ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta

[pcwzrd13]

Awesome! You're the best Megavolt! :-) How does the disc swap work? Is it just automatic?

Are there any other changes in this version or is that it for now?

Some games need to be solved.
Biochemical crisis gaiden tiger BUG,
Some in 0.7.0 game can be run, can not run in the B2 version, in loading read card
KOF series. Zero type shooter 2 there is a close BUG crashing.
Can support ISO format and run directly MDF format of the game.

I don't have a look in data yet, but I'm very curious to see how you have done.
This D2 swap disc version is a really masterpiece of hack :-)

D2 game after conversion, 4 gd file is put together or how to do? In addition to supporting the game, but also can be used in other games, need to change plate like alone in the dark. 4. To support the fingers.

[megavolt85]

D2 image can be downloaded in the first post under the spoiler Rebuilded GDI
Patch inserted in track03 of first disk, track03 of remaining disks renamed to track103, track203 and track303

How much do I know the rest of the game when changing the disc throw in the BIOS menu, only D2 required changing the disc right in the game

[segatxdc]

Alone in the Dark The New Nightmare ，This game requires 2 CD in plate

Hello Megavolt did you get your sata adapter working? Mine is working. I wire mine like this https://imgur.com/a/oVb8fn2 . So far many games are working but Zombie Revenge keeps freezing after some areas. Tried it on 5 other dreamcasts still having same issue.

my first sata adapter don't work

dragoncity send me g1ata board with same sata adapter, this adapter work better, but it freeze on loading DS core
now i'm wait logic analyzer for look why sata adapter blocking loading
fafadou sended to me same sata adapter, it is still on the way, with three adapters it will be easier for me to collect statistics

According to the tests already made, I can say that the problem is hardware, I tell more after I get the equipment

Hmm that's very strange. I've done 7 units with SATA HDD. It's very sensitive to thickness of wires. I'm using a 40 pin ide from an Xbox classic unit. Then I use thin wires. I'm pretty much guaranteed to pass the loading DS core screen. Anyways happy new year friend.

[megavolt85]

dragoncity g1ata board does not use wires at all



DreamShell loading freeze even with IDE HDD if SATA adapter connected as MASTER

[luizroz]

DreamShell loading freeze with many shortcuts in Desktop too...

[megavolt85]

This has nothing to do with this issue
Each shortcut is allocated memory if you create many shortcuts free RAM comes to an end

[fafadou]

@megavolt85 : dragoncity send you a very nice board for using with a no gdrom bios. Enjoy it with a HDD ssd :-)
Hope my ide to sata converter arrive soon, I didn't any news since the mail past the russian frontier...
Hope too my converter will be good on your actual system.

Merry Christmas to you :-)

Zombie Revenge froze on my once as well from a standard IDE HDD, so I don't think it's a problem specific to SATA. I think I may have switched to the 0.6 loader after that happened and it was fine. So maybe it's a problem with 0.7? I'm not 100% certain though. It was a while ago.

[megavolt85]

Your adapter 150 kilometers away, after New Year 's Eve it will arrive
In the next release I will add a change of disc in alone in the dark
Happy New Year to all
