For Stormfront :-P :
Bitfire is a fixed interleave loadersystem with depacker, a basic framework and an image writing tool.
- fix broken NTSC ;_; the indexed opcodes changed from ,x to ,y and an extra nop cured
many things
- shrink resident code size, after we have bloated it with in place depacking
- standalone loader size now $7b bytes \o/
- faster init
- get rid of inversion during sending of data (filename/init)
- allow for an even wider rpm variance when reading a sector/header
- fixed packer. With a given --load-addr and zero overlap option, the last
literal was not copied. It is now included into the stream in that case, and
it is taken care that the file ends with a 257 byte match to signal EOF. Also
needed a fix in the depacker that slows it down :-(
- motor spin up time: relying on checksums is not enough there, in very rare
cases we happen to load junk despite all the checksumming. What a bother! Now
loading arbitrary blocks on spin up until there's success.
- shrink drivecode size after those additions
- testsuite now included
- fixed code upload/reset_drive
- even faster init
- fixed decomp under IO issues and issues with loading of remaining literal
blobs > 255 bytes
- improved depacker speed a bit after other fixes slowed it down and bloat
resident size again up to the max by that, dammit! :-D
- fixed different $01 values depending on hw-detection
- added resident_minimal_zp.asm a minimal version residing in zeropage. Could
be squeezed down to $6a bytes. Useful?
- added --relocate-to addr switch to pack files as if loaded with an
alternative load-address (also helps with --binfile)
Plus: Switching into 2 MHz mode where appropriate for a more stable support of 1571 drives. Doynax 1571 absolved $168 whole disk reads without a flaw. |
