flashjazzcat Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I don't think Candle's had time to incorporate the XEX loader into the U1MB BIOS as yet, unless I'm very much mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marialisar Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 do you mean the ATR loader? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Same thing. The XEX loader on your SIDE cart is the same program you're looking for in the U1MB BIOS. Problem is, when the SIDE button is in loader mode and the PBI is switched on, the loader on the cartridge is disabled (deliberately). You can run a disk version of the loader, though, in the meantime. Candle has posted it here and I guarantee he'll be keen to hear any feedback.

AtariGeezer Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) yep, not thought for XEGS... do i flash Ultimate_1MB_PBI_BIOS_0.3.3 on the 32k reserved slot ? If you are using The ROM Generator, Load a Ultimate1MBv2.rom, then load the PBI Update in the PBI Slot. Save the new 512k ROM and Create a ATR and flash. ..http://spiflash.org/atari/ultimate1mb-v2.rom Edited March 7, 2013 by AtariGeezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 yes, they fit. just remove this "clips" at ribbon You know, I hate to say it but you can shave the IDC connectors and put them in a tuxedo, but the low profile harting connectors were vastly superior, regardless of whether the cables are a standardised length or not.

Marius Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 @marialisar If you have any problems, it's always a good start to give as much information as possible. Perhaps you could share the ATR's that give problems in your setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you could share the ATR's that give problems in your setup? way too many ATR's failing to point each one, around only 50/55% of gamebase really working some even taking to the machine test screen overall very disappointed with side 2, build quality is great, the cart looks amazing but seeing the videos on lotharek's site makes you think you will get a nice/ full featured product, only to receive half baked/beta buggy software on it... hope it improves with time... for now to me it's time to flash ultimate with mybios v2 again Edited March 8, 2013 by marialisar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 overall very disappointed with side 2, build quality is great, the cart looks amazing Hmm I know the feeling where you are disappointed when something you bought does not do what you expected. There must be going something wrong somewhere. Give it some time. One thing I don't understand. When I read your first post, I read that a lot of things work fine. You also tell us that build quality is great, and that the cart looks amazing. How in the world is it then possible that you are overall VERY disappointed. Key features do work great right? The thing you want to do is a feature that is still in BETA development phase, and original SIDE doesn't even have this feature. MyIDE took over 10 years to work decent... and still MyBIOS is suffering from bugs. That's not a problem, on that side of the world is also still development. I think support of Candle, Lotharek, FJC, and others (like stryker in SIC thread) is great, and helpful. I am sure they will help you, so please provide more information. I think they are REALLY interested in specific exemples of games that do not work on your setup. It can only get better when you give that info.
