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?

For 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?

For 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.
