New NMI handler / .commands (Page 6 of 16)

Hello,
very nice to have something to test again
Very good work
The Custom module folder is stored in /sys ?
Bye for now,
Günter

Thank you very much. But can we please have back a display of the version number of NMI.SYS?

ESXDOS not contain trdos code for save betadisk snapshot. Support loading snapshot, but not saving.

It´s enough for my to display the version on K-Configuration Screen. (I didn´t notice it).
Only display it in Status-line if you have spare place (or until it reaches final development state :-)).

Regards,

Luzie

I've found no issues in last version, a great job, and very flexible now with the custom module option. Nothing else to say but contratulations to DrSlump, a great great job :-)

PS: I have added this thread in the ZX-Uno FAQ so pleople who want to POKE games using ZX-Uno know about this new handler ;-)

Hi Uto, my NMI.SYS is ready to be able to change the drive, but there should be some problem with version 0.8.x of esxdos because I have not been able to make it work with a drive other than the system/boot one.

I've been doing more tests to change the unit and it works! I think a new version will come out shortly

I have been doing tests and esxDOS only reports up to four units (I have tested two SD cards with combinations of up to 4 partitions each).

What do you prefer, 0,1,2,3 keys to direct select hd0 to hd3, or a menu to choose the unit from a list (cursor keys and enter)?

I currently have the first option implemented.

Hello,
Here is a preview of version 0.0.11, it is still in development but the drive change works fine. Also I have increased the space for overlays, which goes from 512 to 749 bytes. Besides that, I have corrected small errors and I am doing tests to be able to use dot commands from NMI.sys.

Excellent work,
but is it possible that the keyboard reacts a bit sluggishly?
If I call z as dot commando, the paper is black.

This seems to be only true with SpecEmu! ZEsarUX shows only on drive. But in ZEsarUX (actual Beta 6.0) there´s no option to attach a second Harddisk-Image as drive.

Kempton detection code is not good. If I connect different device with readable port 31 then controll of cursor in NMI browser is unstable. If kemspton code detect LEFT+RIGHT or UP+DOWN then must disconnect kempston controll, else is controll unstable.

Here is fixed detection:

Kempston Joystick detection +reading.
After each interrupt in filebrowser we must call detection routine which detect if kempston port 31 contain correct data, else disable kempston controll.
;This code read kempston joystick port and detect if port contain correct data. If detect any incorrect states then disable all next reading of joystick port and always return value 0.
KEMPSTON: EI
HALT
XOR A
HERE: CALL DETECTJOY  ;test/read joystick always after interrupt
LD A,B
RET NZ ;detected correct joystick data
LD A,201 ;code of instruction RET (modifiing code for disable next reading joy port)
LD (HERE),A ;detected incorrect joystick data, then disable next joystick testing and will return alway 0
RET
DETECTJOY: IN A,(31)
AND 31
LD B,A ;backup joy state
AND 3
CP 3  ;detected incorrect state right+left
RET Z
LD A,B
AND 12
CP 12 ;detected incorrect state up+down
RET
In filebrowser you can use one CALL KEMPSTON and code return in register A usable value.
Now is time for testing direction: (you must always test full byte, not only active bits for corresponding directions. It's not game but filebrowser....)
CP 1 ;right
CALL Z,RIGHT
CP 2 ;left
CALL Z,LEFT
CP 4 ;down
CALL Z,UP
CP 8 ;up
CALL Z,DOWN
CP 16 ;fire
CALL Z,FIRE
.... here is CPU if is detected more active directions (for example on some models of SEGA GENESIS gamepads), you can ignore this states.
