nope, unfortunately there's no manual and the first post is probably the best source of info at this moment but feel free to ask if there's anything unclear, i might write a faq one day if there's enough questions

new fw beta is available no new features (iirc), just some general speedups some remarks - if you're upgrading from fw older than 0018, progress bar will overflow the screen, in that case give it 30s more and you should be fine - this beta has a fallback mechanism, if you hold left cart button on powerup, it will "boot" into 0018 (useful in case you're having issues with sd card compatibility in the new fw) please report any bugs and sd card compatibility regressions, thanks d019

https://atariage.com/forums/topic/278212-avgcart/?do=findComment&comment=4474581 that is my understanding of compatibility, i can't vouch for it since i have only 800xe/xl and nobody confirmed/challenged that yet but due to the form factor, it's more suited for xl/xe(gs) machines (minus 1200xl) current price is 50 EUR for the cart + 6 EUR shipping

there was some commercial 3d printed case designed to house avgcart and fit 1200xl but apart from seeing a photo, i can't say much about it (and yes,the pcb is pretty wide) i believe @Mr Robot was looking into designing one but probably figured it's a too tight fit and for 800 and height, my guess would be no (even when using a halfsize micro sd adapter) but since i don't own 800 (and it's pretty impossible to get one at a decent price), i can't be sure

it is usually available

can you explain what scenario you have in mind? 8kb right slot cart (21) should be supported, plus you can concat left + right cart into one 16kb .car file

i just want to make sure that i'm not passing misinformations, is the following true? are there any other issues not covered? 65XE, 800XL/XE, 130XE, 600XE, XEGS - no issues 800 - cart too tall, lid can't be closed, lid switch has to be triggered by some other means 400, 1200XL - cart too wide, needs to be removed from the shell ATR emulation needs at least 64kB RAM

as philsan wrote, esc does the first atr emulation is just a bonus feature that has a limited compatibility and therefore shouldn't be really taken into account when comparing features and no, you can't currently use atr and cart emulation at the same time

nope, it wouldn't fit, completely different form factor

is it from china? it looks like a remarked chip in which case it could be anything inside (including real r6532p)

thanks, i'll try that

i'm playing with the custom device functionality and i noticed that i'm getting doubled requests to device server on reads if the instruction is being stepped which is problematic in my scenario i'm assuming it's because altirra is "prefetching" the value at the moment i get to the instruction to display stuff like this (108805: 68, 26) A=FF X=00 Y=01 S=F9 P=33 ( ZC) 0778: AD 20 D5 LDA $D520 [$D520] = $00 the second request is when the instruction is actually executed is it possible to somehow disable this? (closing console isn't enough) thanks

that's pretty horrible, i was aware of .ds_store and similar crap but i didn't know it's doing this for every file on fat32 ok, i'll probably add skipping hidden files in the future update apple...

actually that sounds like a bug (unless they're directories), can you make me a photo of the screen showing them?
