FE3 Software Collection

[ops]

New release is out. It now includes FileBrowser to make it easier to browse files on SD card.

There is directory pi1541 which contains a few demos that are not compatible with sd2iec but work with Pi1541 emulator.

Thanks

It would be also nice if cartridge games were shared to different folders because full cart folder loads list quite slow.

Like A-F, G-L etc.

Impossiblator 2 demo would be nice.

My filebrowser nowdays is everywhere...

I've tested it about 10 years ago but it was never included on this collection.

I find it handy also on FE3 because you don't have to write the loader file if you add an item on the fly to your SD even if it's a bit slow when you put a lot of items to the folder.

PS: I'm releasing a new CBM FileBrowser version (1.7) that supports pi1541 too, it works with Mega-Cart and should work also with FE3 but I've not tested it yet.

Demos -> zimmers -> Demo disk #2

Will the new one work with long filenames? I always struggle to work out which game is which when I see a list of files called things like:
galaxi~1.prg
galaxi~2.prg
galaxi~3.prg
galaxi~4.prg
gab4f6~1.prg
etc.

I have to put the name or block size in a spreadsheet to look up which one to run.

It's excellent as it is, but that would be amazing if it's possible. I use it on the SD2IEC if that makes any difference.

16 chars lenght is a IEC limit and the tilde sign is a way for sd2iec firmware (similar to DOS 8+3) allowing display long file names, it's exactly the output of a simple LOAD"$",8 and there is nothing I can do, the pi1541 for example uses a tilde but with 16 chars in total, by using the filebrowser, the same SD card will be displayed differently if used from a SD2IEC drive or a PI1541 drive.

For .prg file I suggest to remove the extension so you gain 4 chars, CBM FileBrowser will load them anyway.

For multiple d64/d71/d81 files you may write a autoswap.lst file once in the folder then just press the Disk Swap button on the SD2IEC drive when you are inside the folder and select any d64 from the browser, the first d64 of the list will always displayed, you don't need to exit with Q as displayed on some tutorial over the internet.

Again, the pi1541 is a bit more flexible, you may write multiple .lst files on a folder (not just one autoswap.lst per folder) an then mount it like a d64, I support this feature on version 1.7 but it works only for pi1541 at the moment unless it will be implemented from the sd2iec firmware too.

When do you think this will happen? I would love to get my mega-cart updated! I have one before sort was implemented.
