Norecess, known for his demos and tools, released the source code of the Windows version of SDCC2Pasmo.

The command-line usage is: SDCC2Pasmo sdcc_output.asm pasmo_compatible.asm

You can now download the code from Norecess’ productions section on his website.

TFM just released, as promised, a single version of his ROMManager for the Megaflash ROM interface and the Symbiface II . He also added the Inicron ROMBooster to the ROM, so you can now directly use up to 32 ROMs without installing the ROMBooster in ROM no. 15. You can download it from TFMs homepage http://www.futureos.de (in the download section). You can discuss the latest version or report errors in the CPCWiki forums.

Sep 032011

TFM released the first official version of the ROManager application for the MegaFlash from Bryce. After a long phase of testing by SyX the ROMananger in version 1.35 is now capable to perform the following tasks:

Park or Unpark a ROM
Clear a ROM
Copy, swap or shift ROMs
Test a ROM for name, version number and checksum.
Adapt a ROM checksum
ROMs can be loaded from disc or saved to disc.

There are versions for Basic (either from disc or ROM redident) or for FutureOS. The Basic version can work with different drives and OSs. The ROM resident version needs 32 KB, which equals two ROMs. A version which only needs one ROM is under development.

The ROManager including all source codes can be downloaded at: http://www.FutureOS.de
