Using DreamShell - General user guide? - SonicDcer - 07.06.2016 13:27

It would be nice to have some sort of guide of how to use dreamshell, things like How to ADD ICONS on the Desktop, what commands can be executed in them, like os.execute, sdiso, etc.

I Wanted to make GENS4ALL and DreamSnes from HDD with no luck, i placed the folders on the root of the HDD and created an icon like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<app name="Genesis" version="1.0" icon="cover.png">
<resources>
<module src="../../modules/minilzo.klf" />
<module src="../../modules/isofs.klf" />
<module src="../../modules/isoldr.klf" />
<script type="text/lua" src="./lua/main.lua" />
<font src="../../fonts/ttf/arial_lite.ttf" type="ttf" size="16" name="arial" />
<image src="./images/back.jpg" name="back" />
<image src="./images/play.png" name="play" />
<image src="./images/exit.png" name="exit" />
</resources>
<body x="0" y="0" width="640" height="480" background="back">
<input type="button"
onclick="os.execute(string.format('exec -b -f /ide/gens4all/gens4all.bin', os.getenv('PATH')));"
normal="play" highlight="play" pressed="play" disabled="play"
x="440" y="280" width="200" height="100" name="playbut" />
<input type="button"
onclick="console:app -o -n Main"
normal="exit" highlight="exit" pressed="exit" disabled="exit"
x="440" y="380" width="200" height="100" name="exitbut" />
</body>
</app>

And it just gives me Black Screen when i touch play.

I did the same thing to Dreamsnes but didn't work.
or what commands can you use and how to use them on the console would be nice.

You have BIOS mod? If yes, you use bootloader bios?


RE: Using DreamShell - General user guide? - SonicDcer - 08.06.2016 02:31

Yes, bios mod and bootloader devkit bios installed


RE: Using DreamShell - General user guide? - megavolt85 - 08.06.2016 11:58

need patch gens4all.bin


RE: Using DreamShell - General user guide? - SonicDcer - 08.06.2016 12:19

Do you mind explaining how?


RE: Using DreamShell - General user guide? - SonicDcer - 08.06.2016 22:02

I'm really about to give up here, i tried everything but i can't get dreamsnes, or gens4all, or snes4all work from HDD, not even the SDISO packs there are everywhere. GDI Games work just fine but Binaries don't, they are unscrambled according to Binchecker. Y also tried to run SDISO packs like 3CountBout or Duke nukem from HDD, they don't work either, just black screen.

Please give me a hand, i will really appreciate it.

Thanks

local path = os.getenv("PATH");

os.execute("exec -b -f /ide/gens4all/gens4all.bin");

All homebrew can't works with last bootloader bioses by some reason.
Need patch or recompile with little changes homebrew binaries or use another bios firmware, for example sd_loader_with.bios but you need boot DS_CORE.BIN from SD...


RE: Using DreamShell - General user guide? - SonicDcer - 09.06.2016 10:16

The main goal here is using the hdd, if i have to boot from SD might as well use the SD and that's it.

What's the big deal with the BIOS that's troubling you guys?


RE: Using DreamShell - General user guide? - megavolt85 - 09.06.2016 15:05

SonicDcer upload your gens4all.bin


RE: Using DreamShell - General user guide? - SWAT - 09.06.2016 15:13

You can use HDD and with sd_loader_with.bios after boot DS core from SD.

It was you who programmed to have these SD and IDE supports?


RE: Using DreamShell - General user guide? - megavolt85 - 17.06.2016 14:46

I'm add support SD, IDE, reboot and change save from VMU to HDD

is that just a path change, or something more complex?
could it be done with game iso's ?
