<div>Note that when an hex address is given, it's meant to instruct as to which address to bload or to send (ie foenixmgr python script) the program (ie a .bin file) to before running it. For extra help on how to run .bin files and almost every possible scheme that has to be used to run program, you can consult this video that's also part of [[Getting Started]], this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ShFv89KGDs<br />
<br />
Many download links are posts in the main [https://discord.gg/9vjUEGgcUS Foenix Retro Systems discord server] which will require you to join in order to get to them.<br />
<br />
A [[Getting Started#Demos Archive|Demo Archive]] was put together in September 2023 to get ready to show to youtubers, some of these are linked once more, in this page. <br />
<br />
There's also the Foenix Marketplace website maintained by EMWhite with its own collection of articles and software http://apps.emwhite.org/foenixmarketplace/. <br />
<br />
===== Curated SD card collection of games, demos, utilities =====<br />
Here is a download link to a zip file meant to be extracted into the root of an SD card: https://github.com/Mu0n/F256MiscGoodies/tree/main/SDCard_Collection<br />
<br />
Best to wipe out your SD card and start anew with the contents of this extracted to root. Micah's file manager doesn't like long lists of files so it really is best to not overdo it. I tried to minimize the files in root, but I couldn't for everything.<br />
<br />
Open the readme.txt file with moreorless to see some instructions about the collection. Best to run /- fm first, then open the readme.txt from it<br />

|v2.1 Needs a Jr.2 or K2 since it uses the VS1053b chip. https://github.com/Mu0n/F256KsimpleCdoodles/tree/main/NoFussDemos<br />
run operation 1: just as itself, it will force you to pick an audio file. it expects a <code>mp3/</code> folder, but it can live without it and peek into the root instead. <br />
<br />
run operation 2: with an argument, it will auto-play it: /- f256amp mp3/yourmp3file.mp3 <br />
<br />
run operation 3: in f/manager, if you put this as <code>audioplayer.pgz</code> in the '_apps/' folder. This lets f/manager automatically open up .mp3, .wav, .ogg, .wma that you press enter on.<br />

Many download links are posts in the main [https://discord.gg/9vjUEGgcUS Foenix Retro Systems discord server] which will require you to join in order to get to them.<br />
<br />
A [[Getting Started#Demos Archive|Demo Archive]] was put together in September 2023 to get ready to show to youtubers, some of these are linked once more, in this page. <br />
<br />
There's also the Foenix Marketplace website maintained by EMWhite with its own collection of articles and software http://apps.emwhite.org/foenixmarketplace/. <br />

===== Curated SD card collection of games, demos, utilities =====<br />
Here is a download link to a zip file meant to be extracted into the root of an SD card: https://github.com/Mu0n/F256MiscGoodies/tree/main/SDCard_Collection<br />
<br />
Best to wipe out your SD card and start anew with the contents of this extracted to root. Micah's file manager doesn't like long lists of files so it really is best to not overdo it. I tried to minimize the files in root, but I couldn't for everything.<br />
<br />
Open the readme.txt file with moreorless to see some instructions about the collection. Best to run /- fm first, then open the readme.txt from it<br />

|v1.0 MIDI in and out capable, it will still partially work with a Jr. (PSG, and SID if you have them), a K (PSG, SID, OPL3) and the newest wave 2 Jr2 and K2 (PSG, SID, OPL3, SAM, VS1053b).<br />
Best to use with a MIDI in controller, but it'll be controllable with arrows and space to make notes individually, or the F keys to start beats. https://github.com/Mu0n/F256KsimpleCdoodles/tree/main/NoFussDemos<br />

add the filename as a command line parameter (ie /- midiplayer filename.mid) <br />
uses the SAM2695 or can toggle to the VS1053b during playback on the K2 or Jr2 only (K and Jr will remain silent). Can open type 0 and type 1 standard MIDI files (SMF).<br />
Currently has an issue with multi-tempo tracks, it'll only use the last one detect for the whole track.<br />
If put inside the root folder's '_apps' folder, will be used by f/manager from this page's Utilities section<br />

Many download links are posts in the main [https://discord.gg/9vjUEGgcUS Foenix Retro Systems discord server] which will require you to join in order to get to them.<br />
<br />
A [[Getting Started#Demos Archive|Demo Archive]] was put together in September 2023 to get ready to show to youtubers, some of these are linked once more, in this page. <br />

