Hello Ciaran, using the GTK allows the user to change of machine, but it seems mandatory to have all of the rom files in the same directory where xroar is installed. In the manual you wrote: The XROAR_ROM_PATH environment variable can also be used to specify the search path, but this behaviour is de...

Hello zephyr, I have tried to put a comment to each line according to my rs232 dragon knowledge: I have never used the serial port with interrupts, this part contains from $BF32 on (just for cases where not an IRQ) a series of code to clear the keyboard rollover table too and finally jumps to $9D3D ...

Hello Ciaran, I forgot at that time to test the GTK+ menus. Now I have had the chance to give it a try and it is really very interesting for me, it gives a lot more control (disks and tapes) not to mention the ease to change machine configuration without having to close and launch another bat file!!...

wow!
I have gone obsolete in just a few weeks!
This is a very good advice, I will have to modify one more time my 'bat' files in order to have them without 'deprecated' parameters.
I changed dragondos for rsdos or delta where necessary, of course.
Thanks one more time, zephyr

you are right zephyr, this way works perfect.
As Ciaran has said that -dos and -dostype are deprecated, I will modify all of my bats (to test different machines and DOS systems) with the method you are using.
thanks a lot

Helo Ciaran, I have modified my bat file to use the -cart-rom parameter, this way: xroar -vo sdl -machine dragon64 -extbas d64rom1V31.rom -altbas d64rom2V31.rom -cart-rom ddos11c.rom -kbd-translate and it doesn't start de disk system Then I have renamed the DOS file to ddos40.rom, with this bat: cop...

well, this is what I should understand reading this carefully, but it seems that the first time I used XRoar didn't read too much the manual and made some tries until that one (-dostype) worked for me. As I always rename the dos cartridge to DDOS40.rom it turns up that this name is accepted for the ...

sorry, I have to make a correction to my previous note:
Using this bat file:
xroar -vo sdl -machine dragon64 -extbas d64rom1V31.rom -altbas d64rom2V31.rom -dos ddos11c.rom -kbd-translate

works without problems, the disk system starts up, no need to rename the DOS file

hello zephyr,
no, I did use the -dostype option (as in my bats), sorry.
Now I have tried last Ciaran's mod and using -dostype works without problems, but using -dos doesn't work for me.
By now, I only get it working when I first rename the DOS file to DDOS40.rom (despite being DDOS11C.rom)
pere

have tested both w32 and w64 and do work with the DDOS11C.rom file name
thanks Ciaran
