Quote from: alessiman on October 20, 2025, 10:19:47 AMI can't seem to find the New Zealand Story from the list of floppy games you can create under c:/floppygames with the current version.  I was 99% sure this use to be here in a previous version

Can someone please confirm i am not going mad

You are right, the game has since been patched to work on SASI and SCSI machines so it's included in the action folder and removed as a writable floppy to save space.

Thank You!

Quote from: pocoaust on October 19, 2025, 02:03:05 PMFirstly, Thanks for all your efforts on this.

Good News, It worked on my ACE unit.

Bad news, still cant get it to work on my original.  I have compared all the schematics and the floppy signals appear the same, but when I plug it in, it stops the Wireless server from even starting.

I have replaced the bottom PCB on the x68000 with a new one, tried GOTEKs special cable and everything.

I am starting to wonder if it is the MAin MEMORY or SRAM on the machine, but without being able to boot a floppy I can check the sram etc.

Has anyone used this on the original Ce-6000CE?

Thanks Again.
Paul
I didn't tested this (the "2" version) on my CE-600 but previous versions work, and there's no reason why it shouldn't work.
But i had to change sram in my CE-600, and rewire a track i damaged in desoldering... it's not an easy trip. If it could help and i remember well, i checked SRAM signals with a scope to find it was faulty.

Yes, the wifi.cfg in sdcard need to have your local wifi ssid in first row and password in the second one, with no other chars in beginning, for example:
myssid
mycatname

and the best way to check if it works is to enter in your usual wifi setup from a browser and look if the x68kfdpi2w is connected. You may need also to enable it in your lan, in the same way you did for Alexa, phone, thermostat etc.
When found the IP number assigned by your WAN, you could enter the file browser simply by entering that ip number in your browser!

For debugging, the best option is to connect the board to a Arduino IDE and use the serial monitor integrated, while looking at the code in case of issues.

Sorry,

Also, is the SSID and Password for the local Wireless network, or to create a new Wireless network?

And if so how are IP's allocated?

Thanks
Paul
