Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I updated to PicoMiteHDMI MMBasic USB RP2350A Edition V6.03.00RC23
But I am having problems transferring files using FM and selecting and copying with F5.
I also performed a flash nuck, which didn't help.
I don't even have video anymore, so I performed an option reset on the Olimex USB.
Now I have picture again and FM seems to be working, but restoring the backup from b: to a: causes the entire system to be reset.
FM is no longer working.

So I'm just going back to V6.03.00RC21
Now FM is working fine again
What I also noticed is that option disk load "V5.03.00RC21.opt" isn't working properly anymore?
So, with some copies of the option list still in Notepad++ and transferring line by line via Tera Term, I have it back in order. Now I just have to wait and see if I'm the only one with these problems?

Option disk load can't always work between versions, sometimes it can but you should assume NOT and set the options by hand with any new version

Peter,

I had previously saved "V6.03.00RC21.opt" using option disk save, and after the problems, I reloaded V6.03.00RC21 using option disk load "V6.03.00RC21.opt", after which the pico started up but there was no video, so I blind option reset olimex usb (enter) y (enter)
Reset and the picture returned. After that, I manually copied the list line by line from notepad++ and pasted it into Tera Term.

Aha, I guessed so, since I could add Nobukun's shooter game (16k) to the image, and still have space for the high-score folder, and files with scores.

Thanks, the Game*Mite has more value now , simply because there are more games in it. More fun to play.

When the official release is same, I can release the 2040 uf2 image. Tom will be happy...

And I will also add a zip that can be installed on the sd card, that contains the games that are too large to fit

Petscii, Gems and Rocks, Maxitrek, etc...

Volhout

P.s. with these changes the Game*Mite Petscii runs faster than the VGA version.
