* new basic method for all reads "app-esr hybrid" * replaced imagedrv module with my own (thanks neme for pointing it out, I didn't know it could be coded by sony)
#ESR DISC PATCHER PS2 DOWNLOAD ISO#
* changed SYSTEM.CNF parser, so it will also work with names without ISO ver suffix * lots of other minor fixes, mainly on EE side * updated imagedrv module with corrected version * added additional file "dvd direct off" - it has similar feature that hdloader "mode 3", will disable ESR after first IOP reset (might be necessary for some games)
#ESR DISC PATCHER PS2 DOWNLOAD CODE#
* changed IOP code to wait untill all init/patching is done (no more white screens at beginning I hope) * fixed some bugs on EE side, that caused some games to not load at all (black screen) * restructurized code placement for better (I hope) compatibility It should be now much more compatible (games that were hanging at red screen or after red screen should work fine now) * fixed some timing issues for streaming reads * fixed LoadExecPS2 - more games should work fine (mostly capcom's "anthologies" and "collections") * fixed IOP side initialization for dvdv - should help with some games (SSXrotes Gesicht T should work again) * changes in IOP reset procedure - should help with some games * corrected a typo in "mcard" version that prevented loading anything else than "mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF" * simple splash screen for all versions (some people are selling it: read release post and earlier discussion for details) * fixed timing issues and error passing for "CD style" DVD reads - N06, mostly used in older games * many small fixes on IOP side, everything should be much more realiable (there is at least one game that benefits of it) * fixed a problem that made some absolutely properly converted/patched CD->DVD games not working with ESR, now they should work just fine so for some CD->DVD converted games there will be no need to use DVDScan to do the patching (mediachecks still have to be patched. * yet again new method of handling streams - sound and FMVs should work fine in another few games (well, "Chulip" being one of them ) * lower memory usage on EE side and (what's more important) on IOP side (~6.5kB less right now) - might make some incompatible or freezing games working * some small changes to get the games that lost compatibility in r9 working again (ie. * replaced some temporary solutions by real ones, thus increasing stability, I guess * now it should work with any other valid media than PS2DVD and DVDV - though, I can't find use for that * rewrote IOP code to use a little bit less memory
* fixed a bug that caused read callbacks to be called more times that they should (thus making the game think, some data is ready, while the read operation wasn't even issued - GT3 PAL) * changed stream handling to make some old games working (Onimusha: Warlords) - but for some games it will need additional IOP memory * some minor changes to make future compiling and management easier (also necessary to simplify GUI version a lot) * added synchronous mode and media type spoofing for EE (accessible only by GUI version) * corrected some stack pointer problems on EE side * it doesn't matter anymore if ESR is launched directly from FMCB or through uLE (KYA: Dark Lineage, V-Rally 3, maybe some more games) * changed once again EE streams (Ape Escape 2, Gitaroo Man, maybe more) * halved memory usage on IOP side (some new games should work, like Melty Blood: Act Cadenza)
