A tad stumped about st19 emu-Help!

[talinn_man39]

I have done probably too much reading. The How-tos in this forum mention all these patches which I haven't found (yet). What I think I understand is the making of the boot floppy with the latest st19.exe file and the rom and cor files, the latter of which I can change to my own bin containing private info (used gendt08 to marry cam to ird). (I've made a maxmel emu I am anxious to test with an aux 102 card.)

What I don't seem to understand is:
1. What is "dish.bin" or where does it come from?
2. Where do I find all those patches for my bn102, like
a) the 10c patch
b) the provider keys udates patches
c) What is that "patch.txt" used for in Joe's Real Aux zip?
d) what flash to use on the atmel chip? - the maxmel.hex in Joe's Real AUx zip or the 2-chip-CEMU-Rom102-10c_autoroll.exe.program.hex -- they're different sizes and one has too many extensions like it's for windows, not dos.

Quite confusing and I'm getting a headache.
Thanks for any help.

what flash to use on the atmel chip?

10bar.hex flash. it will work with ST19 and CEMU
.
Use the .bin from the file, just add your personnel files on it, it has all the patches on it.
.
.
Right now, dish is going to add a $9 pretty soon, the next day of so........
.
use the file I posted CEMU working with all the channels, you don't need you AUX.
And with until it over before using the AUX

Thanks for your response, smilingjack.
I forgot to mention it's for dn. Shouldn't the flash be a maxmel one?
So how do I patch the new emm9f, i.e. do I use the one for plastic and apply it in nagraedit to the cor bin?

It is a maxmel flash.. you write it to your 2313/8515 chip that you designed your maxmel board around. get it? MAX232 & atMEL 2313? MAXMEL? hahha.

you write the flash to the chip, install, connect to computer, make your bootdisk, load ST19XL.exe, a 96KB ST19.ROM file (from an N2 sim for example) your ST19.COR file (your 8kb ROM102 image that shouldn't have any blockers on it, good tier strings from the most up to date tier list you can find, be at REV 10C, include the $9F patch, and have current keys.. trust me, first time running you want to make SURE its not a software issue) with the autoexec.bat like this:

st19xl -a -m -w -s -t -pe(IRD PORT) -pa(Auxed card port)

thats it. enables all logging and timing stamps. you can toggle them with capital letters S and T.

It should see the aux as 1.23, and give you an ATR line. when you reset your IRD, it should come to and scroll INCREDIBLY FAST for 2-3 sec while it syncs up.. then a send or receive update once every second.. give it about 10 minutes and you should be up and going.. I think.

Just flash you CEMU with 10bar.hex flash. it will work with ST19 and CEMU

every program I post here for CEMU IS READY

public numbers

just run it, then you can worry about you personnel channels later
Better TV the no TV with your favorites channels
HHAHAHAHA

Thank you all for your answers. I will flash the atmel with 10bar.hex

I'm concerned about what happens to the 102 card in the iso. Does it get written to during emulation or just read? DN can't get thru to it to mess it up?

I'm trying to make sense of all the steps as to the rhyme/reaons for them. For instance, applying the perkys123 bin to the plastic does what or is for what exactly? ( If I understand the reasons for doing stuff, I will remember them more easily and perhaps apply my knowledge further.)
Thanks again.

Aux is safe

when you write aux to card, it allows the program to access the co-processors of the ST19 microprocessor.

[talinn_man39]

That's great that my aux is safe. Thank you for your quick response.

I can't find the 10bAR.hex flash, but I did find "N2_102_10C_full_2313_2chip.hex". The creation date was Oct. 13. ( I can't remember when rev10c began, if in fact the "10c" in the file name refers to revision. Or is it the type of 2313 chip like AT90S2313-10PC.)

DO you think the RAMDrive boot disk by Hack Kid is ok? His bat file includes this command line:

st19xl.exe /a /m /o /s /w st19.cor,

which I figure is allowing the st19.cor to be written to in RAM. (I knew dos pretty well in the past and it's slowly coming back to me.) I realize that access time is faster with a ram drive setup and I'm using a P2-450 comp.
What do yas think? Anyone got this type of setup working?

[ruciz]

do not use ramdrive with ST.
it takes longer to start the program up, as it has to create the folder.
its not needed as ST is only 100kb big.
your cor files will not be updated as it is saved in ram, and not on your hard disk.

that flash should work. any flash will work. you can write a rom102 rev 240 to the chip, and it will work on dishnet..
ST19 only needs about a 200MHz comp with 32MB ram to work in DOS mode.. your 450 is plenty.

[talinn_man39]

The hack kid boot disk has a "save.bat" you can implement to save from ram to floppy.
@echo off

echo Once complete st19.cor on

echo streaming. Are you sure?

echo Performing Save Operation....
del a:\st19old.cor
ren a:\st19.cor st19old.cor

echo Saving Complete. st19.cor from RAM is now on Floppy.
I don't know. Is there a particular reason why you say do not use ram drive with ST that I obviously don't know about?
Thanks

edit: So it just takes longer to start up with ram drive, you say. But this approach may/will keep the working cor up to date including keys and mecm's?
