[41CL WARP] XEQ+ oddness

[cdmackay]

thank you both.

I was going to ask Sylvain's question too, about how it knows how many banks to use, but then assumed it didn't directly matter, since it's all tied to a single page (for '*') and so presumably a 3-bank module never accesses the 4th bank.

ah! that is most interesting; I had wondered what the connection might be, or just random RAM over-writing.

I think you mentioned never doing an update prior to this one. Monte has just released an updated ROM library, I suggest you use it to update your flash with all modules involved. Don't forget IMDB.ROM, critical since a few images have changed location too.

Once you're on the latest revisions we'll have a better handle on the troubleshooting...

Actually, I update fairly often, and had recently updated to the 3/3/2021 set, before trying WARP for the first time. I ran into an issue with the OS pages not being updated, and then having to manually force them. I worried that perhaps I'd done something wrong there, but Monte confirmed I had done it correctly (well, from what I reported at least, which might have missed something).

So my OSX3 & PWRX ought to be correct. I was going to check their checksums today, just to be sure.

But now I will try the 4/4/2021 set instead.

I note that the latest set does not include updates to 4LIB or WARP.

I'll first try the 4/4/2021 set as is, and see what happens.

If the problem is still present, I'll then try adding your new 4LIB/WARP, from the zip file above (well, from my existing 0x82x RAM pages, assuming they survive; I'll check their YCRC first).

thanks!
