Reset c64+retro-replay via ethernet?
Is there any firmware available for an rr-net equipped retro-replay that would allow me to reset my c64 via ethernet/tcp ip? Or is that not doable with the hardware?
I cross develop from my laptop, but it's a pain having to reach around the c64 to hit reset every time I want to send a new executable. (yes, I know I could have my demo or whatever listen out for ethernet activity, but I'd rather not sully the code...)
Besides, I want to send others' demos from halfway across the loungeroom without getting off the couch ;-) |

Damn. Thanks Groepaz.
Are there any carts out at the moment that can do that?
I could always solder an arduino controlled relay across the reset switch, but that seems like overkill to me. |

that is not a bad idea even :) |

I still occasionally use a modified RS232 adapter which resets on break with over5. Would love to do that with Ethernet instead.
It should be technically doable with the flavours of 1541U, especially 1541U-I, but nobody did it yet AFAIK. |

IMHO If you're not doing something completely out of the world, emulators would do the job for you, and you can only test right before releasing.
btw, loved your work so far, looking forward to this :) |

I'm gagging for functionality like that as well, especially since the 64 is sitting longer than an arms length away :)
That said, logikstate was working on EasyFlash USB stuff, and by the looks of his video it's rebooting on downloads..
USB Freezer/Downloader
Which would perfectly solve my '64 on other side of room' problem right now :)

@Oswald - I'm still trying to nail down some bugfixes for reSID's envelope emulation, but you're mostly right, all my VIC stuff's emulated well enough now.
Thanks for the compliment, I really need to spend more time on c64 and less on tumblr... |

Yep, my little project is on the back burner whilst I clear a bit of space. I pretty much have the freeze/reset/download new code bit working... I was in the middle of getting true h/w breakpoints working and stumbled across some weird problem when setting breakpoints in ROM (in the ROM h/w breakpoint interrupt) which I believe was something to do with myself not fully understanding how the h/w writes to ram/registers... I *think* I have a fix for that... might have to have a look over the weekend... |
