[Coco] VCC Update

>Hey David ... it can actually take a DLL *OR* a ROM file. If you load a program PAK ROM file directly from the Cartridge | Cartrige drop down menu,  what happens is the MPI functionality goes away and all you have is whatever ROM you loaded booting on power-up. To get the MPI back, you have to load the MPI.DLL from that same drop-down menu.  Then you can load each slot pak the same way ...

Yes I know
The idea is that in any cartridge entry (or NMI) you can choose between * .rom, * .dll, * .pak and * .ccc
Review what happens from NMI
I'm just starting to review, and catch up, I do not even know how to handle the project, and I do not want to do anything wrong, or sinpermiso community, but make some changes and ask if this is the way, because as I understood it Bill piece (sometimes I do not understand English well) I think he wants to wait and not make changes until he has a tool to compile cross and so can run VCC on several systems.

I think that once put in C or C ++ or C # and can of migrated to several systems, with minimal interface changes

But I just got here and I'm not an expert

Hey David ... it can actually take a DLL *OR* a ROM file. If you load a program PAK ROM file directly from the Cartridge | Cartrige drop down menu,  what happens is the MPI functionality goes away and all you have is whatever ROM you loaded booting on power-up. To get the MPI back, you have to load the MPI.DLL from that same drop-down menu.  Then you can load each slot pak the same way ...

Which, after checking that, I just realized on my current development the MPI slots insert menu item does not bring up the select file dialog.  Will have to look into why.
