			Note: Different firmware versions can be selected when starting the emulation. But since the Flash ROM contents are saved to MAME's nvram folder, the relevant nvram file needs to be removed before the selected firmware version gets activated.

			===== Updating the firmware =====

			Imagine we want to write the 2.40 version of the firmware to the flash rom. Start the emulation as follows: '''mame nms8245 -cartslot1 sunrise_ataide -flop1 sunride240 -hard1 ide.chd'''.

			To write a new firmware to the flash rom the IDE interface must not be in use. To do this start the emulation while pressing the INS key. Start the flashing program by entering: '''IDEFLOAD IDE240.DAT'''.

			[[file:Msx_sunride_flash_0.png]]

			Choose the interface to flash and press ENTER.

			[[file:Msx_sunride_flash_1.png]]

			The flash process will take a while to erase the flash and write the blocks.

			[[file:Msx_sunride_flash_2.png]]

			When the system is rebooted it should now display the updated version of the firmware.

			==== Sunrise IDE ====

			Sunrise released 2 version of their IDE interface one with a regular IDE connector and one with CF Card slots. Apart from the connectors the internal hardware, and firmware, functions the same way.

			The interface cartridge contains a Flash ROM which holds the firmware. This Flash ROM can be written from the MSX itself with a special tool, IDEFLOAD.

			The MSX system uses FAT12 so hard disk partitions are limited to max 32MB. MSX-DOS2 is built into the firmware.

			To create a 64MB harddisk image for multiple partitions using chdman:
			* '''chdman createhd -ss 512 -chs 1015,8,16 -c none -o ide.chd'''

			Start the emulation:
			* '''mame nms8245 -cartslot1 sunrise_ataide -flop1 sunride -hard1 ide.chd'''

			Since the harddisk image is still empty a dummy drive A will have been created and drive B will have used for accessing the floppy disk. To initialise the hard disk start the FDISK310 program.

			Press the A key to autogenerate a partition table. Press a key to dismiss the information text at the bottom of the screen

			Press the W key to write the partition table and the Y key to confirm. Press a key to dismiss the information text at the bottom of the screen.

			Press the I key to initialise the partitions and the Y key to confirm. Press a key to dismiss the information text of the bottom of the screen.

			Press the D key to display the partition table.

			Use the cursor keys to move to the first partition and press the B key to allow the MSX to boot from this partition. Press the Q key to go back to the main screen. Then press the W and Y keys to write the partition table again.

			Reset the MSX.

			Since the partitions have been initialised but contain no data yet this will boot into MSX-Basic. The above created CHD contains 2 partitions, which will have been assigned drive letters A and B. The floppy drive will have been assigned the drive letter C.
			Copy the contents to the hard disk by issuing the command '''COPY"C:."TO"A:."'''.
