SQ-80 AND GOTEK PROBLEMS
Hello all
I have got a gotek emulator with the oled display. My SQ80 will see the gotek but only after pressing the disk button on the SQ80 several times, usually there is a 'no disk' message. After another 10 button pushes it may get to loading a bank or it may fail.
jumper is set to S0
it's using .hfe files
I bough it from a seller, apparently pre-configured.
I also cannot format a blank slot. It tries but fails at sector 79
saving into an existing black slot also fails, with no disk
is there anything I can check
best regards
Alan

Ok then if you come here i suppose that you thought bought a Gotek HxC ? Unfortunately this is a counterfeit. Please report this seller if on ebay/amazon.
Fortunately this drive can be reflashed with a true HxC firmware with an usb stick. But you will have to get a license on this page :
https://hxc2001.com/store/
Then i will be able to provide support.

Re: SQ-80 AND GOTEK PROBLEMS
after registering I got a download link with instructions on how to flash the device.
I have a FTDI232 adapter, not sure if this is ok
connected it up but just get 'link is UP' message
checking connections.... and will try the reset trick

Re: SQ-80 AND GOTEK PROBLEMS
ah I have updated the device with the serial adapter 100/100 in status.
now Done (o units left)
however the oled display is now completely dead with nothing at all, UPDATE, this is due to really bad soldering to the display, now resoldered

Re: SQ-80 AND GOTEK PROBLEMS
I now get your website and v3.374
also it seems to read all the sound file disk images, and they load 1st time!
the only thing is the file numbers are missing, but maybe I can change this in the config
this is great
thank you

(About the file numbers i suppose that you are directly browsing the files on the stick ? In this mode there is no file numbering).

Re: SQ-80 AND GOTEK PROBLEMS
hi yes directly browsing. I may just renumber the files so I no how far away from [..} I am
is there a way to put the oled display to sleep after a while
i'm sure these things exist, I just wasn't sure if they were accessed on the GOTEK or in the config file
thanks

Re: SQ-80 AND GOTEK PROBLEMS
The oled brightness should reduce after some seconds. This this is not the case ?mindburner wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2019 9:35 pm hi yes directly browsing. I may just renumber the files so I no how far away from [..} I am
