ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta

[fafadou]

Did you try to run them with loader 0.6.1_gcc_7.1 ?

In order to play them with 0.7.x I repack them in gdi from original GDI dump and original IP.BIN. I replace datas and finally binhack the start lba to 45000 in 1ST_READ.BIN.
Napple tale is running well like this.

Here mine :

I'm downloading your copy of Napple Tale as we speak. If I get it working I may just give what you suggested a try.

What do you use to repack the GDI? As I understand, you need to bundle it all back in to a Bin file and then alter the TOC that is the GDI file in case the track size has changed.

[fafadou]

I use GDI BUILDER.
I extract the datas with gdi explorer. you can use it for cdi too.

[Zychion]

Sweet. Found GDI builder and I think I have it working in most cases. They are working on Demul but I'm yet to test them on hardware. My initial fault was that I thought you had to modify IP.BIN as well but you have to leave that unmodified.

Hey Megavolt,
Ian Michael just uploaded a new up to date version of Cave Story with all it's CDDA tracks;

https://mega.nz/#!j2pnhYoR!BvDybg_JRaw7u...-H4dhQyVY4

Is it possible for you to convert this in to a GDI?

Edit - Sorry. I didn't even think about that when I saw the new CDI uploaded. Thank you for replying though.

[megavolt85]

CDDA tracks don't supported on 0.7.0

Question megavolt,

it is safe to leave on the region changer wire? Or I should remove it after changing region?
I am using the correct f1610 for the va0.

Am also using L160 for the va1 doing the same mod.
I've tested 40 hrs on each unit. Not having problems. Some forums online are saying to remove this region changer wire.

Yes I'm aware. Though I noticed some of the ones reporting that were using the wrong flash chips on the va0 models.

it's adapter for connect PS/2 keyboard, mouse and PlayStation 1/2, Saturn, MegaDrive controllers to Dreamcast
adapter emulate VMU 16 banks, each bank can be ulocked to 241 block

you can buy now STM32F103C8T6, M25PE16 and connectors

[MilkeyWilkey]

OMG this is exactly what I needed. Is software ready? I can imagine connectors would be the priciest part of it

[fafadou]

@megavolt85 : I thought you were working on a game but it's about stuff.

So impressed, brilliant...

I have some questions, like analog twin stick compatibility but I'll ask you later.

I let you work pleasantly :-D
Thanks for answering.

PSX have two mode:
1) standart pad -

Код:

DC          PS
A           X
B           O
X           []
Y           /\
Start       start
d-pad1      d-pad
L           L2
R           R2
Analog1     Left stick

2) all button

Код:

DC                 PS
A                   X
B                   O
C                   R1
D                   select
X                   []
Y                   /\
Z                   L1
Start              start
d-pad1             d-pad
L                   L2
R                   R2
Analog1             Left stick
Analog2             Right stick
d-pad2 up           L3
d-pad2 down         R3

in Q3 arena and Unreal Tournament second mode work fantastic, need test more games

Saturn too have two mode, standart and all button
in all button controller detect as ASCII pad, but (not all) games can use L and R buttons too

Is second analog stick bindable? I thought about editing the game/VMU save file to add support for second analog stick and making dualstick controller prototype, but realized now that the game probably has it's own console like PC version that would allow to bind it on the fly

[megavolt85]

not all games support full functional
Unreal Tournament suppport both analog, but not all button
Q3 arena support all on PSX controller

Some games in the 0.7.0 B1 output for PAL run, 50 hz in B2 version of the same game or cannot be loaded, don't know is what reason.

Hi: Anyone could make "Floigan Bros. Episode I" work in Dreamshell IDE?

---

I have found a failure in 18 Wheeler: American pro Trucker, I tested it in CDI (US), in GDI OPT (US) and GDI OPT (Eu) and all versions freezes in the 4th stage playing "Arcade" mode, anyone played it this game ?

maybe I have wrong presets ? I put those of Dragoncity last list

[fafadou]

Did you have try the game in opt format with 0.7.x loaders ?
Maybe it's the same issue than skies of arcadia intro...
