HxC Floppy emulator browser tool
HxC Floppy emulator browser tool
Hi there,
I recently bought the HxC SD Floppy emulator for my Sony HB-F700P MSX, and it works perfectly.
Selecting the images by hand on the emulator works fine, however... I would like to have a software tool, so I can select the images, or browse the SD card. I saw that this kind of tool is available for Atari and Amiga, but not for MSX.
Does anyone have this for MSX, or can someone help me with programming to make it myself ?
(I can only program in Turbo Pascal for MSX-DOS)
Many thanks !!

Re: HxC Floppy emulator browser tool
I don't think it was done (yet) for the MSX ?
You need the following :
* Some knowledge of the floppy controller (seeking to a track and reading/writing sectors)
* A FAT32 filesystem handler.
The CPC version may be more easily portable, as it is a z80 based computer. This would get the FAT32 part done, at least. But it's written in a mix of C and assembler, which may not be easy to integrate with Turbo Pascal...

I say a French topic (I pulled it through Google translate because I can't read French) of someone who was working on it about a half year ago.
Hopefully he will succeed in making it, and be so kind to post it on the forum for us to download.

This project is in my pipe... but, sorry, I don't work on it.
I'm working on a MSX game and actually in a web site for my company (on extra)

Re: HxC Floppy emulator browser tool
If you have code already, can you send it to me ?
Maybe I can work on it further ?
Many thanks

Re: HxC Floppy emulator browser tool
Is it based on my MO5 work ? Are there any changes to it ?
I'd like to get it if so, maybe there's something I can reuse

A promise is a promise (beautiful, no ? )
I'll share my search when I'll search ( again)
But now... I'm not searching beacause I'm very busy.

Re: HxC Floppy emulator browser tool
Anyone made a browser tool for MSX yet ?
Or could any tell me how to get the emulator to track 255 with MSX BASIC (if possible) ?
Thank you

Re: HxC Floppy emulator browser tool
Or help us to make it ourselves...
How do you put the emulator in the direct access mode ?
How do you move it to track 255 on the MSX ?
Is there a way to do this in Basic, or do we need to do it in Assembly ?
Is there an address to "poke" to get it to go to track 255 ?
Please help

Sorry for late reply.
I have not done anything.
I just read the documentation provided by Jeff.
I can't help.

Re: HxC Floppy emulator browser tool
Still no one who figured out how to make a software browser for MSX ?
