Some experience feedback on the T32 recent release.
Setup: european Dreamcast, SD Card reader via Serial Port
++ ISOloader menu supports sound track during menu! Only a few games seem to have sound tracks, but those that do work great.
-- Trying to reach the "Settings" menu (button B) on titles with sound tracks results in an instant crash.
+ There is no such problem on titles without sound track
-- Going into and then out of ISOLoader results in the cursor no longer working in DreamShell.

Thanks for testing. I'll see what's there.

Here is a small review in Spanish about this ISO loader update.

Just a fast look :
The cdda is a little better in game
The flinstone doesn't boot now for me.
Same issue with wince games obviously because no update for this DS package.
The cdda feature for isoloader software is beyond my expectation, simply fabulous and full of vibes when you select a game. Even the games that don't boot because I'll try to build the gdi by myself have the feature ! Is it possible to add a kind of wav or raw in a no cdda game folder in order to have music in isoloader ?
Do you have learn something more for cdda in game during this work for kallistios ?

Yeah just put track04.raw (or wav), track05.raw, track06.wav, etc and enjoy.
ISO Loader randomly select first 15 audio tracks from 04 to 19. Doesn't matter this tracks used by game or not.

I brought there what I did in the loader. But some idea was nevertheless received in return.

@SWAT Got a question for you. Not sure if you've already answered this before but what are your goals for ISO Loader 1.0? Just curious what you want to accomplish. :-)

v1.0 desired goals:
- Runs 99.9% of games on IDE.
- The loader firmware structure has been redesigned into separate syscalls and components.
- A part of boot settings have been removed as unnecessary.
And then more and more new cool features and the new app
RE: ISO Loader 0.8.x Beta + preview of DreamShell v4.0 RC 5 - fafadou - 16.11.2023 12:24
This is awesome !
Hope you'll can achieve all of this

Just found out something regarding Rent-A-Hero today. There's a game breaking bug if you try and play it with Loader 0.6. When turning in your mission after saving Ultrasalaryman's family (one of the last missions in the game), the game will just hang forever. Good news is the bug doesn't occur with 0.8. :-)
RE: ISO Loader 0.8.x Beta + preview of DreamShell v4.0 RC 5 - fafadou - 17.11.2023 03:08
Which version of 0.6 did you use exactly please ?

0.6.1
RE: ISO Loader 0.8.x Beta + preview of DreamShell v4.0 RC 5 - SWAT - 17.11.2023 16:15
New build: https://github.com/DC-SWAT/DreamShell/releases/tag/v4.0.0RC5-T33
- Fixed all known bugs for ISO Loader application (crashes, presets, shortcuts).
- Minor cache update for ISO Loader firmware.
RE: ISO Loader 0.8.x Beta + preview of DreamShell v4.0 RC 5 - fafadou - 17.11.2023 16:22
Oh already an update, great
RE: ISO Loader 0.8.x Beta + preview of DreamShell v4.0 RC 5 - segatxdc - 18.11.2023 13:34
It would be nice to add a cheat function
RE: ISO Loader 0.8.x Beta + preview of DreamShell v4.0 RC 5 - fafadou - 18.11.2023 14:48
For me, you Can already add your code breaker code in iso loader.
RE: ISO Loader 0.8.x Beta + preview of DreamShell v4.0 RC 5 - pcwzrd13 - 19.11.2023 22:10
Did some testing with the new loader. Not seeing any major differences with the games that didn't work before but I like the CDDA playback in the menu.
As far as the UI for the ISO Loader is concerned, it'd be great to have it navigable without the cursor. Similar to how RetroDream works. Would that be difficult to do @SWAT? Unfortunately I'm not sure cpasjuste is going to continue development of RetroDream so it would be great if you could take some ideas from him to improve the UI.

From my side :
the flinstones come back to life
Still no atomiswave games running
I could finish homebrew zia, the cdda qualtity is at least the same quality maybe a little more.
RE: ISO Loader 0.8.x Beta + preview of DreamShell v4.0 RC 5 - fafadou - 21.11.2023 02:07
I'd tried heart of the alien made by @Megavolt85 run with true dma low memory, no cdda (I guess the track04.raw is not a cdda track).
The only issue is when I push start for activate the password menu, the game restart. Else everything perfect and I love the dreamon menu.

Nothing changed for games, just maybe a bit faster for SD loader because it uses cache purging, that a bit improved in this build.
Most changes for ISO Loader application, bug fixes.

I knew that no one uses this except me, but this functionality has been there for a long time:
