MMC64 UPDATES
Oliver Achten has done a lot of work
on the MMC64: Since MMC and SD cards
with a capacity of more than 4GB are
already available, MMC64 now supports
the FAT32 filesystem. This more modern
filesystem also has advantages on
smaller flashcards, because most C64
files are so small that FAT16 will
only waste a lot of space. The new
Bios also made updates on the plugins
necessary, most plugins experienced a
complete re-write, the old plugins
will be updated shortly and can
currently only be used with FAT16.The
MP3 plugin can now playback whole
directories as playlists. The new AVF
plugin plays an MMC64 proprietary
video format that also utilizes the
MP3@64 module. The Picture plugins
have also been updated and they are
available in version 1.3 at
http://www.siliconsonic.de/t/bin . An
example video file in AVF format is
also located there. An AVF Converter
for your videos is available as a beta
test version.
MMC64 Bios changes from V1.04 Finally,
a big update this time: - FAT32
support! Yes, Oliver managed to
squeeze FAT32 support into the MMC64
Bios. Now you don't have to worry
about cluster sizes anymore with big
memory cards. Currently, cards up to
4GB are supported. Cards >4GB have yet
to be released and require a change of
the MMC/SD command set anyway. - New
plugin system: FAT32 support required
Oliver to rework the plugin system.
When a FAT16 formatted card is used,
all plugins work asusual. Using FAT32
formatted cards, old plugins won't
work anymore, only new, so called
"multifat" plugins will work, which
are designed to support BOTH FAT16 and
FAT32. With the release of this Bios,
most plugins written by Oliver are
re-released in the new format.
- Fixed loading of plugins with long
filenames - Fixed support for very
small cards. - Fixed some problems
with FAT buffering. - Fixed a bug in
the volume name display routine. -
Instead of showing a computed size
value, the browser displays the card's
model ID, which always includes the
size.

file (only works at the end of screen)
