FO 08:56 PM Bug #63 (New): Svideo issues in v20 on board v1: I am getting a green basic screen sometimes. Seems to be a bad state somewhere since its resolved when I switch to NTSC and back. I suspect something related to the antic highres changes. Easy to reproduce so I can look what is wrong wit... foft

FO 09:41 PM Feature #53 (Closed): Add version number to settings: Added board version, date and core version (need to update VERSION file manually on build) foft
FO 09:40 PM Feature #58 (Closed): Maybe consider moving CART selection closer to top in F12 menu ?: foft
FO 08:46 PM Feature #58: Maybe consider moving CART selection closer to top in F12 menu ?: Was getting tempted by a bigger rework, including settings in json: https://github.com/quartzjer/js0n
More work than my interest on this today! foft

FO 09:56 PM Feature #58 (In Progress): Maybe consider moving CART selection closer to top in F12 menu ?: On second thoughts, one more feature to add here.
Updating of roms on the flash by loading/then save all. foft
FO 09:54 PM Feature #58 (Closed): Maybe consider moving CART selection closer to top in F12 menu ?: foft
FO 09:39 PM Feature #58: Maybe consider moving CART selection closer to top in F12 menu ?: Added support for filtering in the file selector. Also added hotkeys to the device menu (1-4 and C). foft

FO 10:05 PM Feature #58: Maybe consider moving CART selection closer to top in F12 menu ?: M25P (54MHz max), N25Q (108MHz max) I think. Thinking I should really move away from the M25P (or equiv) for v2 fix, its pretty bad. Large sectors and slow. foft
FO 10:03 PM Feature #58: Maybe consider moving CART selection closer to top in F12 menu ?: Well, I can increase the clock speed of the spi communication. I'm only at 25MHz and think I can go to 100MHz. But not sure how much time is spent in spi overhead and how much time waiting. foft
FO 09:54 PM Feature #58: Maybe consider moving CART selection closer to top in F12 menu ?: Doh. Writing in 256 byte chunks increasing destination address each data, but not increasing data pointer! Oops! So working now, but takes 7 seconds to save (v1, v2 not tested). Not much I can do about that on v2 (256KB sector size) but ... foft
FO 09:12 PM Feature #58: Maybe consider moving CART selection closer to top in F12 menu ?: Loading of profiles is working (no hotkeys yet).
Saving is failing... I have to read 256KB of flash to sdram then rewrite with a diff, guess that is failing somewhere. foft

FO 10:17 PM Feature #58 (In Progress): Maybe consider moving CART selection closer to top in F12 menu ?: Following the flash support, decided to split the menu into two parts:
i) Device emulation (disk + cart + usb stuff)
ii) Settings (video settings + rom + ram size etc)
+ removing the quick select menu.
The device menu is thus much ... foft
FO 04:44 PM Feature #37 (Closed): SD card insertion support: foft

FO 05:19 PM Feature #62 (Closed): Store settings in spi flash: foft
FO 05:19 PM Feature #62: Store settings in spi flash: Tested as v1, working fine. Though I noticed that the i2c code hangs v1 (devices do not exist, I thought it'd be harmless...). Modified the platform register. foft
FO 12:32 PM Feature #62: Store settings in spi flash: Wondering about whether to put a file system on the flash chip. Such as spiffs, which is aimed at flash chips and low memory.

Probably overkill.
