ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta

[pcwzrd13]

Well PSO boots now so that's good. Unfortunately it still has the same bug as the previous loader. I can't target players to heal/revive. :-(

How have you fragmented your disk ? I used AOMEI Partition.

Just tested out Pro Yakyu Team de Asobou. It works but shows some sort of debug info at the top-left. This happens on both the old loader and the new one.



Also tested Sega Worldwide Soccer 2000. It has the same issue as GTA 2 and MagForce Racing where it gets stuck in a demo mode loop.

Yup, you're right! The PAL version seems fine. So only the NTSC version gets stuck in demo mode.

NFL Blitz 2000 - Won't boot.
World Series Baseball 2K2 - Freezes after intro movie.

NFL Blitz 2000 have BIOS protection, need create patch. you can boot if before run game you switch to original BIOS

World Series Baseball 2K2 v1.000 (2001)(Sega)(NTSC)(US) work

I got it working. The shrunken GDI didn't work. Optimized without shrinking works fine.

[megavolt85]

few games like MSR have protections and can't be rebuilded

It's possible to switch bios when dreamcast is powering on ?


I'm sorry for this other obvious question but what is gdi shrink ? it removes some bios protection ? How use it ?

GDIShrink removes all the padding from GDIs and makes them much smaller. A full US collection shrinks down to only 150GB. There are a few games it doesn't work with but most are fine. It also optimizes the GDI so you don't need to do that.

Here's a video on how to use it:

The web browsers work with the new loader! Tested both PlanetWeb 3.0 and the in-game browsers and all of them work perfectly! :-D

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...".

Same problem,but it's a pity because I see the game doesn't lag in kinematic !

Army Men - Sarge's Heroes (lag sometimes during the game,freeze during 3-4s)

I need Boku no Tennis Jinsei (My Tennis Life) for test in OPT I lost my GDI..and I found only in CDI.

So please send me here or by MP a link for GDI.

Cutscenes and intro videos works so much better with this loader! No more stuttering or crackling audio. :-)

Yes, that's exactly what it is.
