Krill Loader & Open borders

I have problems while loading with Krills loader and at the same time have open upper & lower borders. As soon as i start to load the borders starts to flicker.

Note: i don't do anything else in the interrupt, just opening the upper & lower border.

Anyone have a clue why ?

maybe i will add some code for the load under IO option, so the loader will have two getblock loops, one with and one without $01 writes, and choose either depending on the destination of the block to be downloaded from the drive.

please, that might even allow me to use a non hacked version of the loader =)

Although, memory constraints aside, it may just be faster to load to another area, then do a quick memcopy via irq in segments (would take a few frames or so) which may be faster then loading directly to IO perhaps.

Great to have the feature of detection and adjust loader accordingly however instead of two loaders

Effectively a few hours of work. I'll be on vacation for the next two weeks, but there'll be time to code. But two weeks should be alright, i hope? :)

Heh, is your modification doing exactly that?

But for the next time, please tell me such things so i can add it to the code base and other users can benefit from it as well.
