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... |

forgive my ignorance but isnt IDE-fix == use kernal-loader again?
(if not, why not? That would have been clever :) |

Yes, and especially not using serial bus related calls (ACPTR/TALK/LISTEN and such) |

... And who has enough knowledge for this feature? |

Just my personal opinion, as long as MMC64 doesn't support the standard kernal calls it's not worth it hacking support into games especially for it. Don't get me wrong, Dreamload is a cool loader and MMC64 loading on it seems like a cool (if a bit hackish and obscure) feature, but its memory footprint isn't especially the smallest.. |

Still a generic loader interface not relying on the KERNAL API would be quite feasible. You exchange a loader file on the disk/image and it would make stuff more compatible/faster/whatever. |

Many people have that. None of them has time. |

Krill: In deed, this would be extremly cool. I'm afraid this should have been there 20 years earlier ;)
cadaver: obscure? :D Because of DFI-files, or why? |

erh.. how much memory DO you need for the MMC compatible dreamload? |
