CDFS Support? - szczuru - 22.09.2014 14:41

Hi all,

Is it possibled to add CDFS support to DreamShell? Then we will can attach CD-ROM/DVD-ROM via IDE and run games from it...

good idea!

CDFS already supported (for GD drive), but DS doesn't have driver for ATAPI devices (CD/DVD drive).
I'm not sure it's really needed? You are not satisfied with HDD?

It's not question about being satisfied or not (btw DS is great Wink ). But in this times it's hard to find ATA HDD in good condition and not every ATA-SATA converter work, on the other hand CD/DVD-ROMs are still avadible in really cheap price.

I will not promise anything, maybe I'll do it in the future.

Swat dislikes mechanical parts))

if no ata hdd, maybe try use adaptor like IDE-CF or IDE-SD, or even SSD HDD(if it's not expensive)

cd/dvd packets is not complex, but it will take time to define and test it)))

Could you recommend any working IDE-CF/IDE-SD adapter for DC?
