Maybe find the good memory...

yeah is random freeze but it is an huge achievement I think we get closer to achieve full compatibility

[pcwzrd13]

Ok so here's what I've noticed. All games that pause the music when you hit Start have a chance of freezing when you do that. Tested with Kao, Toy Racer, Toy Commander, and Dave Mirra. If you rapidly press the Start button over and over, the game will freeze. So this isn't an issue with the chosen loader memory. It's a problem with the CDDA emulation in general.

I also noticed that the music in Kao the Kangaroo starts to get really distorted after you play for a while.

Maybe is the same loop issue than revolt when you start a race.

@santonio take one of three sd .bin file from @Swat release, rename it as sd.bin and replace yours in your ds folder.

This module supports new param to buffer control. From console or scripts you can use it.

Possible, but this is more difficult, not all at once.

[fafadou]

Ok, I don't put it in my DS folder yet.
I'll do more test with it.

Looney toons space race, black screen loading intro after infogram logo with 0.6.9_dyn, need test with 0.6.9
In @Dragoncity's list, the game boot with 0.6.3 no cdda loader

Unreal, boot but freeze at first loadind like usual
homebrew
zia black screen after langage choice screen
xeno crisis still no sound the gdi made by the "bitmap bureau" seems strange, no sound with gdemu neither.

To be continued

Are these test results for SD card version or for HDD version?

HDD.

Forget SD, it's too slow!

And some loaders like 0.7.x are not compatible.

[dragoncity]

Sega Smash Pack Volume 1

With loader 0x8c004000 + CDDA > No music

With loader 0x8c000100 + CDDA > Music but freeze in menu

Why no music with loader 0x8c004000 ??

Should be the same result with CDDA. But it's really slow, need convert tracks to ADPCM for speedup.

We are focus on ide, hdd mod, because the sd card reader port is slow and FMV for example are no good, no wince games running etc...
All the sd.bin have good compatibility with games and cdda, but you have to check it by yourself, like I do when I want to use it ;-)
Install a hdd and come with us.
Thanks @Swat to still release it, even for archive.


@Dragoncity what loader did you use ? ide.bin or ide_dyn.bin ?
More you start at the beginning of the memory more you have chance to run cdda.

[dragoncity]

I test with ide_dyn.bin

[fafadou]

I replace the isoldr.klf and no games boot after that, so I come back with old isoldr.klf
I rename the old isoldr.klf in isoldr_old.klf in order to do not remove it from my sd card.
Maybe it's something wrong ?

[fafadou]

Tests with ide.bin :
Looney toons space race black screen at intro
Revolt cdda run ! But race never start loop issue i guess.
Framerate quiet slow.
Guilty Gear intro freeze if you try to skip it,
Freeze at the beginning of battle.

You should use RC5 with it.
The module needed to get updated isoldr command in shell console. For example shortcuts on desktop uses console command.
In next time I will update application.

That revolt issue sounds the same as NBA Showtime. If you start a game the announcer just starts playing at the cheat screen and the game never actually loads. Well it may after playing every sound byte but I haven't waited that long.
