[FR] Flush changes to disk menu button #104

Open randyrossi opened 4 years ago

randyrossi commented 4 years ago

Menu item to flush pending changes to disk instead of having to unmount the disk.

Could also "flush" mounted Easyflash cartridges. Would ideally be both mappable to a keycombo, controller key or GPIO pin (could have a flush button on the NesPi case I use rather than Reset).

Manual flushing of EF cartridges already has a menu option (though no shortcuts as you describe).

Just wanted to give this a lift for the 3.6 release cycle. A rapid flush (for both all disks and the loaded cartridge) that can be mapped to a Gamepad button or a key combo (or the so far unused F9/F10 and more keys on a USB keyboard) would be highly appreciated! Thanks!

Even better would be if this was somehow automated (after any disk write access?). I've done some ML coding using BMC64 with Turbo Macro Pro and a few times I've forgotten to detach the disk before turning it off and lost my code. Even a shortcut/hotkey will be easy to forget when everything otherwise appears to behave normally (i.e. my saved file shows up in a disk listing). Awesome project by the way!

Good morning. After finally converting my THEC64 (Maxi) into a BMC64 only machine I'd really would like to have a "flush" shortcut and in the best of all possible worlds, one that I could map to GPIO16 (where I put the original power button) so that I could simply flush disks AND easyflash with a press of the side button. Hope you find the energy and time to give BMC a (final?) makeover. Thank you for all the work, Boris

I too just converted my Maxi! :) Being a noob to BMC64, now I know why all my saves never saved! I had no idea I had to detach a disk for the writes to occur so I thought this was a big. CTRL+F3 mapping for now.

I know you are not actively maintaining BMC64 currently, but if anybody could code/build the logic to have one "flush all drives and all cartridges" function that can be mapped to a key or GPIO, I would be extremely happy. It's just UI, all the pieces are there... (yeah, easy for me to say but I can't build this myself).
