[fafadou]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH !!!
Thanks Swat !
As soon I get home, I try it :-)

[dragoncity]

Great thank you !

Have you seen my message SWAT?

--------------------
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.

Напишу тут. У меня наблюдается проблемная ситуация с Омикроном на Дримшел. Где по ходу прохождения, игрок оказывается в воде и должен проплыть, поднырнуть и пр., некоторые такие места обойти в игре нет возможности. На Дримшел, когда игрок под водой касается чего-либо - стенок, потолка, объектов - игра сразу виснет, постоянно. Проверял и недавно, на новых sd.bin и пр. - проблема остается, с сд-диска работает нормально. Проблема не похожа на ситуацию, когда затирается загрузчик, скорее всего - что-то другое, может системные вызовы или прочее.

Если у кого есть желание проверить - скажите тогда, у меня остались сохранения игры, попробую найти поближе к воде, т.к. там не везде сохраняться можно. Для меня получается - игра не проходима с SD из-за мест с водой, не знаю - как ситуация с HDD и другим железом.

@PVS : I don't play omicron for now... Not sure about translator di you have try with ide ? What kind of hdd do you use ?

Do not worry, the settings in the application will be redone. I will not throw anything out right now.

Ok SWAT no problem

With your new loader do you think it can fix :
- Revolt
or
- Metropolis Street Racer

I remember that for MSR it was complicated, but I do not know the exact reason.

[SWAT]

Try MSR, it use rare syscalls.

[fafadou]

Ok let's go :-)

[gilvan999]

how do I use these other files? cd.bin cd_noCDDA.bin dcl.bin dcl_noCDDA.bin just need to rename to ide.bin?

[fafadou]

That's it just rename them and they don't have any cdda function. so only for games without cdda or for trying a cdda game that doesn't boot neither with any .bin

Okay, I understand, thank you very much for the information. I do not know what's happening to me here, the games I was loading now do not work anymore, under Defeat and soul calibur (PAL) example. Soul Calibur hangs on NANCO's home screen. and UNDER DEFEAT hangs on the loading screen. No longer works with any IDE.bin

It's normal.

Versions < 0.6.6 - loader from RC4 with small changes.
Versions >= 0.6.6 - new unreleased loader with a lot of bugs.

[dragoncity]

With the last loader I tested quickly MSR and same problem,black screen after intro.

[fafadou]

According to swat, MSR has a rare syscall, it may need more test like under defeat.
I notice a lot of loaders start MSR both opt and gdi.
It's possible we have to use a loader doesn't in the list ?



@gilvan999 : It's strange... Hope you'll find the issue.[/quote]

[SWAT]

Need fix new loader, it's works very bad yet. I'm waiting new hardware from cvgs, after it I'll try to finish it.

[fafadou]

We'll try to see all it can already do :-)

[dragoncity]

New game who works now

F1 World Grand Prix II PAL
> OPT
> 0x8c000100
> IP.BIN
> 0.6.1 gcc-7.1

But doesn't work with CDDA.
IP.BIN very important if not freeze during the game

[fafadou]

Oh yes thanks to continue the tests with ide 0.6.1 gcc 7.1, it's truly a very good evolution of 0.6.0. add it with the sd.bin 0.6.6x beta version for having a very good combo.
there are probably some cdda games which must run well now but not testing yet (bangaio, hydrothunder, deadly skies etc...)
You can add in your list snow surfer, I tryed it and the cdda doesn't crash anymore, everything works well in gdi format.


For shenmue I and soulcalibur you can use the ide.bin from 0.6.6x for me. As you can see on a video from swat of soulcalibur. It runs better with this version than previous.
and finally the 0.6.3 for games "discovered" by pcwzrd13, and there are probably others games which would run now :-)

And thanks to you dragoncity, I could run under defeat :-)


I wish to focus a little, on the 0.6.7 version, if I understand well the sd.bin is the sd.bin from beta version but compiled with the 8.2gcc, the sd.bin is smaller. I really want to see the results. And the ide.bin of course in order to compare with the beta version. I will tell you all I see.

[fafadou]

Then :-)

I try a lot the 0.6.7 ide.bin and sd.bin :

0.6.7 ide.bin : I have boot absolutly zero game... Except a "now loading" before a dreamcast reboot with F355 challenge...
And after that I change it by an older version and I have a "failed !" after "mounting" in the boot menu.
I'll going to repack by an original one my DS folder
0.6.7 sd.bin : It plays shenmue I, and 4 wheel thunder with cdda (that no ide.bin run for now) but with others games and hombrew I have the same result than sd.bin 0.6.0 that is to say alice dream tournament crash during intro and some neo4all are incomplete (no ground, background or even players missing), unreal tournament with cdda freeze at two bars and quake III arena with cdda unplayable while the 0.6.6x sd.bin give a better result : alice dream tournament intro run completely, neo4all more complete for soccer games, and freeze at 3 bars in unreal tournament with cdda.

As a result you were right @swat the gcc8.2 is not very good for dreamcast even if the sd.bin and ide.bin are smaller. when you will have your new hardware from cvgs you are waiting for, it will probably better to resume from 0.6.6x instead of the 0.6.7.


Now I'm focusing on 0.6.1, 0.6.2 and 0.6.3 to try to run msr and stupid invaders and others booting but crashing games when you want to start a game :-)

I thought it was just me that did not boot with this newer version.
