Xtrem sports and quake 3 are still o with this version ? Must boot with IP.BIN.

Test as you can.
Xtreme Spprts works for me always.
Quake 3 has issues, works now only from 8c004000 without CDDA.

Ok I'll continue tomorrow the morning Smile

Quake 3 looks a good game to focus on, for next loader later.

For sure, I fixed it: https://github.com/DC-SWAT/DreamShell/releases/tag/v4.0.0RC5-T17
Also SOF, maybe some more.

Ok I'll try it tomorrow Smile
I'll start by soldier of fortune (SOF).
Now I keep preciously each version Big Grin


RE: ISO Loader 0.8.x Beta + preview of DreamShell v4.0 RC 5 - pcwzrd13 - 06.03.2023 23:23

KAO works again with the latest update! Smile Tested with IRQ, CDDA "DMA & TMU2", and Loader Mem 0x8cfe8000. Needed to use "Behind the loader" option as well or the game would freeze at the main menu.

Quake III Arena works but still having the "rainbow screen" issue on the third loop of the music. Used DMA, IRQ, CDDA "DMA & TMU1", and Loader Mem 0x8c001100.

And Shenmue 1 now works for me Tongue
Finally Smile
Only had to change loader to 0x8cfe8000.

Are there any games you guys would like me to test?


RE: ISO Loader 0.8.x Beta + preview of DreamShell v4.0 RC 5 - segatxdc - 07.03.2023 04:12

When I use the save game set shortcut, it will crash, restart again into the black screen, check the documents, it found that the production pictures of 0 KB, can only be normal, delete don't know what reason is caused, the other default Settings to use memory function, regulate other LOW read no memory function.

Quake rainbow screen fixes if use SQ instead of DMA in CDDA settings? Maybe problem in SPU DMA using.

Freezes at the main menu when using SQ. Sad

Edit: Also noticed I can't boot PSO v.2 anymore with the (last few loaders?) without using low-level. Previously I just used 0x8cef8000 without DMA.

Tests from my side :

kao gets back to life Smile same preset as @pcwzrd13 but the game is quite unstable. I had some freeze even in game, but the loop enhancement for cdda is still effective Smile

skies of arcadia still freeze during intro at the same moment.
Can't boot ooga booga with echelon patch.
If we can boot shenmue I, I guess the data is better anyway Smile

millenium soldier expandable :
True dma | 0x8C000100 | no IRQ | SQ TMU1 | CDDA
weird screen overlay one time in game and still this odd texture issue, probably same issue than quake 3.

spec ops : black screen when start a mission before loading

the flinstones viva rock vegas : freeze after langage selection.

I don't be able to play toy commander while I did with precious loader.

sturmwind : the cdda is played then I have a black screen after vmu menu Big Grin

revolt still very good Smile

I'll be able to boot .iso again but it's not totally good.
neo geo is not totally smooth as 0.6. loaders, can't play official games (wacky races freeze during options but boot), genesis emulator doesn't run the iso...

New build: https://github.com/DC-SWAT/DreamShell/releases/tag/v4.0.0RC5-T18

- Ability to create a VMU dump in game directory by checkbox in ISO Loader app
- Support for loaders to try open VMU dump in game directory first.
- Renaming dump001.vmd -> vmu001.vmd.
- Improved heap memory auto selection. Now it uses for heap 0x8c001100 if the loader at end of memory.
- Fixes for console in core and add support for profiling (dev).

Very nice update @SWAT! That really streamlines the VMU emulation! :-)

One suggestion: I think you should make it clearer that you have the option of either specifying a VMU number OR use the VMU in the game directory. Something like this:

▣ VMU Emulation
- ▣ VMU # ___ ▢ Use VMU in Game Directory


RE: ISO Loader 0.8.x Beta + preview of DreamShell v4.0 RC 5 - SWAT - 10.03.2023 18:36

VMU number applied to both game and root directories.
It's just by default try use it from game directory first.


RE: ISO Loader 0.8.x Beta + preview of DreamShell v4.0 RC 5 - pcwzrd13 - 10.03.2023 18:42

Oh I see! I didn't think this was the case as I tried to boot Record of Lodoss War and it made a file named vmu000.vmd and the box defaulted to 001. Maybe this was a bug? I tried a couple other games and it named it 001. The game failed to boot so maybe that caused the issue.


RE: ISO Loader 0.8.x Beta + preview of DreamShell v4.0 RC 5 - fafadou - 10.03.2023 22:27

This fabulous feature is very a high improvement comparing to ode (gdemu, mode usb gdrom) !

Test BATA16 memory resident evil 2 can be directly run, replacing BATA18 black screen, Sally wood 2 beginning after the crash. Sally wood 1 can.

With VMU emulation compatibility worse than without it.
Need test without features like Screenshots and VMU emulation first.

Спасибо за эмуляцию VMU. С BlueRetro теперь удовольствие играть!
