FlashFloppy does not suffer this. Remember you can always flash back Cortex. But once you have done FlashFloppy future updates can be done off the USB stick. No opening the AMIGA and fitting jumpers (i think that is correct). |

btw since the 2008 hxc usb floppy emulator (this one support all copy protection since almost 10 years) i got finally very few ask for the "ipf" support. is there some interests finally ? |
Seeing as there are over 2,000 Amiga IPF images in the wild I would say IPF should be fully supported. After all, they are untouched images so no bad crack issues, and manuals etc are available from HOL and other sites!!

That hasn't happened yet... (that I've noticed, tho I haven't actively looked) So I also wonder how much it is really wanted. Unless there is some reason that the batch convert wouldn't work?? desiv |

Getting back on topic: I successfully installed FlashFloppy and recorded the whole thing, will post a tutorial for those shy of installing this very soon. I need to edit it and stuff. But it is very easy to do. No one should pay $60 on eBay to have this!!
Early report: Works great, I am VERY happy with this new firmware! Thanks kaffer for making it. |

@Akira - I look forward to seeing your tutorial.
@Kaffer - Great job.... Looking forward to your new releases. Hopefully once all updates are settled I will update my Gotek myself, Is there a noob video tutorial on installation? |
Looking forward to the update, and testing the 'update via USB stick'.
Regarding the 1602 LCD, I don't want to teach you to suck eggs, but it might be something helpful? - I was building a device with a 1602 LCD and mine was not the normal one, the address needed to be changed, I think the usual one is 0x27, but this particular display was 0x3f. This was all on an Arduino and I needed to change the address. I think the 'project creator' now has both addresses in the code. It might help on improving compatibility with 1602 displays? |
The HxC firmware seems to find the display regardless of address.

Other than that, everything I tested has ran perfectly. At first I thought I was running into some issues with the loader, but it turned out I was testing Jeff's new HxC loader ADF instead, and fr a while that worked, although it was a bit picky! After I realized my mistake and switched t the proper FlashFloppy loader, all went well. I mentioned on an email something about font size. Nothing to worry about with this loader, it's perfect! A minor quirk is something about how the loader scrolls through pages. When you are at the last page, you are allowed to "go one more" with the selecting bar going to the bottom, where there's usually nothing. Make two pages worth of stuff but not enough to fill a second page, press right on the joystick on that last page and you'll see the system refresh that same page (shouldn't do that), and send the "cursor" to the bottom where there's nothing. ANyway, working on the tutorial this morning, will post it later! |
