I'll be getting a replacement for the Transcend CF as it was still under warranty so I'll be able to test again with that soon. Would love to get the Sandisk fully working though as it's a more reliable brand.

I wouldn't rush it. There is definitely some other difference in compatibility among those who are testing.
But there is a possibility that some devices process command aborting differently.
In low-level works on this CF?

In this case, the behavior of devices is indeed different when the command is aborted. I’m not sure that this can be fixed, it’s usually not used like that, this is exactly the case of DC.

We'll still have the 0.6.11_se loader, not a big deal.
It's maybe due to disc rotation that the games boot haha.

(18.12.2023 20:05)fafadou писал(а):  Just an idea, if you remove the sq functions, a lite loader may manage cdda dma for UT ?

For what you still need this loader?

Have no idea yet. I'd be glad.

(20.12.2023 14:47)fafadou писал(а):  Just because the actual 0.8 doesn't boot atomiswave and tom jam &earl 3, ooga booga, 2k series etc on my system for now. For those games pack (TJ&E etc...) it's maybe due to my CF card size at 128Go. If I remember well you are using a smaller one, it's maybe the issue. We know the best sd card for gdemu is not beyond 32Go.

I'm also waiting for the sata to ide converter that @Crismod mentioned, we'll see if it's more compatible.

On discord forum, you correcting me when I said that dreamshell doesn't read .cdi and .bin, did you think about 0.6.1 loader ? It was a terrible efficient one too, reading atomiswave, most of wince games, and cdda TMU 2 has no distorsions even if the cdda loop was not include. Yeah I keep it in mind, even if it's not compatible with RC5 the last time I tried it.
You work so hard on loaders, it's normal there are some fantastic ones that complete the last wonderful release

It's one of dreamshell strength, every user can selected is stuff, nowhere we can see that

All these games that you listed working fine for me, including Atomiswave.
Also @megavolt85 tested these games on IDE HDD and it's fine too.

(22.12.2023 13:03)SWAT писал(а):  The loader 0.6.1 doesn't have IRQ support so they uses more memory for CDDA buffer, high memory btw in fixed place. But I think I understand what you mean, because I implemented the heap so we could lose some good cases. If the game cleanup the memory at startup and we should use high memory for CDDA for example. If the heap placed in high memory and game reset this memory, so the loader is dead too, and doesn't matter if binary is untouched, in the heap stored all the states. Hmm I'll think about this situation.
