One caveat to the above. I have noticed an issue with the vDriveZX cache causing issues if you switch one image to another. If you have a working sd card set up as above and then copy another image mdr to it and want to switch it to vdrive 1 to run it, the procedure is: make sure toolkit is loaded t...

Is there an easier way to transfer other than using Trans Express? Should have looked at the DEMO cartridge, answered my own question with the *MOVE additional command on it :D Great little option as you can transfer from any microdrive number to any other unlike Trans Express as that will only cop...

Successfully used Trans Express to copy from the VDriveZX to the the original GAMES cartridge in a traditional microdrive.

I now have a restored cartridge, that would not CAT before

Is there an easier way to transfer other than using Trans Express?

Oh and I've made a BUSINESS one too

The simplest way that I've found to get an mdr working on a vDrive is as follows: New blank formatted SD card Copy mdr into root of SD card, I always use an 8 character filename, just makes things easy. You can create a folder, but it's not necessary especially if you are just loading one mdr image ...

And now it does not work agsin. This is doing my head in lol

EDIT:

Doh! was using one of the duff mdr's The one I have now works

OK success this eveming. Not sure where I got it from, but I've got a working games cartridge image if anyone wants it. It's also worth noting that the business cart image from the link above also does not work for me, menu runs but tasword fails to load Now to fire up Trans Express and see if I can...

Did you get anywhere with this? I have a Games cartridge that will not CAT. I'd like to reformat it and load a working mdr from a VDriveZX to it..... Hi, I have just built a couple of Tom's excellent ZX PICO Microdrive's (see https://github.com/TomDDG/ZXPicoMD for more info), he has links to the Ga...

One question, how do you copy the mdr image from the VDriveZX to a real microdrive?

I’ve got things mostly working. I started again, initialised the sd card, created a folder, created a blank image, assigned it to vdrive 1 and then manually saved the colour version of the 3D monster maze onto drive 1. It ran fine and continued to work even after removing the sd card, powering down ...

I have approached Charlie about this, but can anyone else advise: I have a vDrive, I follow the manual, initialise the SD card, create an image, assign it to vdrive 1,format it, can be seen when doing CAT. I have even modified the basic on the 3D Monster Maze port so that it will save onto drive 1 o...
