Release id #226124 : Krill's Loader, Repository Version 194
A new version is coming asap.
Apart from the bugfixes (and slightly smaller memory footprint), it will come with these new features:
- support for proper operation of track/sector display hardware mods
- dirload call to load the directory as a raw binary file
- native CMD HD support
What else would be on YOUR wishlist? =) |

can it load a file by index yet? ie not require a full filename, but use sth like lda #$42 to load "42*"? |

Quoting chatGPZcan it load a file by index yet? ie not require a full filename, but use sth like lda #$42 to load "42*"? Sort of. If you set FILENAME_MAXLENGTH to 2, e.g., any filename characters beyond these two are ignored. If that's what you mean? |

Fixed all the known bugs, now working on a new feature to load files via a directory image in C-64 memory (loaded with the new dirload call).
Idea is to avoid seeks to the directory track if you REALLY need the speed (and have a somewhat random file-access order), while remaining compatible with the bigger non-1541 drives. :)
For a future release, i added "multi-drive loading support" to the list, to reduce or avoid disk-juggling (not so important for demos, but probably quite handy for games and diskmags). Just had an idea how to squeeze it in, but it's a complex procedure. |
