New Firmware version for the SD HxC Floppy Emulator (Rev B/C/F/MAX) :

SDCard_HxCFloppyEmulator_firmware.zip

sd_hxc_floppy_emulator_firmware_release_notes.txt

Code :

25 February 2021: Firmware SD HxCFloppyEmulator v1.8.7.1 (beta)

     - "Config-Less" support : The HXCSDFE.CFG file is now optional.

       You can now use the emulator without this file on the SDCard.

       Note 1: Without this file the emulator is in "normal mode" / direct
               browsing mode.

       Note 2: Without this file the last selected file position is not saved.

       Reminder : You can setup the emulator with the embedded menu without
                  the need of any configuration file : 
                  To access this menu, remove the SDCard and press the select
                  button. Once in the menu you can choose the option you want 
                  to change.

     - System and hidden files and folders on the SDCard are now invisible on
       the emulator. You shouldn't be annoyed anymore by non-HxC folders and
       files on the emulator. :)

     - Image auto-load disabled when the user press the left or right button :
       -> Faster SDCard browsing, More consistent browsing behavior.
       (On this point if you prefer the old/previous behavior, don't hesitate
        to contact me to let me know : hxc2001 at hxc2001.com)
