Release id #220685 : Krill's Loader, Repository Version 192
first of all a big THANK-YOU Krill for the (long-awaited) release!!!
a question about the new feature "PREFER_SPEED_OVER_SIZE":
with this setting disabled loader fits in my ideal place $0200-$03ff (no stack, no screen area, yuppy!), while if I enable it it gets bigger and it doesn't fit.
so based on your testings, how fast is the "potentially faster decompression routine" compared to the default one? |

Quoting DeMOSicFor some reason whenever i try compiling loader/src makefile [...] Build problems aside, have you noticed that there are prebuilt binaries using default settings in the archive? =)
These should cover most regular use-cases.
If not for you, which particular non-default option are you aiming at? |

Quoting KrillQuoting jcomptonFor testing purposes on this fork, can anybody please name a few known-good-on-NTSC Krill loader titles? So far I've only been able to narrow it down to Avatar PSI-5 as a title which "should work, but doesn't." There aren't many IRQ-loading games, and PSI-5 is one of the very few cracks with this loader.
Pretty sure that the loader in Sonic was built with the NTSC-compat option, not so sure for Scramble Infinity (and neither for PSI-5).
In any case, make sure that the stuff works on an actual 1541 and an NTSC C-64 before trying it with an SD2IEC. But if not games, then maybe diskmags can serve as a good test case.
Attitude #7 and Attitude #8 appear to use a variant built with the NTSC compatibility option, and some other magazines might as well. |

Im actually not really sure. I just felt like building for whatever reason. |

Thank you. #7 is poorly-behaved on NTSC generally but this version of #8 looks like a good test disk to add to the rotation. |