There's also the Foenix Marketplace website maintained by EMWhite with its own collection of articles and software http://apps.emwhite.org/foenixmarketplace/. <br />

===== Curated SD card collection of games, demos, utilities =====<br />
Here is a download link to a zip file meant to be extracted into the root of an SD card: https://github.com/Mu0n/F256MiscGoodies/tree/main/SDCard_Collection<br />
<br />
Best to wipe out your SD card and start anew with the contents of this extracted to root. Micah's file manager doesn't like long lists of files so it really is best to not overdo it. I tried to minimize the files in root, but I couldn't for everything.<br />
<br />
Open the readme.txt file with moreorless to see some instructions about the collection. Best to run /- fm first, then open the readme.txt from it<br />

|v1.0 MIDI in and out capable, it will still partially work with a Jr. (PSG, and SID if you have them), a K (PSG, SID, OPL3) and the newest wave 2 Jr2 and K2 (PSG, SID, OPL3, SAM, VS1053b).<br />
Best to use with a MIDI in controller, but it'll be controllable with arrows and space to make notes individually, or the F keys to start beats. https://github.com/Mu0n/F256KsimpleCdoodles/tree/main/NoFussDemos<br />

|v1.2 at https://github.com/Mu0n/F256KsimpleCdoodles/tree/main/NoFussDemos<br />
add the filename as a command line parameter (ie /- midiplayer filename.mid) <br />
uses the SAM2695 or can toggle to the VS1053b during playback on the K2 or Jr2 only (K and Jr will remain silent). Can open type 0 and type 1 standard MIDI files (SMF).<br />
Currently has an issue with multi-tempo tracks, it'll only use the last one detect for the whole track.<br />
If put inside the root folder's '_apps' folder, will be used by f/manager from this page's Utilities section<br />

Many download links are posts in the main [https://discord.gg/9vjUEGgcUS Foenix Retro Systems discord server] which will require you to join in order to get to them.<br />
<br />
A [[Getting Started#Demos Archive|Demo Archive]] was put together in September 2023 to get ready to show to youtubers, some of these are linked once more, in this page. <br />
<br />
There's also the Foenix Marketplace website maintained by EMWhite with its own collection of articles and software http://apps.emwhite.org/foenixmarketplace/. <br />
<br />
===== Curated SD card collection of games, demos, utilities =====<br />
Here is a download link to a zip file meant to be extracted into the root of an SD card: https://github.com/Mu0n/F256MiscGoodies/tree/main/SDCard_Collection<br />
<br />
Best to wipe out your SD card and start anew with the contents of this extracted to root. Micah's file manager doesn't like long lists of files so it really is best to not overdo it. I tried to minimize the files in root, but I couldn't for everything.<br />
<br />
Open the readme.txt file with moreorless to see some instructions about the collection. Best to run /- fm first, then open the readme.txt from it<br />

|Mu0n<br />
|pgz<br />
|v1.0 MIDI in and out capable, it will still partially work with a Jr. (PSG, and SID if you have them), a K (PSG, SID, OPL3) and the newest wave 2 Jr2 and K2 (PSG, SID, OPL3, SAM, VS1053b).<br />
Best to use with a MIDI in controller, but it'll be controllable with arrows and space to make notes individually, or the F keys to start beats. https://github.com/Mu0n/F256KsimpleCdoodles/tree/main/NoFussDemos<br />

|v1.2 at https://github.com/Mu0n/F256KsimpleCdoodles/tree/main/NoFussDemos<br />
add the filename as a command line parameter (ie /- midiplayer filename.mid) <br />
uses the SAM2695 or can toggle to the VS1053b during playback on the K2 or Jr2 only (K and Jr will remain silent). Can open type 0 and type 1 standard MIDI files (SMF).<br />
Currently has an issue with multi-tempo tracks, it'll only use the last one detect for the whole track.<br />
If put inside the root folder's '_apps' folder, will be used by f/manager from this page's Utilities section<br />

