| Summary |
 06215: sorcererd: Refuse to load some cpm programs! |
||||
| Description |
Have been testing / comparing the disk emulation of JSorcerer Stand alone emu and MAME/MESS sorcererd driver. JSorcerer Stand alone emulator - http://www.liaquay.co.uk/sorcerer/instructions.html Both emus boot CPM disk fine with >GO BC00 from Monitor! But there is a problem; MESS refuse to load programs: EXBASIC, MBASIC, OBASIC, that loads / works fine in JSorcerer emu! As there exist a source code of JSorcerer Stand alone emu, hope it might be of help to improve the sorcererd driver disk emulation. http://www.liaquay.co.uk/sorcerer/sorcerer-1.30.zip (or http://www.liaquay.co.uk/sorcerer/ - see on page bottom) It would be nice to see the MESS sorcererd driver disk emu to behave the same as JSorcerer disk emu! (if possible) |

| Steps To Reproduce | |||||
| Additional Information |
Other for info.. There are some .COM files on CPM disk that need Standard Basic cartridge to be enabled / attached! For example files like: BASIC, BASIC1, BASIC2, CALENDAR, DISKBAS, LIBINDEX and TOUCH. So, run the CPM in MESS sorcered driver with Standard Basic cartridge attached, then in basic type BYE, in Monitor type >GO BC00 to load CP/M, in CP/M type (for example) BASIC1, then in basic type RUN. This works fine in MESS. (nice) |

Any file larger than 16k will not load from disk. The first 16k loads ok, then it hangs. Reason not known. |
