ISO Loader 0.6.x Beta

[gilvan999]

Many thanks s.w.a.t for the new soldr_sd_ide_firmware_v0.6.2_noCDDA_gcc7.1.7z and a merry christmas, get to play UNDER DEFEAT perfectly.
DMA 0x8c004800

[dragoncity]

Great the good memory

Work also with "0.6.1 gcc-7.1"

OPT > DMA > 0x8c004800

Oh yes finally !
0.6.2 may be tryed with no cdda games having a little lag like PSO, alone in the dark, resident evil 2, buzz lightyear, army men, F355 challenge, etc...
And there are some games with cdda that don't be tried with 0.6.1.
The compatibility list must be rise quickly :-)

From the game.

I removed IRQ handling from this build of IDE loader.
It give little more memory and in some cases can more compatibility, because it have low conflict with game code.
But true async in this case can't works good and can't works WinCE games in general.
I would like to know how many games are troubled by IRQ injection.
BTW, SD loader doesn't have this code.

Thank you so much swat,many games with your new loader since december work perfectly,I updated my list ! (But I didn't test all games yet ^^)

You told me there is not enough place..but if you remove this..it's ok after for add loader device


Or fastboot..for me it's better to remove fastboot all the time for see if the games boot or no.

[dragoncity]

I tested "Alone in the Dark",and with all new loader same problem,lag kinematik.

Do you think is it possible to fix this problem?

Just tried it out quickly with NBA Showtime and NFL Blitz 2001 and the games now start! I'll go ahead and test more games. If this new loader increases compatibility, maybe you could have DreamShell automatically select the best loader depending on what options are chosen. E.g. If using DMA or CDDA, use the old loader. If not using DMA or CDDA, use the new loader.

For the moment games works perfectly with "0.6.1 gcc-7.1 > 3.bin"

Ok so I quickly ran some tests on all the games that don't work at all on the current loader. With the new "noWINCE_noCDDA_gcc7.1", NFL Blitz 2001 and NBA Showtime now work. Previously they would hang when starting a game.

Also, in Speed Devils Online, the races will now start but the cars will all stop after a couple seconds. I guess that's an improvement. lol

I wasn't able to get any new games to boot that wouldn't before. Although I didn't mess around with the loader memory. Just did quick tests with the default 0x8c004000.

Why does my Dreamcast only work with HD IDE up to 80GB? 200GB HD test detects but does not start the dreamshell.
Also test 500GB HD SATA with adapter with CI jm20330 and do not start the Dreamshell any idea?

[fafadou]

@gilvan999 : the manufacturer maybe different or you are in master mode with the 200GB.


@pcwrd13 :it's great you have find some new games compatible !


It looks for games with cdda and/or dma -> 0.6.1 gcc7.1 and for games no_wince_no_cdda -> 0.6.3 gccc7.1
It's strange for underdefeat maybe the smaller size of 0.6.1 help to boot or it was already compatible I have seen some comment saying there was the case...
The compatibility is better but the speed is the same as dragoncity has seen it with "alone in the dark"
It's strange for under defeat it's a no cdda game, maybe the smaller size of the loader 0.6.1 had helped to boot.

I hope it will be easy to gather those correctings in the 0.6.6x beta loader in order to finalize it.

But it's time to find the good suprises left hidden in 0.6.1_2_3 :-)

all the HD that test was in slave, I will remove the wires of the mod ide and put thicker wires.

What are you using HD? I realized that in my HD IDE hours works hours not the same game, for example the soul calibur hours works same thing the under defeat. to using HD IDE 80GB jump slave. I tried HD IDE 200GB jump slave, but it does not work same thing with SATA 250 + adapter. Welded wires on mother board.

Forget IDE !!

For me the best is SSD,many games works better in SSD !

Do you use my PCB > GD-IDE or G1-ATA?
https://dragoncity17.wordpress.com/2018/...st-gd-ide/
https://dragoncity17.wordpress.com/2018/...st-g1-ata/

With you can put an IDE ATA 133 (80wire) and it's very important for SATA.
Also don't use Pin 1 for SATA.

My config :
> GD-IDE or G1-ATA
> SSD
> SD MOD for launch Dreamshell

How do I buy a GD-IDE pcb from Brazil do you ship?

Second beta of new loader (0.7+) with 0.6.x interface for easy testing.
I just build it on GCC 8.2 and add builds without CDDA support.
