On page: https://github.com/lgblgblgb/xemu/wiki/MEGA65-ROM-%22how-to-get-it%22-tutorial-for-Xemu

At the bottom of the page:

Right click into the running emulator window, select the "SD-card" menu, and the "Update files on the SD image" sub-menu. You will be prompted for the ROM, so you need to select it. Xemu will update the SD-card image for you. At this point, if you encounter any problem after the update, you can try to exit Xemu and re-start, though in newer Xemu versions this shouldn't be an issue.

Right click into the running emulator window, select the menu item "Disks" > "SD-card" > "Update files on SD image".

Just a minor correction to the correct menu path and perhaps easier wording.


2nd Minor correction:

On page: https://github.com/lgblgblgb/xemu/wiki/VIC-IV

the link: https://github.com/MEGA65/mega65-core/blob/master/doc/viciv-modes.md

should be https://github.com/MEGA65/mega65-core/blob/master/docs/viciv-modes.md

:) Thanks for your amazing work!!

lgblgblgb commented 2 years ago

Yes indeed, thanks! This is because it was written when the menu was different. So actually it is (well, was ...) correct just outdated since a while ;) I'm afraid there is lots of outdated info everywhere, I should take my time (just need to find that time ...) to read my blah-blah pages everywhere and correct outdated information.

Suggested change (with some other info) has been committed into the wiki git repository. Should be visible for now, or soon (depends on github ....).

mindrail commented 2 years ago

That's all good, I know it can be hard finding the time! Happy to have a look through some more of the wiki if I get a chance.

Dont forget the "2nd minor change" for the VIC IV link further down in that issue :)

lgblgblgb commented 2 years ago

OMG. Thanks for mentioning, I haven't even noticed till now that you have more things in this issue ... I really think, that I should delete that (and those kind of) page. Totally pointless, especially if you see the date, about 6 years old (from 2016) ... I guess it was made when I was writing the very first versions of MEGA65 emulation and I used wiki as a kind of "notebook" for mainly myself ...

Some obsoleted pages have been removed including VIC-IV. Really it was from time where there was no decent documentation too much, now we have "the book", several others etc, these kind of random pages from me are kinda confusing even containing incomplete and now obsoleted information which hurts more than helps ...
