Fastloader kernal for VICE
Using a vanilla kernal in x64sc is kind of annoying, since loading is slow even with warp mode (I only get 450%) and the lack of f-keys makes loading things like the X2012 gfx and music disks a chore.
So, is there a good replacement kernal with:
a decent fastloader, at least 10x, and as compatible as possible - just patching LOAD and not leaving crap in the drive afterwards
F-keys for comfortable DIR and LOAD/RUN
as few other changes as possible.
I've been using JiffyDOS but a few loaders refuse to start on it, presumably due to the patched drive rom. The F-keys are kinda shitty too. Action Replay is not an option due to the lack of autostart, but I've been considering hacking TFR to perform a KILL before RUN... Before I go hacking it though, anything out there that does what I want already?

$ x64 -keybuf "\20\88"
Result: still waiting for key in AR6 menu
$ x64 -keybuf \\88
Result: enters the AR6 freezer

vice crt check is more strict on recent vice 2.3.x / 2.4 builds, change the byte at offset 0x13 from 0x20 to 0x40
most of crts out there will need to be patched =) |

Here is a version I did some time ago:
http://kilic.org/download/ar6wdm.zip
- Removes startup menu.
- Starts with or without Fastload enabled.
- F4/F6 keys to toggle Fastload on/off.
