1.1.1
f7b269a

amigaXfer, an easy-to-use GUI tool for lightning fast disk/file transfers on the serial port with the Amiga.

Binaries should work on Windows 7 or higher, 32bit or 64bit. Any Amiga that has a Serial Port is supported; Kickstart 34/37/39/40/45/46/47 tested.

Read the README.txt in the archive for multiple methods of entry to the Amiga ROM debugger.

If doing the floppyless bootstrap process, as a free and open source alternative to Workbench disks, Nico Bendlin's HelloAmi will boot all the way up to Workbench. He kindly enabled the Workbench's debug menu on my request, which involved some research work on his end.

Changes

  • SetupDialog
    • Detect missing m68k objects.
    • Better UX on connection issues.
  • Bootblock Tool
    • New bootblocks:
      • exitstrap is a hack to actually exit strap's init routine.
      • warmdos is exitstrap + start dos via WarmCapture(). A curiosity.
  • DOS Tool (preview)
    • BUGFIX: Fixed crash with AmigaOS 2.x and setpatch.
    • File transfers can now be interrupted.
  • Improved log output.

Thanks to Ralf Hoffmann for AmigaOS 2.x issue report and testing fix and Daniel Doran for pre-release testing.

For other systems, use source code. The dependencies are python 3.8+, pyserial and wxpython. For the 68000 code, it is possible to just copy the built objects from the Windows archive. Else, vasm or phxass will build them.

Note that the assembler files have changed. Current objects are needed for the new library function calling mechanism (related to the fix for the setpatch issue with AmigaOS 2 mentioned above). Re-copy or rebuild.

CAREFUL THAT NEWER VERSIONS ARE AVAILABLE. Anyone linking here: Please link the releases page instead of a specific release.
