Dear Swat

1- can you change the scrolling of the game list in Iso loader APP, back it like the RC1 [Page 1 of 1,2,3,,,, etc]
Iso loader ver 0.5.0 => joystick x + analog scrolling. Tiring if there is a lot of Games.

2- can fix the game name if longer title, can't show full game name title for example :-
If you have game name like this:-
Kiss Psycho Circus - The Nightmare Child [PAL]
It will be like this in Iso loader
Kiss Psycho Cir

1. Just group the games to subdirectories, because I'm not sure what the pagination can really improve situation. When the games really a lot, better group them than flipping all list.
2. I can do it, but the font size will be smaller. And I get title from IP.BIN, this has only 32 symbols for it, so what "Kiss Psycho Circus - The Nightmare Child" not show full in any case.

its same problem with xbox skins but i solved it with this below code when i select the game the title moving from the right to the left

<Menu Smooth="TRUE" Align="LEFT" Rotate="false" ShowIcon="false">

It's not possible to fully fix, because IP.BIN has only 32 bytes for this info, so the title can be no more 32 symbols in general. Full title is simply there is not in IP.BIN in your case.
But you can little improve it (little more symbols to display) if you change the font to "arial" for this label - https://github.com/DC-SWAT/DreamShell/blob/master/applications/iso_loader/app.xml?ts=4#L170

But sure it's not worth do it.

one more thing can i booting dreamshell from HDD ? without SD card ?
I have bios mod with [sd_loader_with.bios] firmware


RE: Iso loader Note - SWAT - 18.09.2014 18:55

For now only sd_loader_with.bios can pass Holly BIOS protection and keep enabled IDE interface.

DC check the BIOS and if it has *not right* checksum then IDE interface will disabled by hardware. This is console protection.

1. It's a WinCE game and then use MMU (not supported yet).
2. Yes this game has problems and I still don't know the reason.
3. You mean hot swap?

I still don't know what you mean about IDE interface Sad , My hdd running with console power on first time

about #3
I should remove the Memory card from the controller before powering on for running the game Smile


RE: Iso loader Note - SWAT - 19.09.2014 07:55

Your HDD connected to IDE interface, without it HDD can't work.

3. Really strange, thanks for report.

есть похожая проблема как автора темы ,в русских темах чего то не нашел ,если есть тема и решение ткните

при большом списке игр пролистать список и поймать нужную папку очень проблематично,сумасшедшая скорость даже при легком нажатии ,есть ли возможность модифицировать настройки iso loader что бы список пролистывался пошагово относительно статичного курсора (курсор стоит в середине списка ,а стрелками d-pad листается список) ,либо например по d-pad проматывался далее вниз или вверх ,как например в том же проводнике или тотал командер при пролистывании стрелками клавиатуры .
создавать кучу дополнительных папок тоже не охота ...


RE: Iso loader Note - SWAT - 26.05.2016 10:22

Нет таких настроек. Разделяй большой список на группы просто. По алфавиту или по жанру.
