Yes, you must copy it into SYS folder. This alpha version only needs those files.

Is it enough too just copy one file nmi.sys (I see that content of NMI folder is basically the same as 0.0.18 version)? I have already NMI 0.0.18 and esxdos 0.8.9 installed.

You need /SYS/nmi.sys and /SYS/NMI/trdn.bas

Thank you. I will try to test it tomorrow or max Friday and let you know.

Re: New NMI handler / .commands

I have tested and it seems all ok. Few comments:

- the hidden folders and files are not visible any more (OK)
- there were previously (once inside the folder) both ". <dir>" and ".. <dir>" and now we have only .. <dir>, which is going up. I like it better than two options, but based on your manual there should be both (OK/NOT OK)
- if the folder contains more than one screen of results (paging) then we get as counter [12/-] and previously was e.g. [12/55] (NOT OK)
- of course version e.g. 0.0.18 is missing in this release

btw. how to sort files by name?

This is a alpha version, main change is that I use the unused pages existing on modern devices. I decide not show . dir entry because it is not relevant. Count total dir entries consumes a lot of time during startup, for this reason I decided to calculate it dinamically. In the moment that end of dir is reached, total dir entries cout is updated. Load pages during startup already cause a important delay. Subsequents  calls are sygnifically more fast due all is loaded. Sort dir is not possible due low memory space.

Regards,

Indeed, the behaviour is like you described (dynamic count) and the .dir. I like the removal of .dir as it was confusing smile thanks a lot!

I will be using alpha version till the time of the next full one smile

Re: New NMI handler / .commands

You need dot commands rm, hexview, ownrom, mon and snapload in /BIN folder.

Hello david_ps,

on all my tries with these downloads, on trying to start Help by pressing "h",

I think I found the cause:

Luzie, there are missing in both archives. Added!

Hello David,
Am I right in assuming that this version, for now, is the best bug-free version 0.0.18 for DivIDE and DivMMC ??
Or has something changed there.
Many greetings

Dear Spezzi63,

you don´t ask me, but I´ve tried and can confirm that the one you quotet = https://www.dropbox.com/s/a3geuwl3a6wdu … 9.zip?dl=0 is the one running in divIDE and divMMC as the newer alpha 2 rises this error "ERROR: Device with 32K or more RAM required" on divIDE:

The alpha 1 is working ok, but requires device with more than 32kb (as stated by David). I still need to test alpha 2 (hopefully in the next days) delete function as in alpha 1 it was not working.

The last stable and "official" version is 0.0.18. Apha versions are unstable and incomplete yet. Main change is that I want to use the additional pages availables on modern devices to add more functionalities.

Hi David,
I have just tested it and the comments are:

a) There is a new help page. Its cool all is on 1 page; I see only 1 page; not sure if all functions are described or I am missing something.
b) Delete function still has some problems. If you remove/connect power to ZX Spectrum and directly go to files and try to delete one it works OK. However, if you first play a game and then to try to delete it, it does not delete; the file stays.

Please let me know if more tests are needed.

Cheers, Michal

Looking good. Will it be for divIDE and divMMC? Or divMMC-Only?

Re: New NMI handler / .commands

It's for both devices, but the memory requirements increase; at the moment it requires a minimum of 7 pages, 56KiB of paged RAM, but I estimate that when it's finished it will require 8 pages (64KiB).
