How to update the EasyFlash3 menu
This chapter describes how to update the EasyFlash3 software. The EasyFlash3 software consists of the EF3 menu and built it EasyProg. It is saved in EF3 cartridge's System Area (EasyFlash Slot 0). The software can be updated without erasing any existing EasyFlash, KERNAL or freezer cartridge slots.
There are two images you can use to update the menu:
ef3-menu.crt
This image contains:
- The menu
- EasyProg
This is the file you should use to update an existing cartridge which has already software on it.
ef3-init.crt
This image contains:
- The menu
- EasyProg
- Example KERNALs
- A directory which contains the KERNALs but is empty otherwise
This is the file you should use to initialize a new EasyFlash 3. If your System Area got erased or overwritten, you can use this image to repair it.
How to write a Menu Image to Flash
Use EasyProg to write ef3-menu.crt or ef3-init.crt. Select Slot 0, confirm the warning message and select the file. See Write a CRT to EF/EF3 with EasyProg.
In case the EF3 menu is not accessible (e.g. the System Area has been erased), EasyProg can be loaded from a disk drive.
