Re: Acorn Archimedes Core

:D I am doing some progress here!

I have replaced the command

configure idefsdircache 32k with

configure systemsize 32k

and bingo!! It booted this time! But I am stuck with a new error message when OS 4.2 starts which is 'Please insert disc CROS4'.

I am getting there though :mrgreen:

Re: Acorn Archimedes Core

Hi Alkadian, Yes after resetting the core the HDF is still mounted and I have saved the settings just to make sure as you suggested. No I haven't got any error messages after entering manually the commands. Thanks!

Re: Confusion over bootcore / Lastcore etc

Thank you for the guidance. I have changed my Mister.ini file to the following and it works 100% as expected. Spaces in the name are no problem and I did not have to change the location of the mra file for it to work.: ; lastcore - Autoboot the last loaded core (corename autosaved in CONFIG/lastcore.dat) first found on the SD/USB ; lastexactcore -...

Re: Acorn Archimedes Core

Hi Alkadian, After having done the reset, have you checked that your HDF was still mounted ? Between the HDF mount and the Reset Ctrl+Alt+AltGr action, try to save the configuration (so, before the reset) to be sure. Unless you're sure that your HDF was still mounted. When you entered the manually the configure commands, did you get any error ? Hi...

Re: Confusion over bootcore / Lastcore etc

Please refer to the notes below which I put together some time ago: 1. Open the mister.ini file in the main SD folder. 2. Look for the line ;bootcore=lastcore. 3. Uncomment it and replace ‘lastcore’ with the .mra file corresponding to the rom you want to start with. For istance if you want to start Galaga, just use bootcore=Galaga.mra. 4. You can s...

Ok, thanks! Meantime I have downloaded from GitHub the latest .rbf files for this core. I have just noticed that the names of these new revisions start with the word 'Arcade-' at the beginning. So for instance 'Arcade-Asteroids_20201217.rbf' instead of 'Arcade-Asteroids_20201217.rbf'.

Just to confirm, did you place the .vhd in the folder/media/fat/games/AcornAtom?

Which software are you using in windows?
