DreamShell 4.0.0 Beta 3 is out!
Module VC/DC is bad, sorry, I do not know why and did not manage to resolve this issue prior to Beta 3. Can OneThirty8 help and make a VC / DC module (you need to remove unused code).

But there is good news, such as the launch of ISO from SD Card

Redownload DreamShell, if you want that module sdiso faster loading an ISO image.

_________________

What kind of ISO can be loaded? GDI????

ISO 9660
1ST_READ.BIN be unscrambled.

Do not expect much from sdiso, this experimental version.

ISO 9660, interesting choice because its not normal "selfboot" structure.
Existing images will need to be modified specifically for this?

So, if I make an iso with mkisofs, it would usually look like this:


But, to launch iso from DreamShell does "-C @MSINFO" still need to be used? What about IP.BIN?
I will make some tests with some unscrabmled binaries...

Any possibility this could ever launch katana binaries?

Awesome this just keeps getting better, maybe the bst thing to do here would be to support CDI image file in the future.
Is there any feature you would want us to test specifically swat?

Great job by the way...

CDI's advantages as a format are only really relevant to burning things on CD-R.

ISO 9660 more light and easy to use.
Exiting images not need modified.



IP.BIN and @MSINFO.TXT not needed






Try it, i'm not tested.





Thanks, maybe in the future i make support for CDI images.
Testing all.

tovarich, dreamshell is getting better and better. Keep up the good work!!!

Can existing homebrew be integrated into dreamshell? (like launch an emulator/game and then exit back to dreamshell)

This could be done, if we set up some parameters at exit();

You need to compile your game or application as a module for DreamShell, then you can run and exit it as long as you want.
For the beauty and convenience, you can make it as an applications.

it gets better and better... nice to see the dreamcast homebrew scene still so alive!
btw, how to build one of those SD adapters or where to buy?

Does not work here… The green loading screen appears, tries to load the 1ST_READ.BIN, then the console reboots.
I do have the latest sdiso file. It fails with either 1ST_READ.BIN scrambled or unscrambled.

Am I doing something wrong ?

1ST_READ.BIN must be unscrambled.
You use the latest version of the module sdiso? http://www.dc-swat.net.ru/news/15/
Older versions were with bugs.

_________________

Ok, I didn't have the latest sdiso in fact

It works now. Damn, that's fast !

By the way, could it be possible to map the GD-Rom to a directory on the SD card, instead of an iso image ?
It would be way easier to add files this way.

This is not easy to implement, much easier to use ISO.
Besides, I'm quite short of memory.
