Changelog
- v1.22026-11-08
- The romset can live in any folder of the card. The game looks in .roms/, then roms/, then searches the whole card, and remembers where it found it (.conf/<romset>.loc), so the next start goes straight there; if it is moved, it is searched for again.
- Settings go in .conf/ and romsets in .roms/: the UVMC2's menu hides folders whose name starts with a dot, so the card shows only the games. A card set up before keeps everything: the old config/ and roms/ are still read, and nothing is written to them any more.
- Without the romset on the card the screen says ROM FILE NOT FOUND and the name of the zip it wants.
- v1.12026-11-06
- Built with uvmc2-sdk v1.4.13: the Vectrex Studio intro card before the game, its jingle read off the card (VSJINGLE.BIN, at the card's root, is in the zip; without it the card is silent), and the newer SDK's frame filler.
