ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta

[dragoncity]

Work with memory 0x8cfe8000.

There are problems with the text (menu etc...) but this does not prevent you from playing.

Hi megavolt,

I read on dreamcast-talk forums that you did an updated build for metal slug 6 with blood, would it be possible to update the first post with the updated version for DreamShell as well ?

I don't use DMA too,when I say nothing about DMA on my list don't activate

Guys, ISO Loader 0.7.x works only in DMA mode PIO only if game asked PIO reading, but not if a want for you ))

Thanks for explaining.
However Metal Slug only seems to work with loader 0.6.x with DMA disabled.

Perhaps that's the reason why it does not boot with 0.7.x

in the first post the latest version of Metal Slug 6
there are no special versions for DreamShell, in the first post there is exactly the same image as in other forums

Hi megavolt, you were right about the metal slug 6 release on the first post, it has blood.
I probably grabbed the first version from another place which worked as well, but without blood.


I've also tested the newer ports, thanks a lot!!
(I'm very new to arcade games..)

Neogeo Battle Coliseum seems really hard.. I would have to spend many coins on a real arcade machine for that lol

Samurai Spirits is much easier and very fun.

I like King of Fighter the most, because of the amazing graphics (backdrop artwork) and nice gameplay.
EDIT: All working fine now (was using the wrong address)

King of Fighter > Do you use "0x8cfe8000" or you find better?

Neogeo Battle Coliseum > which config ?

[MastaG]

I used 0x8cfe8000 for all games yes and all working fine.
Same as metal slug 6.

However the first time I boot King of Fighters, I accidentally put 0x8cfe0000 instead of 0x8cfe8000 (typo from my side).
That made the game crash on loading new stage.

0x8cfe8000 seems Ok for all ports so far using loader 0.6 and without dma (tested from CF).

I just did a stream of the Atomiswave games on my YouTube channel. They work great for the most part but I had freezing issues with Metal Slug 6. I used 0.6.1 GCC 7.1 with 0x8cfe8000 as the loader memory. It froze on me twice on the first stage. Seems to be random as it didn't happen at the same spot every time. Are there any alternate settings that may work? I tried some random ones but didn't have any luck getting it to boot.

Here's the stream BTW:

I use 0.6.1 GCC 7.1 no problem for me.
Same config.

Yeah it's not working for me. It always seems to freeze at the end of boss battles. It's random though and doesn't always happen. I got to the end of mission 2 the last time I tried.

Edit: I might have solved the issue. I set the sync to 16 and I was able to make it to mission 3. Don't have any more time to test today though but I'll try again tomorrow and see how it goes.

[fafadou]

I configured synchro 8 but if I have a freeze, I'll use synchro 16 :-)

[pcwzrd13]

Ok so I did more testing today and it looks like sync 16 didn't fix the problem. It still freezes on me. However I think using a CF card instead of a HDD fixed it. I played missions 1-4 twice with no freezing on Easy mode. I have a different issue now though. lol I won't load the final "worm" boss. It just goes to a black screen after the end of the "shmup" part and won't continue. It did this both time I tried it.
