Remember your browser caches the roms/hdd so no need to keep loading them, hit START and experiment.
Cool. loaded the contents of a folder on my pc into E: and played a game no problems. This is a great feature, no need for host2cpm :-) Not sure how to set screen for a full view though. current resolution is 1920x1080. Noticed CD E
S40 did'nt work for a dsk file but that may be a trade off. Great Work !RE: VibeDroneBeeWolf400 - Graham72 - 26-09-2026
thanks for feedback. Attached recoded SCREEN button.
Please explain a bit more of your DS_40.dsk issue. (I click FOLDER pick supercalc2.ds_40.dsk : type E: enter and SC2.com runs.)

Sorry, just me. i was trying to use the cd e:ds40 command , looks like there is no need for that to access E: as in real hardware. also I was trying to use a disk image from ubee512 which was merely named boot.dsk. so added suffix DS_40 and it works of the bat when loading it as a floppy.

Yep I've taken a few shortcuts.

Being able to modify the contents of a cf image on my pc is very handy. Might redo a couple of CF cards for my Freemium :-)

I'm thinking about turning on the next two partitions so, all up ,~30mb will be available. Click for example SWITCH button and partition 5 becomes B:. Click again partition 6 becomes B: then back to original partition 2 Does that make sense?.

i'm no expert but under emulation it makes perfect sense.

update Tuesday. Extra 2 partitions can be swapped in and out on a 32meg image as B: .
And due to thinking long and hard about Matilda I realised I had not included mouse support in the cf premium. Click the [mouse] button below the canvas before running any program that uses a mouse. Press ESC when finished to return cursor control to browser and OS. Or reboot. I have not tried a mouse, but it runs well with my touchpad.
feedback sought please.

Has the keyboard click gone?
Bonus Info: Peter Broughton's config utility, entered via Ctrl-9, six submenus:
Main menu (window.as) — plus a few undocumented keys:
F — Function key editor (program/save/load the 12 programmable function keys)
K — Key click (what we just wired up: pitch 1-9, length/volume 0-9)
M — Miscellaneous: just CPU speed, Fast (6.75MHz) / Slow (3.375MHz)
S — Screen: move the display with cursor keys, set foreground/background/window colors, toggle 24 vs 25-line status bar
T — Clock: set date (4 different formats) and time, day-of-week calc
B — Warm boot, which opens a further sub-choice: Shell, CCP, Warm boot, B coldboot, M ROM monitor, or E to edit the boot command line first
V (undocumented) — print BIOS version
Ctrl-X (undocumented) — prints a hello/greeting message
Ctrl-L — force a menu redraw
Ctrl-[ (Escape) — exit the window entirely
extra extra bonus: prt_main_menu has a source comment saying it occasionally prints "PJB's greeting message" when a retrace counter hits zero — that's likely where the author credit actually comes from, a periodic easter egg rather than a static string
