tmp Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 if you're on windows, you can use contig.exe to verify that avf file is not fragmented ("contig -a file" should tell you it has 1 chain) i don't own any cards that do not work (even old crappy non-brand 2gb cards work for me) but i can't rule out that incompatible ones exist, what card is it?

Mclaneinc Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 To be fair some really crap cards do fail, the one I got with the SD2C64 system was awful.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I check contig: So I suppose it's my SD card problem, it's some old 1GB card (no name), I used it with sio2sd for ages. I bought new kingston 32gb card, so I will check when it will arrived.

Poison Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 i would like to ask if is possible to add function play next avf automatically to AVFPlayer for AVG cart? idea: after 1st movie ends player automacically move to the next AVF via press arrow down and than itself hit return So I mean, that player finish avf play, ends itself, tham arrow down, return and plaaay I dont know if it is possible or not, but could be nice feature and it is not necessarry to merge AVF files to one long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroDD Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 In case anyone was curious as to current shipping times to the US for and AVGCART, @tmp sent mine on 17 Aug, and I received it on 27 Aug. 10 days isn't bad considering the state of international shipping these days. Thanks, tmp! This device is really great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'd love to know - I sent a package to Michigan (from the UK) three weeks ago and it's still not arrived but no-one at my local post office never told me postal shipments weren't being made to the US.

Mclaneinc Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 When did it stop, I sent some stuff to the US in the last few months and although slower than normal it got there....Mind you they were small items of no real value.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I sent a package to Switzerland on 7/12 and it still hasn't arrived, Stuff has gone to and from Germany since then, it's all so hit and miss right now.

Mclaneinc Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 That is rather nice, I link mine through Lothareks SIO splitter to get the mini leds on that..Great work, any firmware work? (just in case, don't expect it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this does get commited into the firmware, I'll need a schematic to figure out what needs to be wired up and find someone who can print out a clear SIO plug.

tmp Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 you need a firmware update if you want the cart to indicate position during atr/atx cycling by blinking the rest is not avgcart specific, it's just transistor(s) switching led(s) based on state of DATAIN (and optionally DATAOUT) signal(s) i used something like this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimo Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 This is probably a silly question but I am trying to be sure that my AVG2SIO cable is working correctly, am I right in thinking that atx files would not load if the cable is not working correctly? Can someone point me to any .atr images that will not load without the cable? Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
