ISO Loader 0.8.x Beta + preview of DreamShell v4.0 RC 5

[fafadou]

My turn to do some tests :

Toy commander that don't run with previous version (the version before vmu emulator, I didn't have time to download the first version with vmu emulator).
And now run well, with a little crash until loop ! IRQ lower memory true dma, tmu2 for cdda

Kao the kangaroo : cdda still crash during intro and if I skip it, I'm not able to start a game. Works with beta 10 without loop adding.
Maybe a good game to test for improving cdda ?

The flinstones rock las vegas : Freeze after langage selection. Works with beta 10 without loop adding.

Spec ops II : unable to boot the game. Works with beta 10 without loop adding.

4 wheel thunder : works perfectly no distorsion in cdda and loops well

sega rally 2 : black screen run with 0.6 loader but still play the same cdda track, never boot with dreamshell RC5

skies of arcadia : freeze during intro when luna's animal is blinking like gdemu clone, was good with 0.6.11_se.

sturmwind : black screen at intro. Run until I start a game with 0.8.10 beta ; maybe the loader try to start the cdda and the game crashes ?

Revolt : runs well as always ! little distorsion until loop.

Shadow gangs : black screen, probably I didn't find the good preset.

shenmue II : just for pleasure ^^ there are two cdda tracks for yu suszuki logo and am2 on the first disc : black screen, but not a big deal if it's never play those cdda.

Else :
- Now when we select ide folder in iso loader menu, it's faster, a little "freeze" until this version.
- unable to boot any .iso "alone", only gdi optimized with
- no reboot anymore during game selection

@megavolt what's your preset for 4x4 evo ? do you have activated the cdda ?

@Swat : do you want I test some games in particular ?
Xtrem sports and quake 3 are still o with this version ? Must boot with IP.BIN.

Oh thanks for all those improvements !!! Very exciting like the vmu emulation.
