DTVTrans+: dtvtrans plus autoflash and autotype

[1570]

DTVTrans+ 1.0pre1 can be found on
picobay.com/dtv_wiki/index.php?title=DTVTrans
. This includes autoflash and autotype functionality.

Flash functionality (dtvtrans sync) can flash a FlashROM image to the DTV. The image format is the same as the one used by the viceplus.sourceforge.net/ DTV emulator. In short, this means that reflashing the complete DTV file system can be done with a single command now (note that reflashing $00xxxx isn't supported due to safety reasons).

Autotype functionality (dtvtrans type) allows to bootstrap DTVTrans with only Joyport2 mod needed by using the BASIC PROMPT easter egg. No keyboard or floppy connector required!

I'm waiting for someone contributing a windows build now .

Kudos to tlr for dtvtrans 0.6 and Flash 1.0. These programs and Spiff's autotype code have made this nice amalgam of functionality possible .

A windows binary has been built by tlr and is now available for download on picobay.com/dtv_wiki/index.php?title=DTVTrans .

This is great. Now we just need to get a few good libraries of ready-made flash images.

Or even better: Some more contributions to the games archive, so people can combine their own favorites into an image

DTVTrans+ 1.0pre3 is now available. It's basically a merge with tlr's DTVTrans 1.0 (better transfer speed, some additional commands) and fixes regarding autotype functionality which was not very reliable for some people previously. Windows build will follow.

Windows build is done now for DTVTrans+ 1.0pre3 and will be put to archive.

I did an in-place fix for the AT49BV163A issue [1] relevant for Hummer users mostly. Since DTVTrans+ comes with a bundled non-interactive Flash version, it was affected, too. Didn't test the Windows binary; I just used a hex editor to fix the one wrong byte .

There's DTVTrans+ 1.0 (final) now. Minor changes only: For me and some other people "safe setup" introduced in tlr's DTVTrans 1.0 didn't work reliably so it's disabled in DTVTrans+ 1.0 by default. Also, if any transfer errors occur, DTVTrans+ 1.0 will terminate (DTVTrans 1.0 ignores transfer errors).

I expect this to be the final release of DTVTrans+.
