Testing it now but I'm not able to get any games to load. It just says "linkmap error" every time. What does this mean?

you create defragmentation for your HDD?

Not sure what you mean by that. I'm using a CF card. Not sure if that makes a difference.

"linkmap error" can be printed only if /DS/DS_CORE.BIN have many fragmets, it's need for IGR

for my loader it's have a difference.
it's low level emulation loader, yor device can be defragmented
loader don't use filesystem

I fixed it! I was loading DreamShell from my serial SD reader. I put the DS folder on the CF card and now it works. :-)

ok, check Phantasy Star Online, i'm doh' check is for online functional

Planning on doing that tomorrow. Will let you know. :-)

ok, thanks

Just did some brief testing and I can confirm that the following games now boot:

Atari Anniversary Edition
Fur Fighters
Looney Tunes Space Race
Metropolis Street Racer
NBA 2K2 (Very likely that all the other 2K games work as well)
Ooga Booga
Shenmue (I know this worked for others before but this is the first time I've gotten it to boot)

This is awesome! I think DreamShell may be around 99% compatible now! You are awesome megavolt! :-D I'll be doing more testing tomorrow.

Thanks for this release megavolt, how great you are :-)

What's the problem with evil twin ? You have a black screen after the second intro video ? We notice that, it's not each time in precedent version of loader. We can avoid it sometime when downsample those videos.
If I remember well, Swat said those files are burning by the discside and so even in cdi with a cd there are some problem...
But you probably know all that better than me.

Do you have any idea, for fixing cdda games sincronisations ? I see some in your todo list ?
The size of this loader is such "huge", bigger than some loader with cdda...
What is the gcc you have used ? If it's a version "newer" than gcc 7.1, could you in a first time do the same thing for 0.6.1, i.e. took the 0.6.0 in order to resize it smaller, thanks to swat with that method some cdda games run now with 0.6.1 gcc7.1.
Just an idea during my hapiness, there is probably a lot of things I don't understand.

Well I have to try this new loader and focus on it ^^ Many thanks again. What a lovely day !!
@pcwzrd13 : it's awesome you could already try it :-) Please tell us about PSO online I'm very impatient to have your return.

Street Fighter III 3rd Strike - Fight for the Future: running 100%.
Vampire Chronicle for Matching Service does not work.
Jet Grind Radio running 100%.

game reboot after second intro video

need research

(16.02.2019 13:15)fafadou писал(а): [ -> ]The size of this loader is such "huge"

is size preloader+loader. preloader upload loader to 8C000000 and setup variable, after preloader don't used
real loader size 10 836 bytes

(16.02.2019 13:42)aldair писал(а): [ -> ]running with DMA.

option DMA not used

metropolis street racing finally works

@fanhais : yes

I will try Karous, stupid invaders and probably sturmwind without cdda.

@aldair vampire chronicles for matchng service is a cdda game ? Have you try with many memories ? the 0x8c0000100 doesn't work as megavolt said. Maybe it needs DMA ? Or a jap console...


@megavolt : for evil twin it's this problem, even those who have burn a cdi have this. You can avoid it when downsample the videos (I did but I has still it often) or run the game with a vmu and a save (I did it too but I have still the problem...) Dragoncity could finished it anyway...
I try to repack the game in only 3 tracks than 5 actually maybe it will be better for you.
The problem is still here unfortunately...

(16.02.2019 17:59)fafadou писал(а): [ -> ]and probably sturmwind without cdda.

supported only GDI

(16.02.2019 17:59)fafadou писал(а): [ -> ]Maybe it needs DMA ?...

DMA always on. it's low level emulations

video work fine. may be problem with VMU, i'm don't have VMU for check

So I noticed an issue with Alone in the Dark. I'm not able to start a new game. The option is disabled. When I try and load a game, it will always ask for disc 2, even if I'm already using disc 2. With the old loader, I can start a new game but it will just freeze at "Loading...".

Thankyou so much for this megavolt, Shenmue works perfectly now when 0.6.6 wouldn't.

and resident evil 2 fmv not stuttering anymore run very well what loader what Megavol85 just did.
many thanks
