Oh, that's interesting. I'll change the code on our end so that it makes everything (manifest and filenames) uppercase, that should account for the problem in the future.

I was thinking perhaps the web emulator could do that too, make everything uppercase that is passed into the emulators host filesystem.  I am not 100% sure though if that is the right thing to do.

On https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-emulator about the Host Filesystem Interface it says:

To avoid incompatibility problems between the PETSCII and ASCII encodings, use lower case filenames on the host side, and unshifted filenames on the X16 side.

 

Ah, lower case then! Same result, hopefully. I'm testing it now ...

Hm, this is a conundrum. File names and manifest entries are all lower case now, but it's still not working.

Ah, I should've guessed it would be case sensitivity. Silly me, running on Windows, where the filesystem's made up and the cases don't matter. ?

Is the emulator doing any case-shifting when the hook for loading files extracts the filename?

I popped open the emulator source and it looks like "no", which means it's my fault, in my assembly source I'm specifying filenames in upper-case ASCII, which isn't going to map to unshifted PETSCII. My b. Let me make a new release and see if that fixes things.

Edit: Perfect. All fixed up.

Looking fantastic now!
