR> picoroad <DIR> picovaders <DIR> piones <DIR> scale_tree <DIR> solar_clock <DIR> solar_eclips <DIR> spred <DIR> spritedemo <DIR> sstv <DIR> temp <DIR> ter_seq 15:36 06-02-2023 3584 banner.bmp 12:19 07-11-2022 1247 bitbang_IR.BAS 14:22 21-11-2022 623 bubble_bleep.BAS 09:59 22-11-2022 651 bubble_pico1.BAS 15:44 15-11-2022 461 bubbles.BAS 16:42 15-11-2022 489 bubbles_framebuffer.BAS 13:20 09-12-2022 3916 freq_countr.BAS 16:27 27-01-2023 12408 LA_10.bas 13:09 27-01-2023 12328 LA_10t.bas 01:46 28-01-2023 14060 LA_11.bas 18:36 29-01-2023 15051 LA_12.bas 17:53 31-01-2023 16121 LA_13.bas 16:40 01-02-2023 16031 LA_14.bas 17:31 02-02-2023 17044 LA_15.bas 21:57 02-02-2023 18392 LA_16.bas 12:22 03-02-2023 18476 LA_17.bas 14:58 03-02-2023 26403 LA_20.bas 22:42 06-02-2023 21190 LA_21.bas 22:55 25-01-2023 12898 LA_9.bas 23:00 25-01-2023 921654 LA_9.bmp 09:17 24-01-2023 702 la_screen_1.bas 18:41 31-01-2023 98614 logic3.bmp 18:48 31-01-2023 6311 logic3.jpg 18:54 31-01-2023 9623 logic4.jpg 16:08 03-11-2022 1840 snakes_and_ladders.BAS 16:19 24-01-2023 1877 TLSS_pico.bas 27 directories, 26 files > copy "LA_09.bas" to "a:/test/test.bas" Error : Could not find the file > copy "LA_9.bas" to "a:/test/test.bas" Error : A hard error occurred in the low level disk I/O layer > a: > files A:/ <DIR> . <DIR> .. <DIR> test 11:35 16-02-2023 4 bootcount 3 directories, 1 file > chdir "test" > files A:/test <DIR> . <DIR> .. 00:00 00-00-1980 12288 test.bas 2 directories, 1 file The error message is scaring, and the resulting file size on a: is smaller than the file size on the SD card.

V5.07.07b24 https://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Beta.zip Depending on the previous release you were running this may clear all flash and options Fixed bug in Triangle command not drawing border and fill in correct colours Changes to flash access speeds to improve stability at cpu speeds > 200MHz PicoMiteVGA changes: BREAKING CHANGE Tiles are now 8 pixels wide and not 16. The default tile height is 12 pixels to match font 1 new command TILE HEIGHT n' n can be a number between 12 and 480. in mode 1 colours can now be used with the text command. This will be applied if the character being written aligns with tile boundaries e.g. TILE HEIGHT 50 TEXT 8,50,"12:20:40",,,,rgb(red),rgb(green) Colour editing is now available in Mode 1 with OPTION COLOURCODE ON set |

Hi Peter, I just tried V50707b25 with the LA_21_b24.bas program and noticed the left hand side text is inverted (black ink on white background). on b24 this was correct (white ink on black background). I can correct this in the LA_21_xx program, but I was wondering why. Maybe I took some shortcuts that where previously allowed, and need extra color setting defined now. I can always replace the "print" statements with "text" statements and define a color to my liking. Maybe it is the interaction between COLOR a,b and CLS x and the print statement. I have the feeling the color a,b does not work the same on the printed text. In the OPTION LIST I have currently NO settings that define colors or tiles. Just OTB. B.T.W. This b25 version does not erase options versus the previous b24 version. Regards, Volhout Edited 2023-03-06 19:41 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

I noticed something in V5.07.07b25 (haven't tried every single Beta so I can't say, if this is new) Using Edit in mode 1 with colorcode off Marked Lines (F4) are not highlighted mode 1 with colorcode on Maked Lines (F4) are highlighted, but White on Black, if they are deselected.

The start address for the calltable is now at 0x10000308 Also I think these new calls are only partially implemented. I see them in the code but they don't seem to be in the calltable definition. #define CFuncInt3 (*(unsigned int *) Vector_CFuncInt3) #define CFuncInt4 (*(unsigned int *) Vector_CFuncInt4) #define PIOExecute(a,b,c) ((void (*)(int, int, unsigned int)) Vector_PIOExecute) (a,b,c) #define CFuncTimer (*(unsigned int *) Vector_CFuncTimer) #define SetUpCFunctTimer ((void (*)(int)) Vector_SetUpCFunctTimer) (a) Latest F4 Latest H7 |

Hi Peter, Something fishy (tiley?) going on, this should (and in the past did) print "Hello Wolrd" in black on white ten times, now it prints it alternating black on white and white on black, five times each. Mode 1 Dim i% For i% = 1 To 10 Text 0, Mm.Info(FontHeight) * i% * 1.5, "Hello World", LT, 1, 1, Rgb(Black), Rgb(White) Next If this is intended (please "no") then can you tell me what I should be doing instead? EDIT: does TEXT now have to be aligned on tile boundaries ? Best wishes, Tom Edited 2023-03-06 22:39 by thwill Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

You are incrementing the y coordinate by 1.5 so every other output is not aligned with a tile hence the colours are ignored. This has never worked and never could have |
