I use a IDE to SATA adapter. I use StarTech.com IDE to SATA adapter. . It use Maxwell chip 88SA8052. Also I have PIN 1 remove as is only way to let me boot dreamshell. I attach picture of error.

I just want to update this. I tested with a mechanical SATA HDD with 0.7.x loader and it worked! Why does 0.7.x loader not like my SSD? SSD works with other loaders. Is anybody else having issues like this?

EDIT 1: Just tried with different SSD and it worked! Maybe ADATA use different controller on SSD than Crucial?? I will just use Crucial. Thanks Megavolt85 great loader!!!!

uglybuddy6 your SSD means it is made with violation of the ATA specifications

When I try and load a game, it will always ask for disc 2, even if I'm already using disc 2. With the old loader, I can start a new game but it will just freeze at "Loading...".

This happened to me too: new game disabled

Cheers Megavolt! I've just moved over from an SD card to IDE and this is amazing. I can't believe how smoothly games like MSR work. I have a couple of questions:

1) I have a load of shortcut apps I created to load games from the desktop. Obviously I'll have to update the location and the memory address, but will 0.7 ignore the flags used by the earlier loaders (async, DMA) or should I completely remove those as well? Do I need to add anything else to load 0.7 from the command line?

2) has anyone had any issues with cosmic smash and 18 wheeler? Cosmic Smash hangs at "initialising ide.. " while 18 wheeler gets all the way through to the end of the briefing then collapses to a black screen for me.

1) async, DMA ignored, recommended memory address 0x8CE00000
2) what writed on screen "initialising ide.. " ? what is HDD you use, IDE, SATA, CF?

Sorry should have said! It's a Kingston 250gb sata running through the red startech converter board. The file is the replayers GDI put through the optimiser script. I've attached where it gets stuck.
