P08 Support Information

[antus]

Ive sent a couple of merge requests. One fixes a problem with the wrong address going across in the Mode 34 request to upload. It seems that it providing the kernel address then loading to the loader address. It seems not all P08s enforce this, but mine was. Now that the correct address is in the Mode34 the loader and the kernel are working properly. While working on this I also found an unused wait function and recovered about 40 bytes from both kernels. That merge request also fixes the block checksum test on P08.

The latest artifact (test build).

Test em up please, most specifically the P04, P08 and E54!

Read Entire PCM
Read Properties
Verify Entire PCM works on the P04, more work to be done for the P08 and E54, coming soon!

Post em up, debug logs and bins (unless you already provided bins) from PCMHammer reads.

Thanks y'all!

Browse to where you saved it during download, drag n drop it where you want to unzip it on the fly, adjust destination directory name accordingly in the Select Destination Dialog, when done, browse to Destination directory, find PCMHammer.exe and double click on it.

I guess mine has had a fair lot testing already finding the reason the loader wasn't working on it, but its all good now and here are my logs.

My windows won't download it it,,said "its not commonly downloaded and left it in my files but its unusable

there should be an option to keep the file. hit the 3 dot menu button to the right of the download, then 'Keep', then a bigger warning will probably appear. Click 'Show more' at the bottom of that one, and then 'Keep anyway'.

Attached screenshots of the menus in Edge, Chrome should be similar.

I picked up a spare p08 today, attempted to read it but it failed.

That is an Unknown OsID to PcmHammer ...

I'll add it, a build with it added will be available a bit later.

I tried that and it denied me,, i got an old experimental build that reads both my pcm's so i'll stick with that.

I've been meaning to try building PCM Hammer on my own so I finally took this as the reason to do so. So I followed your write up on using Git and added this OSID, seems to have worked. Took me a minute to realize I had to copy over the p08 loader and kernel from your test build though.

One thing I noticed that I'm wondering if maybe someone could help me figure out, my commits keep showing changes to PCMHammer.csproj and I can't figure out how to make git ignore them because it's not relevant.

Awesome job!

If you read the Readme's you'll see what it takes to build the Loaders and Kernels...

Quick summary,

To build the Kernels you'll need the gcc-m68k toolchain for Windows available here: http://gnutoolchains.com/m68k-elf/

The gcc-m68k toolchain needs to be installed to the installation default location of C:\SysGCC\m68k-elf or you need to
point to the location of m68k-elf-gcc.exe with the -g command line parameter (See: Build.cmd -h), allowing it to add itself to
the PATH is your choice, Build.cmd does not require it.

Then it's simple to build the Loaders and Kernels ...
Drop to a Native Windows Command Prompt, change directory to PcmHacks\Kernels and type,

BuildAll.cmd

And hit enter ... It will build all the Loaders and or Kernels and copy them to the PcmHammer Debug build directory (..\Apps\PcmHammer\bin\Debug).

For further control of the build, you can work directly with Build.cmd (the .cmd is important), it builds each Kernel or Loader, Kernel pair individually with more control.
At the Native Windows Command Prompt type,

Build.cmd /h

For Build.cmd usage.

FMI ask.

Edit;
You do not want to make git ignore PCMHammer.csproj, just remove it from the list before commiting, unless you have done something that needs to be commited.
This is an assnine problem with VS, what is changed should be in the User project file not projects project file.