Many download links are posts in the main [https://discord.gg/9vjUEGgcUS Foenix Retro Systems discord server] which will require you to join in order to get to them.<br />
<br />
A [[Getting Started#Demos Archive|Demo Archive]] was put together in September 2023 to get ready to show to youtubers, some of these are linked once more, in this page. <br />
<br />
There's also the Foenix Marketplace website maintained by EMWhite with its own collection of articles and software http://apps.emwhite.org/foenixmarketplace/. <br />
<br />
===== Curated SD card collection of games, demos, utilities =====<br />
Here is a download link to a zip file meant to be extracted into the root of an SD card: https://github.com/Mu0n/F256MiscGoodies/tree/main/SDCard_Collection<br />
<br />
Best to wipe out your SD card and start anew with the contents of this extracted to root. Micah's file manager doesn't like long lists of files so it really is best to not overdo it. I tried to minimize the files in root, but I couldn't for everything.<br />
<br />
Open the readme.txt file with moreorless to see some instructions about the collection. Best to run /- fm first, then open the readme.txt from it<br />

Best to use with a MIDI in controller, but it'll be controllable with arrows and space to make notes individually, or the F keys to start beats. https://github.com/Mu0n/F256KsimpleCdoodles/tree/main/NoFussDemos<br />

add the filename as a command line parameter (ie /- midiplayer filename.mid) <br />
uses the SAM2695 or can toggle to the VS1053b during playback on the K2 or Jr2 only (K and Jr will remain silent). Can open type 0 and type 1 standard MIDI files (SMF).<br />
Currently has an issue with multi-tempo tracks, it'll only use the last one detect for the whole track.<br />
If put inside the root folder's '_apps' folder, will be used by f/manager from this page's Utilities section<br />

Many download links are posts in the main [https://discord.gg/9vjUEGgcUS Foenix Retro Systems discord server] which will require you to join in order to get to them.<br />
<br />
A [[Getting Started#Demos Archive|Demo Archive]] was put together in September 2023 to get ready to show to youtubers, some of these are linked once more, in this page. <br />

There's also the Foenix Marketplace website maintained by EMWhite with its own collection of articles and software http://apps.emwhite.org/foenixmarketplace/. <br />

===== Curated SD card collection of games, demos, utilities =====<br />
Here is a download link to a zip file meant to be extracted into the root of an SD card: https://github.com/Mu0n/F256MiscGoodies/tree/main/SDCard_Collection<br />
<br />
Best to wipe out your SD card and start anew with the contents of this extracted to root. Micah's file manager doesn't like long lists of files so it really is best to not overdo it. I tried to minimize the files in root, but I couldn't for everything.<br />
<br />
Open the readme.txt file with moreorless to see some instructions about the collection. Best to run /- fm first, then open the readme.txt from it<br />

Best to use with a MIDI in controller, but it'll be controllable with arrows and space to make notes individually, or the F keys to start beats. https://github.com/Mu0n/F256KsimpleCdoodles/tree/main/NoFussDemos<br />

add the filename as a command line parameter (ie /- midiplayer filename.mid) <br />
uses the SAM2695 or can toggle to the VS1053b during playback on the K2 or Jr2 only (K and Jr will remain silent). Can open type 0 and type 1 standard MIDI files (SMF).<br />
Currently has an issue with multi-tempo tracks, it'll only use the last one detect for the whole track.<br />
If put inside the root folder's '_apps' folder, will be used by f/manager from this page's Utilities section<br />

Many download links are posts in the main [https://discord.gg/9vjUEGgcUS Foenix Retro Systems discord server] which will require you to join in order to get to them.<br />
<br />
A [[Getting Started#Demos Archive|Demo Archive]] was put together in September 2023 to get ready to show to youtubers, some of these are linked once more, in this page. <br />

There's also the Foenix Marketplace website maintained by EMWhite with its own collection of articles and software http://apps.emwhite.org/foenixmarketplace/. <br />

===== Curated SD card collection of games, demos, utilities =====<br />
Here is a download link to a zip file meant to be extracted into the root of an SD card: https://github.com/Mu0n/F256MiscGoodies/tree/main/SDCard_Collection<br />
<br />
Best to wipe out your SD card and start anew with the contents of this extracted to root. Micah's file manager doesn't like long lists of files so it really is best to not overdo it. I tried to minimize the files in root, but I couldn't for everything.<br />
<br />
Open the readme.txt file with moreorless to see some instructions about the collection. Best to run /- fm first, then open the readme.txt from it<br />

