MMC Replay NTSC FAQ - Want to help?

[redrumloa]

I'm going to try to compile a running FAQ for the MMC Replay. Please post any information you can provide, I will update this FAQ as information comes in. Any and all info is welcome.

MMC Replay FAQ

Q: What product is this FAQ about?
A: MMC Replay NTSC

Q: What is the current ROM revision?
A: V0.54

Q: Does the SID player work?
A: Partially.

Q: Does the built in D64 plugin work?
A: Yes, slowly.

Q: What size SD/MMC cards does the MMC Replay support?
A: Any size available on the market, including SDHC. It has been reported that most plugins require the SD/MMC card formated to FAT16. (More info may be needed on this)

Q: Does the T64 plugin work?
A: The older v0.04 plugin is reported to work perfect.

Q: Does the D64 Mounter work?
A: Partially. Single load games typically work. Multiload games work if standard kernal routines are used. Games with fastload or custom routines do not work.

Q: What is a DFI and why do I need it?
A: DFI is a disk image without the size restriction of D64, D81 etc. DFI was made popular with the IDE64 and many multiload games have been fixed for this image file type. A collection of DFI fixed, NTSC tested games is located HERE.

Q: What hardware have software support on the Amiga style clockport built into the MMC Replay?
A: Silver Surfer fast serial card and RR-Net ethernet are supported in various programs. The MP3@64 MP3 hardware decoder should theoretically also work, but no longer mechanically fits with the new board layout.

Q: Have any machines been found to be incompatible?
A: The C-One with FPGA64 v.25 is reported not working.

Q: Does the MMC Replay work with a SuperCPU?
A: No, does not appear to be SuperCPU friendly. SCPU Initialization Error 06 is the error code.

Q: What are the main differences to Retro Replay (and MMC64 / Action Replay VI)?
A: MMC64 inegrated, 8 flash banks (instead of 2), memory expansion

Q: How are the filenames sorted?
A: In the order they are copied (no alphabetical sort)

Q: Does it come with case / can I use any standard size module case?
A: It does not come with a case typically, there are new cases available, but you need to cut out the holes for MMC card, reset & freeze buttons, led lights and Ethernet connection (if you use rr-net as well)

Q: Any list of tested, working T64(0.04 plug-in) images?
A: Attack of the Mutant Camels, Arcadia64

Q: Is there a list of verified MMC/SD cards with Fat16?
A: 64MB SanDisk SD, 2GB MMC Mobile Dual Voltage(with SD adaptor)

OK  i found it

D64 writer plug-in

It copy's a d64 back to disk in around 8 seconds. Apparently the kernel version is slower but more compatible

But does it work on NTSC machines :getmad:

[redrumloa]

've also read that you can put the RR in FLASH mode and it will work with the 128, havent tested this since my RR and RR-Net are on the fritz. Does anyone have a 128D(cr or not), RAMLink, 80 columns, SCPU, RR and RR-Net that they could try this on?

Possibly in the near future. My 128T is based on a a 128D motherboard, but it is in storage atm since the move.

If that is reference to Eddiie's questions, no worries he was invited by me into this thread. A good part of his questions are directly related and the rest could provide helpful answers.

Why dont you just try it and find out.  :madashell: [/quote]

What's with the attitude? The fast D64 writer is known NOT TO WORK with NTSC machines, yet you come into a thread about building FAQ for a NTSC machines and procalaim it working. A little clarification is not an unreasonable request.

I did not proclaim that it worked on NTSC machine as the site I linked to where I got the thing does not say if it works or doesnt work with NTSC machines.
I tried to help and then you seemed to give me attitude by ending your post with the getmad smiley

Ok, I see the confusion. I didn't mean to use the get mad smiley, but the  :-?

Sorry for any confusion.

@ Wolfeman

I have updated the FAQ, but have not included the TNT Browser info you provided yet. Could you please explain briefly what it is exactly? Is it an alternative browser?

You really should download it and try it for yourself. I gave all the links and info with my post.

Here is the condition of my computer room atm.



My C= computers are temporarily in storage.

speaking of which, where are all the MMCR users that were here before?

has interested evaporated? I feel kinda silly posting to two forums where one has no interest or feedback [that would be this one]

Everyone has lives and this is just a hobby. Unfortunately all forums are rather slow when it comes to C= 8bit. Furthermore while I am putting the faq together here(Amiga.org is my home), and while Amiga.org is tolerant of C=8bit discussion, this *is* an Amiga forum. It may be a step slower than Lemon64 on C=8bit discussion.
