    Thanks

     

    Here's the disk image again with the 4.46 FATFS.SYS replacing the newer driver:

    attachicon.gifopussumita.zip

    Thank you flashjazzcat... (In the Ultimate menu i enabled SpartaDOS and SIDE harware On, with button, SIDE2 switch up) Now typing F: and uflash.xex I can open the flasher...I select firmware and well the firmware.rom is in the file list (DRIVE D6:)... I'm scared about this procedure......... Will you help me also if the machine bricks? Otherwise I'll be desperate :P :_(

    I didn't configure the hd myself, I'm using a pre-prepared image with games and all made by the guy who sold me the SIDE2 both on real 800xl and Altirra...I'm very, very ignorant :) Anyway, I never had any problems moving stuff from the pc to the atari, just copy new material from the pc to the CF, insert the CF in SIDE2 and run... Hope that's what you mean...Have you got a pre-prepared image which will allow me to launch UFLASH from the SDX prompt? :) I haven't understood why UFLASH can't see the firmware roms on real machine... It works on emulator with the last bios... I must update the firmware!

    Bios menu and loader look like this:

    ...

     

    Unfortunately i don't have any SIO2xxx devices... :-\

    I guess i should send the Atari to a technician for update... Anything else i can try on real machine?

     

    On Altirra I'm using ultfull.rom ... when i try to run .atr games it gets stuck on "READY" screen... I'm using a CF card as physical drive...

    Thanks.

    I placed uflash.xex and the firmware rom in the cf card root as well and I can't see the rom in the file list...Also tried to create a directory apart for uflash and rom with no success... :-\ It works in emulator... That's weird. My Atari 800XL was repaired months ago...ls08 faulty chip has been replaced with F08... Maybe it has something to do with this?

     

    Concerning Altirra The .atr files are listed in the loader but when i try to run them it just brings me to the READY screen...

    Thanks for the replies, I'm going to try it later... By the way, How to run .ATR files with the new firmware? I guess some settings have to be changed in PBI Bios menu... With Altirra i was able just to run .xex games...

     

    Update: Where should i place the FIRMWARE.ROM? If i place it simply in the root of CF card I can't "see" it in the file list of uflash.xex...

    Hi all, I'm a noob on these things, sorry if some questions may sound stupid.

     

    As far as I've understood it's possible to update Ultimate 1MB firmware on real machine using SIDE LOADER. Well, I've just a SIDE2 with CF and I've found a step by step guide online:

     

    http://atari8.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Ultimate-1MB-and-Incognito-BIOS-and-XEX-Loader.pdf

     

    Do I have just to flash 'ubios120.rom' and 'upbi180.rom' with uflash.xex? What about 'uload120.rom'?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    To emulate these devices in Altirra, you need to have firmware images for the U1MB and SIDE2 devices. The most recent versions of the firmware are available from the SDX project page (for the SIDE2 cart) and from FJC's "Alternate U1MB BIOS" thread from the U1MB. Download them and put them in an easy-to-find folder. Then in Altirra, go to the Firmware settings and add the firmware files you just downloaded. Once you've done that, go to the Devices menu and add a SIDE2 cart. Once you've added the SIDE2, select it, click Add and add in the hard drive. You will have to create an image file, then format it, copy over your data, etc.

     

    Ok I added the firmware images for both U1MB and SIDE2 in Altirra, then what i'm supposed to do? I have a prepared CF card to use as hard disk for SIDE 2... Thanks in advance.
