Black screen / wince game ok with 0.6. gcc7.1

Worms armagedon
Black screen wince game, works well with 0.6.0

Comparison with version 0.6 does not make sense.
BTW, Worms World Party works for me.

black screen

This game can boot only from 8c004800, but at this address only a basic loader fits (without IRQ, CDDA and any features). So it's deadlocked with CDDA support. Only users with 32MB mod can enjoy CDDA in this game yet. If it works there )

Freeze at warning screen

I've been fighting for it for a very long time. Most likely it will work together with the rest of WinCE.

Ok I'm sorry, But if for any reason, it will not run, we'll have a solution
I don't talk about old loader anymore.

As @pcwrd13 tried guilty gear, I'll try this one because I very like it

I hope so
I didn't try low level with this one and nba 2k2.

MSR works with low-level mode.

@SWAT I have a request. Can you add an option to DreamShell to change the default directory for the ISO Loader? I have my games in IDE > Games > A-Z so it would save me a couple clicks if it could default to the "Games" folder. Even if it's just a setting in a config file, that would be nice.

https://github.com/DC-SWAT/DreamShell/bl...p.xml#L199

replace in file /DS/apps/iso_loader/app.xml string path="/" to path="/ide/Games/"

Oh nice! Thanks megavolt!

MSR with low level -> ok
Nba2k2 with low level -> ko but the data diode is blinking after intro and stop and still black screen but it's very close to run I guess.

With hdd ssd mod, the low level is efficient with wince games and few katana games, it's not so good than the great result with ide drive. We noticed this since the 0.7.x loader.

@megavolt85 : please, I have a favor :

Here the gdi I build for xenocider, here the main file is called loader.bin instead of 1ST_READ.BIN, I descramble it and binhack it with IP.BIN at 45000lba. And finally named the cdda files as you advise :
https://mega.nz/file/Rv5xhQra#d1HIV_njMj...aOxGQMwq1k

But the game still not boot with dreamshell, would you please have a look on it ?
I share the non optimized version gdi in order to get the data files more easily.

The game has protection, since Pier Solar, I have not seen games with protection
I will see how easier as possible bypass protection, but you may have to abandon the first boot screen, I hope for you this is not fundamentally

In order to don't bother you again ?

Not a Big deal
Tell me if you need the original data from my own disc.
Thanks for working on this game.

True dma | 0x8C000100 | no IRQ | DMA TMU1 | CDDA | OS homebrew
and you know what the official gdi released doesn't run the cdda with gdemu (at least the clone) only the .cdi
But same issue : I have the warning track instead of music at track2, probably we have to rename the cdda tracks for homebrews.

I checked on emulator and GDEMU I had no problems with CDDA
try this version of XenoCrisis, this is the original GDI in which I removed the empty file and replaced the cover

Oh thank you very much, my gdi gave with my original disc has this issue and I saw the same with other french people.

If I can abuse with a very last one I promise, it looks it's the same protection than sturmwind :
https://www.mediafire.com/file/ulel5wssv...de.7z/file

I can't be able to extract datas...

[fafadou]

@megavolt : xeno crisis and xenociders have the same issue (very little one), the track02.raw with dreamcast warning must be removed and the cdda tracks must be rename : track04.raw -> track01.raw etc...
Else there is a shift, and we earn the dreamcast disc warning during the game ^^
It was you that find this issue, it's the same for neogeo cd games.

Xenociders works like a charm ! Same config as xenocrisis
Thank you very much !

[megavolt85]

i'm don't have this problem, for me all tracks not have shift.
i'm check in XenoCrisis->options->sound->bgm
All good with lxdream, gdemu and hdd

[fafadou]

I don't try the bgm in options menu...
The intro text is speaking, for me the speak starts at the main menu, and in game I have the gdrom message warning...


This happen only with homebrews and neogeo cd, no problem with original games (KATANA and wince) ;
It's a new difference between ide and sata.

[megavolt85]

in Xenocider I fixed the function that adds 3 to the number of the track being played, starting track02 is not possible

Very impressive
Thanks for adding xeno crisis and xenociders in the gdi builder page.
May you Can add sturmwind too :

If you want to check if my iso is not so bad.



Edit : It's really better to do not use DMA for datas with homebrews, the game boots well, but it's unstable and I have a lot of reboots.

Use No dma with sync 16 or 8, same speed for loadings than dma.

With flinstones the game run well with beta 21 and not with the youngest ones.

Anyone else have a problem with saving in Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2? This isn't specific to 0.8. I've tried it with 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8 and it always freezes when I try and save.
