Is there any way to save to (virtual) tape on the Dragon/CoCo core? And are there any plans for (virtual) disk support (DragonDOS)? I would like to put my real Dragons away, and use the MiSTer as my main Dragon (that’s how well it works, and it’s so easy to bring with me), but that means I must have a way to save to either disk or tape. Anyone who ...

Thanks breiztiger. I think you put the wrong danish/norwegian 464 and 464+DDI1 files in the zip. They are the UK ROMs that doesn't show the danish/norwegian characters. The 6128 file shows the correct characters. I actually never knew the danish/norwegian 464 ROMs existed "out in the open" before I saw it on cpcwiki. I only knew of the 61...

Thanks again, buddy!
Unfortunately my real 472 is “dead”, so I can’t run anything on it at the moment. I must try to figure out what’s wrong with it, or maybe get some help from a friend who is more knowledgeable than me with electronics.

Great! I have now tested the configs you posted @breiztiger and wow! that was just what I wanted. Thank you, thank you, thank you! The only of the configs I didn't get to work were the 472 configs, which started but just immideately started scrolling, like if the return key was pressed. I couldn't stop it either. I have no idea what could cause thi...

Thanks again Breiztiger. I did answer your other post, but as I’m a new user here, all my posts must be approved by an admin, so that’s why I seem to have gone silent..... I can’t PM you to thank you either, for the same reason.

You’re absolutely right. My 472 with spanish keyboard has the spanish 464 ROM (40037). I had to open it and check

So it’s only the 472 with english kb that has the 664 ROM, and it’s an english 664 ROM. The spanish kb version of the 472 has a spanish 464 ROM.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Thanks, I’ll have a look at that 😀👍 The 472 I have is the later version with a Spanish keyboard, so it probably has the 464 ROM, then. I haven’t powered it up in years. I need to fix it (it’s not working anymore) and check. They used the 664 ROM as an excuse for the extra 8k of «fake» RAM not showing up, stating it was needed for the 664 Basic ROM ...

Hi. I made a request on github to include more system configurations to the otherwise excellent Amstrad CPC core, and I was told this could be done by utilising the «load expansion» function. What I want to achieve is to be able to set the core to run as any of the original CPC variants: CPC464 (464 Basic ROM) CPC464 + DDI-1 (464 Basic ROM + AMSDOS...
