v1.0.0atentdead0-149-g2624056c

!!! This is a not an official sd2iec release - The official website with official releases is sd2iec.de !!!

• Fixes #11, a stupid bug in 077d1f32, which broke sd card access for most hardware.
• Support starting Edge of Disgrace from "disk 0". Fixes #12.

Thanks @TomCat666 for reporting both bugs and testing the fixes!

v1.0.0atentdead0-147-g077d1f32

!!! This is a not an official sd2iec release - The official website with official releases is sd2iec.de !!!

• Fix for an issue which caused O-Tech People III to crash.
• Support to open files (only) in the FAT filesystem in read/write mode by (mis-)using the MODIFY access mode. See the README for details. This should work similar to what IDE64 implements. The latest Nostalgia IFFL releases with IDE64 compatibility use this feature e.g. for highscore saving and should now fully work with this firmware. See discussion in #8 for details (note that this issue is also about support for legacy N0SDOS without IDE64 compatibility, but that isn't included in this release). Thanks @TomCat666 and @Comos64 for the pointer and help!
• More fixes and documentation updates.

• Fixes and documentation updates.

X-2024 edition

!!! This is a not an official sd2iec release - The official website with official releases is sd2iec.de !!!

Add support for 13:37, which won the demo compo at the X-2024 party yesterday. Congratulations!

This release also includes a change to the software RTC (by default only included in the uIEC-variants): Like the hardware RTCs already did It now returns a 31,SYNTAX ERROR,00,00 until properly set.

v1.0.0atentdead0-105-g88a8f388

!!! This is a not an official sd2iec release - The official website with official releases is sd2iec.de !!!

Yet another Bitfire compatibility update.

This one adds support for Me & Batman and Maestro Smooth, which achieved 2nd and 7th place at Fjälldata 2024's C64 Demo compo this weekend.

The compo was won by The Ghost, which also uses Bitfire as its loader. This production didn't need any adjustments in the firmware, it already works with the previous release.

!!! This is a not an official sd2iec release - The official website with official releases is sd2iec.de !!!

Changes:

• Added support for Bitfire, BoozeLoader, Sparkle and Spindle. This means that nearly all of the 100 currently top-rated C64 demos on CSDb now work with this firmware (notable exceptions are Deus Ex Machina and +H2K). See the README and the tables at the end of the respective documentation for details.
• Merged upstream changes since last release.
• Multiple minor fixes.

v1.0.0atentdead0-59-g5f6521d

v1.0.0atentdead0-55-g91de152: Revert "Default to 0 for first two M-R result bytes"

!!! This is a not an official sd2iec release - The official website with official releases is sd2iec.de !!!

Changes:

• Revert 26dd93e, which turned out 1. to break the sd2iec detection of "GEOS MegaPatch 3" and 2. not necessary.
• Make the version strings (startup message and X? command) better match the official sd2iec releases (all PETSCII "lowercase" and git commit info added).

v1.0.0atentdead0-54-g3c2406e: Krill's loader support

!!! This is a not an official sd2iec release - The official website with official releases is sd2iec.de !!!

Changes compared to latest official nightlies

• Krill's Loader support. See krills-loader.txt and the respective section of the README for details.
• Hypra-Load fastloader support.
• Ultraboot and Ultraboot Maker support.
• Extended 1541 D64 images with more than 35 tracks can be mounted.
• Empty disk images can be created in the FAT filesystem of the SD card with the N: command, if no image is mounted. See the entry for N: in the "supported commands" section of the README for syntax and details.
• Various minor bugfixes.

When creating extended disk images with Ultraboot Maker, these might turn out non-standard (with more than 17 sectors on tracks beyond 35) and then won't work on emulators and can not be correctly written to a physical disk with common tools.

This version of nibtools was modified to work with such images and is able to write them to disk.
