Hi Jeff, does the current Gotek firmware support 32gb usb sticks?

As long as the stick is formatted in FAT32 this should work. Why ? any issue ?

I definitively need more free flash memory space for the next features i want to implement.

Cheers. Yeah one of my mates is having issues with a 32GB sick and I just wanted to confirm I wasn't steering him up the wrong path.

I'll sort it for him at the next Melbourne Amiga meet.

Here is the official and recommended release :

https://github.com/jfdelnero/HXCFE_f...selector_V1_89

https://github.com/jfdelnero/HXCFE_f...or_Manager.zip

HxC Floppy Emulator file selector Version 1.89

Amiga -> Better multitasking/Workbench compatibility/support :

-> Don't "overtake"/hand-initialize the screen anymore : Let the system initialize the bitplane and just use it.
-> Don't reboot anymore the system but just exit the file selector if we are not track-loaded.
-> Don't lockup the system anymore in case of error if we are not track-loaded.

With these modifications the file selector is now more "Workbench-friendly".

Amiga Workbench tips and tricks :
Press Left-Amiga+N keys to switch to the Workbench.
Press Left-Amiga+M keys to switch back to the HxC File selector.
You can drag/scroll the HxC File selector screen with the upper bar.

New online service !

You can now customize the firmware on this page :

https://hxc2001.com/custom_fw/

Choose the options on the form, submit it and receive a new firmware specially built with your options some minutes later !

You can disable the features you don't need and make the firmware natively more suitable to your usage...

This is currently a beta version/"proof of concept" state. Many useful options still missing. They will be added in the next days/weeks so stay tuned !
