IRQ-loader toolchain for KickAss/Windows?
So, the one and only time I tried making an IRQ-loading demo I swore I would never, ever try that again.
Now I guess the memory has faded enough that I'm perhaps starting to reconsider! :)
Back then I used Dreamload and Exomizer, however putting it together was a complete pain in the ass.
I don't recall exactly what the trouble was, but I think it was the fact that the de-exomizer needed to point to the end of the packed data, which meant I had to compile the parts I wanted to load, exomize them, manually note the lengths, and then enter that length in another source where I had the general part-loader as indata to the deexomizer. Every little change meant redoing that procedure since the packed length always differed a bit.
Has anyone some more plug-and-play-ready solutions? I know there is lft's Spindle system, but that seems a bit too specific in the way you have to do things, and also kind of Linux-centric.
I would prefer working from Windows and using KickAssembler. |

Quoting Flaviowebcc1541 could be a good choice too. Need some little bugfix to manage BAM correctly Which version are you talking about? That bug has been fixed like, what, 10 years ago? (By Jackasser himself, who started this tool, then it got forked somewhat inadvertently and never merged again. I guess his version ties his shoes and makes toast every morning by now.) |

I don't know if there are other sources for download, but quoting JackAsser himself:

I thought the version here was fixed TBH. The bits in each byte in the BAM was reversed. Just add a (7-i) somewhere in that code. Should be easy to spot! :)
I have not checked if the exe working properly, but compiling it from sources, bug still alive and kickin'.

Quoting HCLhey guys, just take a deep breath and drop all that anger and envy.. :) I dont see any anger in this thread at all, just a pissing contest. Isnt that what the scene is about? :P
also, my loader > your loader :)
neither krillloader, byteboozer, bitfire, cadaver, or whatever supports the things my proprietary loader supports, so you all suck anyway :P
PS: the cc1541 on csdb is still borked, the fix is easy though. |

Quoting FlaviowebI don't know if there are other sources for download My loader came with an incarnation of cc1541 since day one. A quick check using the validate command suggested it generates the BAM just fine, at least with the last officially released version (v146). |

i wonder how many more years it'll take until those tools are available in a proper repository :) i'd even submit the changes/fixes i made locally :)
and just for the records: all loaders suck. and their coders are fucking weirdos. FACT |
