Thanks for your bugreport, it really helped me to find the problem. Please grab the fixed version here: https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7602&release_id=11984. Btw.: it's 'https' this time because http at BerliOS is under ddos attack at the moment. :(




* Sigh * I hoped that all these problems were gone by now. Does this still happen with the 20061210 release or later? Earlier versions had a nasty bug which made fragmented files fail.




Hehe, that's the correct behaviour! Sounds crazy? Just try the Ide64 fix on a plain machine, no ide64 and no speeder like AR or RR. It will crash.
The BMX event is quite big and has some data below the IO area at $d000. The 'fix' just calls the load vector to get the data into the memory. It will only work with a speeder which loads all data into ram (like AR or RR).

I could fix this issue by turning the dfi plugin into a ramloader, but this would break some old games which load the color ram at $d800 with the
kernal routines. So I guess it's better to forget the ide64 version and take the TAC version instead: http://rrforum.ath.cx/viewtopic.php?p=1288#1288

WTF?

It's a strange world, I can't get the glorious motive behind picking on a small open source platform. Or... is this already Vista's network code?

Many thanks for this update! With it, California Games saves the highscores just fine! Also, all events work in this version

It this new DFIPLUGIN can works with Action Replay ?

Hmm, I guess not!?


Btw: Hey, is there any chance for sum new games that works without RR?

Ah, so it works! That's good news, thanks for your feedback. Fixing the loader is one thing, but I'm too clumsy to get a hiscore in most games (squish'em is the one and only exception). So this saving stuff is often not properly tested. :)




No, sorry. IIRC the AR has only 8k of ram, which is just one bank. The kernal mode already uses 2 banks for code and 1 for buffers. Please design a mmc64 with some ram onboard! I would buy one for sure.




Hmm, maybe. But we need a good title with no hiscore and nothing to save (like gi joe). Any suggestions?

barbarian from remember should be quite simple for that. for you, not for me that is

how far is implementing the f-keys for loading etc?

also another suggestion for the cbmimager would be to open .d64 files to select the .prg´s you want to add into a dfi file. at the moment you have to extract them with another program first, am i right? or even simpler, if you could open a .d64 and "save as" .dfi?!?

again thanks for the great work!!

I just tried the DFI fixed Turbo Outrun and it works great - high scores included!!

Thanks!

Ed

I've only been able to get this working fully through using the kernal option. Otherwise I have loads of problems, games not working, stopping working etc... This is getting better and better. I was trying to make the .D64 files .dfi files and was using the remember releases. The games worked but I was hoping that they would save as well. No such luck

Any chance of this being implimented in the future or will the high scores only work on IDE fixed games? Also any chance of fixing Salamander so it will work? I get to the main screen and when its loading a level all I get is a black screen.

i was thinking the same. i don´t know nothing about kernal routines but the two major groups (nos/rem) releasing their games with highscore-savers might always use the same way of saving. this is just my guess... once recognized and somewhat changes made to the dfi-plugin someone could save all his highscores to the mmc.

i am only talking about the one-filers with high-saver.

although the rest of the epyx-multi-event-series still not saving right would still need to be fixed more than anything else ... in my opinion, that is

rock on, bacci!!

p.s. do you actually know bugjam personally? he is a retro-computing-buddy of mine and used to work just around the corner from where i live. he was the one who set up a c64-system as a present for me just to get me back into this hobby ... and succeeded - now i own six of them he might be staying in africa for "ärzte ohne grenzen" for a while - i was just wondering, if you knew him..



best regards.

If I'm not mistaken someone is working with IFFL loader/saver for N0S

what does that mean in certain?

Future N0S releases with MMC64 compatibility (no RR needed), whether they will re-release older games with updated loader remains to be seen.

Future...
