Configuration
=============
Set Number of the M4 ROM
------------------------
The number of the M4 ROM is hardcoded and set to 6. That was defined by Duke at the beginning. So we keep it :-)
This M4-ROM number is located in FutureOS ROM C at address &FEFE.
If you have your M4 ROM currently on another number you need to change it to 6 in your M4 expansion.
Or you can change it in the FutureOS Cartridge according to the M4-ROM position in your M4 :-)
Inside the .CPR image the M4-ROM number is located at address &FF2A!

Example: Your M4 ROM is currently set to number 5 then do the following:
--------
 - Load the CPR file using an HEX editor
 - Go to address &FF2A
 - Change the Byte (inside the CPR at &FF2A) from &06 to &05
 - Save the CPR file
 - Enjoy! :-)

M4 expansion connected or not
-----------------------------
To tell FutureOS the the SD-card of the M4 is accessible (M4 is there) the 
configuration byte (KF_MED) need the have the highest bit (Bit 7) to be set!
If the 8. Bit of (KF_MED) is not set, then no M4 expansion is there!
The ROM copy of configuration byte KF_MED (&B96E) is located in ROM C at &FEEA
Inside the Cartridge binary file this is at address &00FEEA
If you change this bit, then please also change the checksum bit too :-)

If you have the M4 expansion connected, please use:
- FPP-DEU-M4.CPR
- FPP-ENG-M4.CPR
- FPP-ESP-M4.CPR
- FPP-FRA-M4.CPR

If you have NO M4 expansion, please use:
- FPP-DEU.CPR
- FPP-ENG.CPR
- FPP-ESP.CPR
- FPP-FRA.CPR

Wallpapers
----------
The wallpapers can be automatically activated by changeing the setup bits of the Wallpaper XROM.
This is a bit more complicated, because there are savety bits. See X-ROM documentation or contact TFM.
--- Any kind of help will be provided :-) ---
