cemu2.07dAR-repack
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This repack changes how the keyfiles are saved to the floppy from a RAMdrive.
In the original version 2.07d, the keycommand "y" had to be pressed to save ALL the keyfiles at once, causing a desub or "Card Not Inserted" nag... but in this repack version, when using the config option "floppy 1", when a keyfile is updated, it writes the keyfile to the RAMdrive X: and immediately copies THAT ONE FILE to the floppy disk.
Works much better, and does not choke the program causing the nag or desub!
So, in your config file, set the options for bootdisk 1 and floppy 1, and watch as each keychange update is written to the floppy disk.
There are two great advantages to doing this for MS-DOS users:
1) You can take the disk to another PC and look at the current keys
2) If you pressed "v" to save your 102_EEProm while you have video, then you won't have to wait up to 10 minutes during a PC/IRD reboot to re-acquire video... the channels come in immediately! (As long as the keyfiles on the floppy are current.)
Enjoy!

****************************
DJGPP and CygWin compiles, but with MinGW the compile fails...
replace this file in the 2.07d-repack source when using MinGW and it will compile.
and yes, when using the MinGW Windows version and running from the hard drive, if you specify "floppy 1" in the config file with a floppy disk inserted, the program still writes the bins and keyfiles to the floppy.
