ROManager

324 bytes added, 22:51, 26 February 2011
The program '''ROManager''' for [[FutureOS|FutureOS]] and [[AMSDOS]]/[[BASIC]] (*) allows was the first and is still the most comprehensive application for the management of the 512 KB Pseudo-ROM of the [[SYMBiFACE II|SYMBiFACE II]] developed by [[Dr.Zed|Dr.Zed]]. You can load/save all ROMs at once. And every single 16 KB Pseudo-ROM can be managed individually. It The software was developed developped by [[TFM|TFM]] of [[FutureSoft|FutureSoft]] and the SF2 was developed by [[Dr.Zed|Dr.Zed]].
"*"The version for [[AMSDOS]]/[[BASIC]] is here: [[ROManager BASIC]]
'''ROManager provides the following functions:'''
(All 32 ROMs can be loaded / saved at once and every single 16 KB ROM can be managed individually).*Park or Unpark ROMs: Makes a ROM visible of invisible to the CPC-OS. This is done by manipulating the Byte at &C000. A parked ROM will not be initialized by the AmsOSCPC-OS.
*Load ROM(s) (one or all 32): This function allows to load a 16 ROM (or 32 ROMs of 16 KB at once) and to install it in the SF.
*Save ROM(s) (one or all 32): Saves one or all ROMs to disc or hard disc. This feature can be used to create backups.
*Copy ROM(s): Allows copying the content of one ROM select (16 KB) to another. You can use this function for example to copy the BASIC ROM to all free ROM selects. In effect it's a ROM duplication. *Shift ROM(s): Shifts a 16 KB ROM from one ROM select to another, the old ROM select will be erased (that means it will be filled with &FF bytes).
*Erase ROM(s): Deletes a 16 KB ROM with &FF bytes.
*Test ROM(s): Provide information about a ROM ; like its Type, Version, Mark, ROM name etc. Further you can install the correct checksum to a changed an altered ROM. Every ROM (but [[AMSDOS]], [[BASIC]] and [[ParaDOS]]) has a one byte checksum (at address &FFFF) that allows to check its integrity. The ROMs at position 0 (usually the BASIC ROM) and 7 (usually AmsDOS) are protected.
