Remember that the tool you use (if not using CodeWarrior) to transfer data from the PC to the Yaroze is called SIOCONS and should be in your PSX\BIN directory. SIOCONS uses a batch file to tell it what file to get from your PC's HDD and where to stick it in Yaroze RAM. So... 1) Make sure that SIOCONS runs. Type "siocons" in a DOS prompt window. After pressing Enter a couple of times, you should get a ">>" prompt. That's your cue that you're talking to Yaroze---yes, the Yaroze sends back terminal chars. That's also why you should have the ANSI.SYS loaded in your CONFIG.SYS file. Exit SIOCONS. 2) Make sure that you have a batch file around. Not the DOS batch file, but the SIOCONS batch file. They usually go with names like "auto" or "auto.sio", or something like that. At least one line in the batch file should look like: local dload
e.g. local dload mytim.tim 800f8000 Remember that the addresses are 8 HEX digits in length without that "0x" stuff at the front. (In C, you have to tell the computer you're using a hex number by telling it 0x800f8000.) 3) Make sure that the mytim.tim (or whatever your TIM file is called) exists in the current directory. Chances are, your TIM file will be in the same directory as the code file (which may be something ".PSX", ".PSE"....). OK. That's the setup. That makes sure that everything's in their right place. Now, just run: siocons auto (If your batch file isn't named "auto", substitute it there.) You should see stuff in the DOS window about how it's downloading stuff from the PC to the Yaroze, and your Yaroze should show you on your TV pretty much the same---there's a little more info like the checksum... Try this, and if you still need help, reply to this thread. - e! -- Mata ne, ... ... - e! ::' tenchi@shell.jps.net ':: (Protocol) :: ACiD -/- ACS -/- pHluid -/- Yaroze -/- Nemesis :: (Tenchikun) ::. http://www.jps.net/tenchi .:: ''' '''
