Hello and good evening,
first: thanks for making such a cool product happen! I have checked the CPC topics and some threads are in French, so I apologize if I am asking a question again that has already been answered in a French thread, since I unfortunately do not speak any French.
My HxC from Lotharek has arrived and I was able to connect it to my CPC and successfully inserted and used the Amstrad HxC file manager hfe image.
But when I convert a dsk image to a hfe and try to use it, the file sizes which are displayed when issuing "cat" on the Amstrad are totally wrong. When I try to run them (run "myprog"), they to not start - the Amstrad loads the file, but just says "Ready" instead of starting the program.
When I load the source dsk image (which I later convert to hfe) in an emulator, the disk sizes are correct.
This happens with all dsk images that I try to convert and run on the Amstrad.
I attached three files:
source sdk in emulator.jpg = loading the source dsk in an emulator - "cat" displays the correct file sizes / dsk runs correctly:
hfe in amstrad.jpg = I converted the source dsk to hfe and put it in the HxC. The "cat" command displays wrong file sizes / files cannot be run:
config.jpg = configuration of HxC. Same problem ocours with the default config:
Firmware is up to date - HxC Software is up to date, too. I use the Mac version.
Thank you all in advance for your valuable help.
Best regards
Ubi
