DreamShell BIOS won't detect G1-ATA devices properly - thedoctor45 - 11.07.2017 19:00
I've recently installed a custom BIOS chip and flashed it with the DreamShell Bootloader ROM and now whenever I boot up the console and skip the intro animation too fast it does not detect any G1-ATA devices and just hangs. Is this a common problem or is there something wrong on my end?
If I let the intro animation play for a few seconds the IDE devices are detected properly btw.
EDIT: Seems like it's a problem with the CF card I'm using - it's a 256 GB card so that might explain why the detection process takes a while.

Yes, need little delay for detection. Different devices have different delay.

May you could tell us about your developpement progress for the next version of isoloader (0.6.5)? Perhaps a new little video will be released ?
Anything will be welcome, for impatient fan like me lol.

For the last 3 weeks I have not done anything
I rested against the wall of misunderstanding. What wrong with WinCE (for now it generally not working) and what DMA working not in all games...
But in some cases there are already changes for the better compatibility.
Minimally I need to fix WInCE and then I can release an intermediate version of ISO Loader only.
Some improvements will generally only be available with the new version of DS.

I tought you are working on a better data transfert of PIO mode like you had watch in your last video with shenmue I via youtube.
Maybe a first version with a better PIO, can be an issue for booting more games in a first time and released the better DMA version later ?
Add shenmue I at least will be an amazing update for the compatibility list ^^ Perhaps other games like under defeat or karous or else homebrew like pier solar or sturmwind (which booted with RC3) could boot too ?

Pier solar has a lot of protections, so this game the last in todo list
The problem not only in DMA, the WinCE the main problem. But it seems these problems are related.
I do not want to release a version with broken WInCE support...

Thanks for answered me, I understand better. Maybe a short break is needed, the answer will come later...
it's really strange, you are working only on PIO and the DMA crashed. Start again from the last version could check step by step where the problem is. it's just an idea not an advise. I have nothing to tell you
I feel so small in front of your knowledge ^^
