I checked many files.

Dumped rom by my Griffin(firmware version V1) has not AA BB 02 in the header.

But, there are 2byte different. Byte 0Eh & 0Fh is 56 31 "V1" in ascii.

My griffin is early firmware. If I use later firmware, AA BB 02 header may be add.

But No problem I can change using binary editor.

Ok , I confirm drag&drop working AA BB 02 file. Thanks.


Please support GameDcotor series.

I found some SMC files is not support drag & drop.

They are Super Pro Fighter and Super UFO format.

When I see ucon64 source(ufo.h & fig.h), they are slightly diffrent SMC format.

Please support these format if you can.


About SD version , can I use 20x4 character LCD in future ?

16x2 LCD is narrow.

Hi Jeff

I am waiting GameDoctor support now.


Btw, I found my SD-card PCB can't write, delete file & format disk.

LCD freeze track 0.

Any advice about that ?

If you use the latest firmware it's probably a bad decoupling and/or a bad 3V3 regulation and/or a bad pcb routing (no ground plane) problem.

ok I will check them later.

I have another question about FDD pinout of SDCard version.

This pinout is based on Amiga FDD pinout, I think.

In PC/AT pin34 is disk change signal but Ready signal in SDCard ver.
pin2 is density select signal but disk change signal in SDCard ver.


Should I need to change signal when I use as PC FDD ?

no it's done by the software.
