Floppy emulator (SD card)

[Jeff_HxC2001]

Yeah new exe is non optimised and probably with some debugging info.

One thing I have noticed is I really need to add some error checking, typoing the image here crashes badly

Yes i have made some changes in my side.

Code: Select all

void* OpenQLDevice(char *name, int mode)
{
	int sectors, err;

	hxcfe = hxcfe_init();
	hxcfe_setOutputFunc(hxcfe, &CUI_affiche);

	loaderid = hxcfe_autoSelectLoader(hxcfe, name, 0);

	if(loaderid < 0)
	{
		hxcfe_deinit(hxcfe);

		return -1;
	}

	rw_access = hxcfe_getLoaderAccess(hxcfe, loaderid);

	floppy = hxcfe_floppyLoad(hxcfe, name, loaderid, &err);

	hxcfe_getFloppySize(hxcfe, floppy, &sectors);

//1600 -> 10Sectors per track : Ql trump board seems to put an unused sector at the head of the track... 
	if ((sectors != 1440) && (sectors != 2880)  && (sectors != 1600)) {
		hxcfe_floppyUnload(hxcfe, floppy);
		hxcfe_deinit(hxcfe);

		return -1;
	}

	ifmode = hxcfe_floppyGetInterfaceMode(hxcfe, floppy);

	filename = name;
	sector_written = 0;

	return 0;
}

Thanks Jeff, I did not know about the extra sector, I incorporated your error checking as well.

Ian, will send you a PM asking for an email of your .HFE to test here as its slightly different than
my ones.

Same problem, could not open image.
Tried a different HFE same problem.
Tried this new HFE with original qltools and it does read the file ok.

Email sent with zip.

Ian.

This is really odd, I can read and write to all the .HFE files you sent to me!

I'm using Win7(64) but I also tried on an old WinXP laptop and same results, can't read the image. Only the org version of qltools works (in that respect).

Your DLL hasn't changed has it?

Ian.

[XorA]

Its possible I zipped up a stale copy of qltools, is is one I just tested. This works for me in wine (linux windows emulator) and on Win8.1

[IanJ]

Success.....and can confirm all is okay on the QL also.

Yay, I am not completely dumb then

The source probably now only compiles with gcc and mingw32 but I can live with that!

If the update to the Windows app is a long way off then I may create a wrapper for this DOS version. Should be doable.

Hi,

Quick question......is there a wildcard for qltools.....I can't see one.

qltools images\QLA.HFE -w files\C_BAS

Would like to write a batch/folder full of files to an image instead of singles per above.

Ian.
