I think the issue is that you didn't set any serial port in the preferences. As improvement the USB send button should be disabled in that case. Will have it in mind for future releases. Try to go to the settings and in the Loader tab choose the serial port that matches your connected dandanator:

Once the serial port is set, you should be able to use the USB send functionality. Take into account that no action is needed to upload a standard romset. The procedure is controlled by the CPC computer.

Hey Manuel,

in this instance the serial port was set and checked.

On V2.4 I’m unable to flash the rom. V2.3 gets as far as the first block but more often than not 2.3 crashes when switching to the eeprom screen.

That is weird. The only reason for the application to crash at that point is that the serial port is not defined. Take into account that the serial port is opened/closed when you enter/leave the eeprom screen, so don't leave that screen while the programming is taking place. The procedure to upload a new romset should be:

Define the serial port in the preferences
Load the games you want in the main screen
Go to the eeprom screen
Start the programming operation from the CPC

That's the issue I'm facing, on v2.4 the Dandanator doesn't seem to recognise the first block and crashes. On 2.3 it writes the first block but then sits in a holding state.

I'll try and do a screen cap to show what is happening.

2.4 Doesn't want to flash on Windows 10 or macOS.

Doesn't move from this point forward (2.3) - 2.4 Doesn't get this far!

Dandanator - 1

Can you please tell me what dandanator hardware are you using? In your log from 2.3, I think you are trying to perform a rescue operation but the game list is empty. Try to add first at least one game to the list and then proceed with the rescue procedure, otherwise the generator won't be able to generate and send a valid romset when the rescue starts. Your log from 2.4 is weird, seems that the CPC is asking again and again for the same block, what makes me think you could have some hardware issue. Were you ever able to upload romsets to that dandanator unit using the generator?

Hey, I am using a Dandanator Mini V1.3b.

I've contacted the person that supplied me the hardware and he's reflashed the ROM using a PIC Programmer and again tested transmission using USB Cable and 2.4 of the program without issue. Though he was using Windows 10.

I am waiting the return of the unit to retry, but seems odd that using two macOS Catalina and El Capitan, and my windows 10 machine on 21H1 release were unable to successfully send anything to the same unit.

Dandanator - 1 (1)

That board is incomplete. It's lacking the oscillator that makes the USB chip work (12MHz crystal) and the 22pF capacitors (C1 and C3). There is NO WAY this could communicate using USB. Please, finish the board first.

Response back from the Board Developer:

Hi Jason, the board is complete but the reason for the confusion is this. There are a few versions of the CH340 serial chip. The original design used a CH340G chip that needs the capacitors and crystal. I fitted these with a CH340C where those parts are internal to the chip soo those parts aren't fitted, The two chips are otherwise identical.

I think the fact that I'm able to read what's on the Dandanator proves that a serial connection is correctly made, the software just won't allow an update without exceptions.
