Re: vDrive QL, Dilwyn's vDrive Images, and Running Games

I have to type lrun mdv3_boot w/o SD cart in vDrive to get Toolkit running.. if that is what you mean by initialize. Then I have access to those features. No, I mean to enable the vDrive you have to LBYTES a _bin file that comes with them. Do you also do that on every fresh boot? That I have no ide...

Re: vDrive QL, Dilwyn's vDrive Images, and Running Games

Yes, you need some kind of WIN1_ storage or a data medium in MDV1_/FLP1_. Any of those places can contain a file called 'boot' that contains those instructions. Have you got an FLP1_? If not (and assuming lack of WIN1_), you may have to boot from a known good cartridge in MDV1_. How do you currentl...

Re: vDrive QL, Dilwyn's vDrive Images, and Running Games

Would there be a more automated way to do this at boot... where I can get a RAMdisk created with launch just one program and it does this below script? TJ Guessing there is no other trick? TJ This works for me with a vDrive, but I also have a Trump card with a RAM disk via the TDI Tetroid device and...

Re: vDrive QL, Dilwyn's vDrive Images, and Running Games

Thanks... don't think I can do that but will remember if I get that trump card. TJ Guessing there is no other trick? TJ This works for me with a vDrive, but I also have a Trump card with a RAM disk via the TDI Tetroid device and the RAM_USE thing, is I believe only available via the Trump card, so m...

QL vDrive, Connecting, Setting Up, Testing - Video #2

2nd video in my vDrive series. Last video was an unboxing and seeing what the vDrive looks like.

Now.. connect, setup, and test...

It is a long one... but a step-by-step for a newbie to connect and start using their vDrive.

I hope some find it useful.

Re: vDrive QL, Dilwyn's vDrive Images, and Running Games

Ha... so with at least Assault, I changed the code to mdv3_ and she runs...

Almost seems I need to get this vMap device. Unless I want to change every program.

Shoot.

Guessing there is no other trick?
