The Russian coder SWAT just upgrade your operating system with major improvements. Within list:)

- File System SD Card is now exempt from the limit of 8.3, you can use long file names and file names in Russian. And the library itself to work with the FAT has been updated.
- File Manager is updated. Added new features work with files (archiving, extracting, renaming), and also supported more formats to open or load files, if necessary, load the appropriate module.
- Updated DreamShell desktop. Added icon for the console.
- Fixed modules mp3 and ogg, now when loaded the console commands appear to play these formats, as well as their support is implemented in the file manager.
- Added a module from the VC/DC 0.2, but it is not yet working correctly, it's hoped in time for release, still need to defer to the next.
- Added commands gzip and bzip2 for work with archives.
- The cursor in the GUI can now be changed at any time.
- Add new events in the xml < body > - "onopen", "onclose", "onunload".
- Path in xml can now be relative. And as well as the possibility to set the working directory for DreamShell.
- Now DreamShell can be loaded directly from SD card using the "DreamShell from SD Loader".
- Added module "sdiso". When his loaded, added the command in the console "sdiso", which can run ISO images from SD cards, as this module is built into the file manager so you can start clicking on the ISO image file.
- Some minor bug corrections and code optimization. New and modified some of the old API functions.

Quick Questions:

1) Homebrew Support ? either from CDs or ISOs?
2) What Are the Limits on a SD Cards Size
3) Can It make a ISO of my GD-ROM*
4) Can I Use it with a Standard Controller? (i dont own mouse or Keyboard)

*=NOTE: I Understand about Piracy and understand it's illegal, but what i want isn't piracy!! I'm wanting to be a Game Dev. in the future, and i dont like piracy, i (like about everyone here) just want to get more life from the DC, i mean when the lasers gone, its gone! :( but please understand, i Just want a Backup, nothing illegal, just a File of games i have :)

--- almost like a disclaimer for that one litttle star :P

Yes, support homebrew. Make ISO 9660 with unscrambled 1ST_READ.BIN and run it.



2) What Are the Limits on a SD Cards Size


Tested 2GB Card, more size not tested.



3) Can It make a ISO of my GD-ROM*


While no, but good idea!



4) Can I Use it with a Standard Controller? (i dont own mouse or Keyboard)


Yes, mouse is emulated analog controller.

I have made a simple app for DreamShell that will allow you to dump a GD to your SD card.
(All it does is launch DC SDRip from the desktop. It will need 5-key soft-reset to return to DreamShell.)

All you need to do is extract into your /apps/ folder:

This will work fine untill SWAT can implement this function into DreamShell...:thumbup:

I have the SD connected. I load dreamshell 4 beta 3 and then I search alice dreams iso (aliced.iso) in the SD. I load the iso and then that message appears.

Now I have the sdisold.dat file in the SD with the name aliced.iso inside.

Can't load the iso.

What am I doing wrong?

Which version of DreamShell 4.0 beta 3 are you using?


I used version DreamShell 4.0 Beta 3 (Form SD Loader) to create the video.

DreamShell_4.0.0_Beta3_(From_SD_loader).7z (http://www.dc-swat.net.ru/ds/download/4.0/DreamShell_4.0.0_Beta3_(From_SD_loader).7z)

Burn DS_SD_Loader.cdi and put directory DS to your SD Card.
