Dreamload question
Hi!
Does anyone know how to 'convert' ide64 fixed games to dreamload?
I saw that there exists an ide64 version of 'Rick Dangerous 2'. How do I add the new loader?
It should run with the MMC64... |

Seeking should be no problem with IDEDOS 0.90. Actually DFI support is implemented with seeks...

Aaaargh, once I forget to copy my typed text to an editor and whooosh, it got thrown away :((((( Fuck!
Okay, to sum it up:
- Dreamload started as a 1541-loader for our demos
- we added everything else to see if it is possible
- it is still a loader for (our) demos
- so, we won't throw away the track/sector thing
- it is not really suited for games, KERNAL is better there.
- sorry to all, which hoped for lots of MMC-games now
- we wanted to add IDE64-DFI later, soci was faster
- (toolchain? just dreamass is really needed...)
And finally: it's all about the fun doing it... |

Then, we have to wait for real mmc-kernal support and forget dreamload? ;) |

Or just define a generic loader interface that goes without Kernal patches and then swap loaders if needed. |

much easier to create a kernel patch for a new device than adding support for a new device to <insert insanely large number> games.
demos, yes, those are a completely different story. |

How much RAM the kernal patch would approximately need? I guess it would need to be relocatible to be useful.. |

Well, at least you won't need a buffer there. But some mem to store MMC-configs? Dunno, maybe Baccy stores everything in RR-Ram or something :D But as I said, KERNAL-thingie is just an idea at the moment and Baccy is busy as hell... |

dreamload on mmc also works without the RR, i think it only uses RR as a possible buffer. |
