ISO Loader v0.8.0 Beta 25 (app, module and firmware):

• Build on GCC 12.2 and Newlib 4.3.0.
• New completely rewritten GDC syscalls. Emulates much better.
• New completely rewritten G1 IDE driver that support ATA/ATAPI devices: HDD, CF Card, GD/CD/DVD-ROM and some converters. The core works on KOS driver yet.
  

As always very impressive to see all this whole work
Are you happy with your rewritten code ? do you think it's possible to get the boot for all wince games with cdda for you ?
Kiss psycho circus and deep fighter works with previous loader managed by old GDC syscall less good than the new one strangely that we told about.

Each loader has three types of build, default, extended and full:
- If not used IRQ and CDDA, uses default loader (like SE version, but with CSO support).
- If used IRQ or CDDA then used extended loader (without CSO support, only IRQ and CDDA).
- If used "low level" or VMU emulation or screenshot feature then used a full loader. This loader support all features.

Just asking to myself why you have removed the CSO support for extended loader ?
Do you think it's a good idea to remove it from default.bin default loader ?
Or add it in the extended one or simply keep it for full loader only.
Actually, I don't know what CSO is I'm sorry.

But I understand the differences between loaders and it's very clever, well done


Thanks for all, I ordered my CF adapter, but I wish to keep my ssd because it's the "futur"
But I loved already my CF.