<hr />
<div>Apart from the 256K RAM expansion cartridge there is also [https://c256foenix.com/product/flashcart256k/?v=5f02f0889301 256K flash expansion cartridge] for the F256 K/Jr. available from Foenix Retro Systems. This cartridge contains extra flash memory which can be used to store software and data in a non volatile fashion. The extra memory is visible at 24 bit address $100000. The MMU (see [[Memory Management]]) can map the 32 8K blocks on the cartridge as blocks $80 to $9F into the 64K base memory.<br />
<br />
When booting your Foenix the [[MicroKernel]] looks for a Kernel User Program (KUP, see [[File Formats]]) to start in the flash cartridge, in the on-board flash memory and (depending on the position of your [[DIP switches]]) also in the on-board RAM. In a typical configuration on a system with a flash expansion cartridge the first memory region to be searched is the memory occupied by the cartridge. Or in other words if there is at least one KUP in your flash cartridge the first one found will be started automatically after power on and after each reset. If you want to write data on your flash expansion cartridge then there are two programs which can be used for this purpose:<br />
<br />
* F256_FlashCart: https://github.com/Red-Fool/F256_FlashCart<br />
* fcart: https://github.com/rmsk2/cartflash<br />
<br />
Both do run on your Foenix machine. F256_FlashCart is written in BASIC and always erases the whole flash chip before writing new data to it. fcart allows to incrementally write data to a flash cartridge by only erasing the flash blocks which it is told to overwrite. Additionally it can be built in three versions. First as a pgz file (see [[File Formats]]) which can be run py [[Pexec]], then as a KUP which expects to be run from on-board flash and finally as a KUP which can be run from the last block of the flash cartridge itself. This allows the cartridge to be self contained in such a way that no additional software is needed to store data on it.<br />
<br />
The 256K flash chip in the cartridge is a SST39LF/VF020 by [https://www.microchip.com/ Microchip]. Its data sheet can be found [https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/20005023B.pdf here]. The data sheet is necessary if one wants to understand what both of the programs linked above actually do. The flash cartridge is also compatible with the K2/JrJr.</div>Mgr42https://f256wiki.wildbitscomputing.com/index.php?title=Software_for_6502&diff=37875Software for 65022025-01-10T18:04:12Z<p>Mgr42: /* Utilities */</p>
<hr />
<div>Note that when an hex address is given, it's meant to instruct as to which address to bload or to send (ie foenixmgr python script) the program (ie a .bin file) to before running it.<br />

<div>Apart from the 256K RAM expansion cartridge there is also [https://c256foenix.com/product/flashcart256k/?v=5f02f0889301 256K flash expansion cartridge] for the F256 K/Jr. available from Foenix Retro Systems. This cartridge contains extra flash memory which can be used to store software and data in a non volatile fashion. The extra memory is visible at 24 bit address $100000. The MMU (see [[Memory Management]]) can map the 32 8K blocks on the cartridge as blocks $80 to $9F into the 64K base memory.<br />
<br />
When booting your Foenix the [[MicroKernel]] looks for a Kernel User Program (KUP, see [[File Formats]]) to start in the flash cartridge, in the on-board flash memory and (depending on the position of your [[DIP switches]]) also in the on-board RAM. In a typical configuration on a system with a flash expansion cartridge the first memory region to be searched is the memory occupied by the cartridge. Or in other words if there is at least one KUP in your flash cartridge the first one found will be started automatically after power on and after each reset. If you want to write data on your flash expansion cartridge then there are two programs which can be used for this purpose:<br />
<br />
* F256_FlashCart: https://github.com/Red-Fool/F256_FlashCart<br />
* fcart: https://github.com/rmsk2/cartflash<br />
<br />
Both do run on your Foenix machine. F256_FlashCart is written in BASIC and always erases the whole flash chip before writing new data to it. fcart allows to incrementally write data to a flash cartridge by only erasing the flash blocks which it is told to overwrite. Additionally it can be built in three versions. First as a pgz file (see [[File Formats]]) which can be run py [[Pexec]], then as a KUP which expects to be run from on-board flash and finally as KUP which can run from the last block of the flash cartridge itself. This allows the cartridge to be self contained in such a way that no additional software is needed to store data on it.<br />
<br />
The 256K flash chip in the cartridge is a SST39LF/VF020 by [https://www.microchip.com/ Microchip]. Its data sheet can be found [https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/20005023B.pdf here]. The data sheet is necessary if one wants to understand what both of the programs linked above actually do. The flash cartridge is also compatible with the K2/JrJr.</div>Mgr42https://f256wiki.wildbitscomputing.com/index.php?title=CartFlasher&diff=37872CartFlasher2025-01-10T17:56:46Z<p>Mgr42: Add information on how to run the mentioned programs</p>
