EPROM ".BIN" file compatibility #16

Open zmixnyc opened 4 months ago

zmixnyc commented 4 months ago

.bin files are the universal standard for EPROM readers and burners. I have all the Synergy FW in that format, but the Synergia requires ".dat’ file format which appears top only exists on the groups.io Synergy group.

Is there a possibility of updating Synergia so that the .bin files can be used in Synergia directly?

I am running macOS Sonoma on an intel Mac.

PS: I have not tried re-naming the ‘bin’ to ‘.dat’ to see if that has any effect.

Hi Chuck,

Synergia ignores rom filenames, and instead recognizes them from their MD5 checksums. any luck if you simply copy the four 8192 byte rom files to ~/Library/Application Support/Synergia/roms folder ?

Synergy version 3.21 and 3.22 roms are supported, with the MD5 checksums below. pls PM me at jariseon - at - yahoo.com if it did not work out. unfortunately there are also non-rom related issues which i've been unable to resolve. those may prevent it from booting up. i should really decap my code.

roms321 = {
  "0b1570927f9b929438e021370e65466d",
  "98336749dcfbfdd5f5f22b7cb2493d55",

  "6be6d7a393c60d4133a27b46c75f2051"
};
roms322 = {
  "0b1570927f9b929438e021370e65466d",
  "98336749dcfbfdd5f5f22b7cb2493d55",

};

Hi Jari,

Thanks so much for the reply.

I have everything up and running (using the .dat files) and I suspect that the issue may have been due to the fact that I was trying to use the version 2.45 ROMS from the FB Synergy group)
