Floppy emulator (SD card)

Ian Can you do :-

Code: Select all

qltools QLA.HFE -d -w DUNGEON.BAS -d

Which should give you a directory listing before and afterwards.

It crashes qltools. I notice some other commands do that also.

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Ian\Desktop\qfe>qltools images\QLA.HFE -d -w files\C_BAS -d
Checking images\QLA.HFE
File loader found : HXC_HFE (SD Card HxCFE HFE file Loader)

Thats the issue, I don't have a windows machine setup for development, will have to see if I can get mingw to compile it successfully.

Now hacked it up to compile in mingw32, and I see the same issue in the non HFE version. Some offset probably broken somewhere. Will need some time to track down the issue.

Hi Ian,

Can you try the qltools.exe in the attached zipfile, it will not save correctly but should fix your other crashes.

The command I previously listed should work but won't save the result correctly.

Replace the qltools.exe you already have but keep libhxfe.dll

Error opening the image. I switched back to the original just to check and definitely this new one has an issue.

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Ian\Desktop\qfe>qltools QLA.HFE -d -w C_BAS -d
could not open image: No error
error : image file not opened

Are you sure you did not typo?

PS. the new exe is 138k, the original is 68k size if it's any interest.

I renamed the exe's this time so could run one after another:-

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
