I'm can't find what is timer used for synchronisation

I don't think this issue is related. I'm testing now and I noticed at the 30 second mark, there's an earthquake. That must be what causes it. I'm testing with the default loader memory (0x8c004000) now and I think that may have fixed the issue. I've gone through about six matches now with no freezing. I'm going to test for a bit longer.

Edit: The game froze on me again so changing the loader memory made no difference. :-( I'm going to try a a different GDI (just optimized without shrinking) to see if that makes a difference. I know shrinking can cause issues with some games. We'll see what happens...

Edit #2: The new GDI didn't change anything. :-(


RE: ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta - megavolt85 - 21.02.2019 19:35

memory adres used only for preloader, loader work in range 8c000000-8c004000
preloader used only for upload loader to 8c000000, copy TOC to loader, find LBA all data tracks and write to loader, upload 1ST_READ.BIN to 8c010000 and start from ac010000, after this start preloader don't used

Yeah I wasn't sure if it would matter but wanted to test it anyway. The new GDI didn't make a difference either. Are there any settings I could change that might fix it? Not sure what else to try.


RE: ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta - megavolt85 - 21.02.2019 19:52

no, for loader settings don't used
for preloader used memory adres and run from IP.BIN

Ok that's what I thought. Hopefully you can figure out what the issue is.

If anyone wants to test, just go to "Offline Skirmish" and set the round time to 1 minute. It seems fairly random but if it freezes, it will be at 31 seconds.


RE: ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta - fafadou - 21.02.2019 20:52

I'll try if I can play ooga booga on my dreamcast...


RE: ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta - megavolt85 - 21.02.2019 20:53

hm, i'm check and don't freeze
i'm add few fix, may be it's improve error

It may take a while. Like I said, I played for an hour last night without any problem. It's random. I will test out the new loader though and see what happens.

Edit: No luck with the new loader. Same issue.

I did notice something else though. The map makes a difference. On the default "Fatty Tutorial" map, it will freeze at 16 seconds. On the "Hoodoo Tutorial" map, it will freeze at 31 seconds.


RE: ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta - megavolt85 - 21.02.2019 23:38

Re-Volt, Speed Devils online now fixed


RE: ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta - MilkeyWilkey - 21.02.2019 23:44

that was fast lol. so does the new loader supports cdda now or the problem was somewhere else?


RE: ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta - megavolt85 - 21.02.2019 23:49

problem in timer
cdda don't supported


RE: ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta - MilkeyWilkey - 21.02.2019 23:58

напишу по-русски. это просто замечательно! совместимость дс растёт прямо на глазах. огромное спасибо за это. уже чувствую, что зря отдал деньги за новый лазер и оставил gdrom в живых, если теперь все игры будут идти с hdd) и всё-таки уточню ещё раз по поводу 50/60гц. я так понимаю, что частота в 50гц выставляется загрузчиком по дефолту и это так и задумано? Как в таком случае запускать игры в 60гц? vga в данном случае не вариант, на Горизонте такого нет)


RE: ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta - megavolt85 - 22.02.2019 00:04

я решу эту проблему, но скорей всего что это произойдёт не раньше чем я сделаю новое приложение для этого загрузчика, потому что новый функционал требует отдельных настроек, в то время как большинство старых попросту не нужны


RE: ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta - pcwzrd13 - 22.02.2019 01:19

You are amazing Megavolt! MagForce Racing, Re-Volt, Sega Worldwide Soccer 2000, Slave Zero, and Speed Devils Online all work now! :-D

I will give it a try with Ooga Booga and see if it made any difference there.


RE: ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta - fafadou - 22.02.2019 01:22

For me you don't have to build a new app, the actual is very good, it's not a problem if not all parameters are used. The only thing to fix is the preset of loader device. Of course if you have to add some parameters it's probably necessary.

It may be necessary to add a PIO/DMA choice for cdda in the futur because many games use cdda via PIO (like suzuki all star racing and 4 wheel thunder for example works with cdda only from sd mod probably because it's in PIO) but you're not working on that.

Anyway do the best as usual, it's just a suggest, don't hesitate if you think we can help :-)

I'm very agree with pcwzrd13, you are amazing !


RE: ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta - pcwzrd13 - 22.02.2019 01:47

Well still no luck with Ooga Booga. Never lasts more than 6 rounds or so before freezing.


RE: ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta - megavolt85 - 22.02.2019 02:27

hm, i'm play 30 rounds, with IDE HDD it's work
check GTA 2 US


RE: ISO Loader 0.7.x Beta - fafadou - 22.02.2019 02:36

The us version of GTA have the same radio issue than PAL version ?

Strange. I will test it with my IDE HDD and see what happens.

Yup, it works. Forgot to mention that. Smile
