Release id #167152 : Krill's Loader, repository version 164

If no problems emerge (i know they will, but anyways)... I can explain a bit about the full on-the-fly GCR block read+decode+checksumming.

The biggest win is almost certainly from allowing the head to settle during the transfer.


Agreed on this. In my loader Sparkle, which will never be as versatile as Krill's, I think I am going to settle (huh) with the best of both worlds. I.e. I will time the second half-track step in the transfer loop about 12 bycles after the first one to allow enough time for the head to settle. Call it the Spartan Shrydar Step. :))

P.S. I was aware of the mysterious Shrydar's identity. Google knows everything. :)


We just don't know who you are, my Hungarian fellow. :)

python has the same problems, i think (is it a single exe requiring no install?) (the point is: right now "our" dev environment is completely freestanding requiring no msys or cygwin or any of that, and no installing either - breaking that is not an option :))

the problem with ca65 are at least nucrunch and tinycrunch, those will not build.


One possibility might here to use Pyinstaller with option --onefile to create an .exe from the .py.

Using the UPX packer you can minimize the filesize of the .exe.

Apparently, this does seem to exist: http://winpython.github.io/ - "The easiest way to run Python [...] out of the box on any Windows PC, without installing anything!", "WinPython lives entirely in its own directory, without any OS installation" and similar claims. There's some small print, though, so YMMV*.

Expect lots of Windows users to bemoan that their assorted snake-oil protection suite puts it into quarantine.

Perhaps 'someone' should port tc_encode (the tinycrunch encoder) to c64? :D


Also, it's worth noting that the build issues with nucrunch and tinycrunch under newer versions of ca65 were fixed some time ago now.

True, but UPX is completely optional here.

Another hint: in case the target is to run the Python script using wine - the wine project only recently added the required libraries for the latest Python3. Not all Linux Distros have updated their packages yet.
