Re: Partition Manager 1.02

E, Risc PC=4GB
I don't think this is accurate. RISC OS 3.6 and 3.7 can support up to 128GB.

Did you try just typing in the mods to the !Run file shown in that video?

Re: Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 (1992) (Krisalis Software)

Synchronised play for up to four drivers with computer link Does it? Having tried it, I'm not so sure - no "Link" option appears. And there's no mention of it anywhere in manuals or reviews - only references to the Link are for the Amiga and ST versions of the game. Since you've listed it...

Re: Partition Manager feedback

If PM is reporting disc errors, then there's an issue. Having written and checked hundreds of megabytes across four DOMs and two machines, after formatting successfully with HForm, I'm fairly satisfied it's actually reliable in practice with normal ADFS use. It's only initialising with PM that seem...

Re: Partition Manager feedback

Having all manner of weird issues with PM with a 1GB DOM in a RiscPC, using ADFS. Yes, I know ADFS is cack, but I'm trying to find a cheap solution for 'something' to offer as a RiscPC storage solution without using a podule. Anyway, PM barks all manner of disc errors during format. Format with HFor...

May also be useful to actually disable E+ as an option if it's not running on at least RISC OS 3.8 ? Or at least a warning that it won't be readable on the OS you're running on.

Re: Partition Manager feedback

I've updated the v1.02 build above as it was creating Pi Boot files in the wrong folders. With 1.02, trying to format as E throws a "restricted to 512MB" warning. Surely this should only be for RISC OS 3.1 ? Previous PMs didn't have this limitation. (Using ADFS/RO 3.70 just now...)

Re: USBJoystick 0.22 - prototype

Would they not potentially reorder depending on the Joystick make/model? How can I be certain I'm reading the left or right thumb-stick? NAFAIK. You may find my "Dual joypad driver and test software" useful : http://ian.jeffray.co.uk/riscos/joypad/ - ignore the driver part, but the simple...

Re: Partition Manager feedback

Alas now I just get an immediate "Failed to write partition table", then the whole desktop starts to redraw, no iconbar, then the machine's locked up I'll need a debug log for that. Sure. Thinking about it -- I do often get "funnies" when partitioning media for the first time wi...

Re: Partition Manager feedback

PM 1.01 is juuuust too big to fit on an 'E' format floppy now :( I've added instructions on how to "Lite" it. S'fair, but 800K is the "need for lite", not "RISC OS 3.1x". (ie only for basic A300/A400/A500/A3000, whereas A3010/A3020/A4000/A5000/A4 can all cope with HD f...
