I've updated V6.00.02RC22 on

https://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Beta.zip

NB: if you have a file with a line starting '# at the top please just delete it. Hopefully it shouldn't then re-appear

The '# line keeps coming back even if I delete it then save the file again.

Please explain the exact sequence you are using to cause this. Are you editing using the in-built editor?

Here's the sequence:

1. Type NEW then press F4 to edit a new program
2. Write a program. I always use line numbers even though I don't use GOTO.
3. Press F1 to save or F2 to run the program.
4. SAVE "myprog" (any name will do)
5. Type NEW (optional)
6. LOAD "myprog"
7. Press F4 to edit the program

The header appears.

8. Delete the header
9. Press F1 to save or F2 to run the program.
10. SAVE "myprog"
11. Type NEW (optional again)
12. LOAD "myprog"

The header is back.

It is not fixed. Sorry.

I've just run for 3 hours without issue so I'm happy it is now OK and then anything else is probably electrical. I don't intend to look at if further.

That is indeed sorry to hear.
I have a scope connected to the I2C bus, and every transaction is a valid transaction until the moment the pico dies. They alternate

I2C write (transaction 2 bytes)
10ms pause
I2c read (transaction 7 bytes)
20ms pause

Both my systems (VGA design 2 with WII connected to GP14/GP15, and PicoGameMite with WII connected to GP26/GP27) show exactly same behaviour. After some 10 minutes the screen corrupts as in earlier sent photo.

This is the whole program


According your photo you have a RCT connected. Is the RTC configured AUTO ON ?
Maybe a collision of WII and RCT commands ?

Here's my OPTION LIST:

You didn't day it only happens with continuation lines enabled.........
Anyway, found and fixed

WII CLASSIC OPEN

Hi Harm,
I have a GameMite and a WII Classic controller, so I'm giving it a go, I have installed RC22, then done only a
Option reset gamemite   followed by a
Option System I2C GP26,GP27
Then I'm running your program above, using a Minicom terminal, I have slightly modified the program to print an incrementing number, so I can easily see if it stops.
I'm not sure how I wired my controller, so will it come up with an error if it doesn't see a WII? (ok it does, if I disconnect it) so I hopefully have the GP numbers correct.
So far up to 4500.
Regards, Kevin
