increase size of bootloader

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

Hi,
Is there a limit in CE when building a bootloader image?
Currently I have a 128K setting and I want to increase it to 256K.
If the compiled code is over 128K, I will not get a .nb0 file and
my .bin file size is 0. If the compiled code is under 128K, then my .nb0
will be 256K(because of
the ROMSIZE statement is set to 40000).
I don't believe there is a limit, but what could be wrong.
Below is the loader.bib setting(for both):
I'm using 4.2

Nevermind, I make a stupid mistake. it does work. I used the wrong set of
setting. there is some IF ... in there.
