Refs were file offsets of help text and RTTI names. They now name the ROM directory scan, the ROM slot loader with its AMSDOS header test and the cartridge loader in Caprice.exe 26.4. The built-in ROMs are RCDATA resources and cartridges come from a file dialog.

54c9f7f3df96011bdbd09e72413fed798a395c241e8c2d05eb6af075a15b79b4, release
|
|
26.4 of 1 April 2026 (History.txt, version resource 26.4.0.0). Caprice.exe
|
|
md5 a33e841c80e9fd9067a1c373492cd53b is a 32-bit C++Builder (RAD Studio
|
|
28.0) VCL program, cited by virtual address. Functions are named by their
|
|
address, or by the published method table entry for form event handlers.
|
|
|
|
The machine ROMs are RT_RCDATA resources of the executable, byte for byte
|
|
equal to the usual dumps: ROMCPC464_UK, ROMCPC664_UK and ROMCPC6128_UK (OS
|
|
then BASIC, 32 KiB each), French and Spanish 464 and 6128 images,
|
|
ROMAmsdos, ROMSiliconDisk13, ROMDKSpeech, and ROMMultiface2 (the first 8 KiB
|
|
of MF2.rom). A slot left blank in a device file takes the built-in image,
|
|
and the names "Default OS", "Default BASIC", "Default AMSDOS", "Default
|
|
Multiface Two", "Default Silicon Disc 1.3" and "Default DK'Tronics Speech"
|
|
select them explicitly.

RetroBat writes Device.ini on every launch: CPC_6128_UK, or PLUS_6128_UK for
|
|
the gx4000 system, LowerROM and UpperROM0 blank, UpperROM7 "Default
|
|
AMSDOS", UpperROM1 a built-in Silicon Disc or DK'Tronics image or Empty, and
|
|
CartridgeFilename the launched .cpr. No slot it writes names a file, so
|
|
nothing outside the program is read for a RetroBat launch.
|
|
ref: emulatorLauncher Generators/CapriceForever.Generator.cs:277-405
|
|
|
|
Files of 1 to 16512 bytes in RomsDirectory (Roms\ by default) are offered
|
|
by name for the lower and upper ROM slots. A slot file whose first 128
|
|
bytes are an AMSDOS header with a valid checksum is read from offset 128
|
|
for its declared length, at most 16 KiB, and any other file is used as is.
|
|
A missing file is skipped and nothing is copied into the slot. The cartridge is
|
|
chosen through an open dialog filtered on *.cpr, and a CartridgeFilename
|
|
without a directory is looked up in CartridgesDirectory (Cartridges\ by
|
|
default). A RIFF AMS! file is split by its cb chunks into 16 KiB banks,
|
|
any other file into consecutive 16 KiB banks. The package ships four ROMs
|
|
and three PLUS system cartridges there. Only the bundled device template
|
|
"PLUS 6128 UK.ini" names one of them (the UK cartridge), and RetroBat
|
|
replaces that choice with the launched game.
