One thing that isn't accurately emulated, which I think should be added for nostalgia sake, is that upon power up, it should pick the last tape you mounted and wipe a portion of it.

Thanks Alanswx & Spacexguy

I have been messing around with this core and like what I have experienced so far. This is one of the computers that I've wanted, for some time, to try out.
Thank you to the developers for bringing it to Mister.

You may find this video helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3BhS9uA_5E
I did at least

Also an Enterprise software demonstration video:

Thanks @Flandango, always nice to see and try out a new core, or should that be old computer?

Hi guys, I'm trying out the new Help menu to open md files but I get an error that says: /media/fat/linux/glow: No such file or directory. Do you know if there is a way to install glow to have this working? I've ran update and update_all scripts already but I have the same results, also I've some filters enabled for update_all but I'm not sure it ...

Oh I see!

Thanks @meauxdal

A couple of additional observations:
I noted vhd sizes and mine didn't change after being corrupted.
Not only MacPack was affected. I tried a 7.01 OS vhd and it suffered the same fate

A thorough investigation. Thanks for that.
Came across the SCSI Accel error after my last post.
I've tried dismounting the vhd before switching from or turning off while in SE mode and that seems to prevent any corruption.
Never been an Apple product user either

jca wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 3:28 pm Did you shut down the Mac before switching to SE? That could be the reason of the corruption. I will try it later today.

Yes but I think your giving it a try later would be helpful. I may be doing something wrong.

After a bit of messing around I've found that on this updated core, in Plus mode, "MacPack for FPGA" boot.vhd, boots into a "..disk is unreadable by this Macintosh.." error message. By cancelling the boot continues. In SE mode the MacPack loads with the same "..disk is unreadable by this Macintosh.." error, which again...

Oh!

Rampa069, JimmyStones, JasonA and Alanswx thanking you muchly for this Core making it into main with TAP support. Looking forward to seeing further development

Great to have this Core in Main. Thanks
Will tape file support (TAP, UEF...) be added at some point?

Got the same results as everyone else loading Paperboy from UEF so I tried Audio which runs to the end but doesn't start up, just crashes

Let me know how tape works on the acorn electron. I noticed paperboy doesn’t work. But it doesn’t work on mame either. Bad dump? I noticed one other didn’t work in either spot. Thanks for Core and updates. I owned an Electron for a short while in the '80s ADC seems to work okay (full volume for me). However I've not been able to load a UEF file. A...

Thanks @Pierco, been waiting a long time for an Einstein emulator as I could never figure out how to work the MAME offering.
Not sure if this will be helpful but the 256 Games Pack demo program doesn't seem to display correctly.

Edit: Think it's related to @Kathleen's observation

Been wanting an Einstein for some Years and now it has arrived. Had one for a while in the 80's before passing it on to my brother-in-law.
Thank you Pierre and all who contributed

The beauty of the Mister is that we can finally ditch that god-awful rubber keyboard, and use a modern keyboard.... I also have a few 48k spectrums here, and I try to use the keyboard less, and less. I now use a Comcon Joystick interface that allows keyboard-only games to be mapped to this device - just to avoid that keyboard. :lol: Tiny minds, so...

According to https://www.osiweb.org/software.html, "the C2/4 sections are identical to the SYNMON1 code".

I've never been able to get Synmon to work with the C1P, although I know it's possible.

Results not much different in WinOSI

Ahh right!

Hi
Think I've mentioned this before but not sure if I found an example. The SYN600 was a ROM used for the C1,C2,C4,C8 Any use? Will it work do you think?

Oh!

Nothing wrong with it. I systematically neglected to select "Load programs from: UART" despite constantly messing around with the settings

danielb wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 9:37 pm Hi,

I made a version which defaults to high res, and this seems to work better. OSI Invaders and Pacdude both start off in high res and switch to low, and Defender switches to low before it starts. The emulator also defaults to high res, so that is what the release version will do.

D.

And UART is back!
Thanks
