I'd like to know more about what mods work and how to get them to work. Game works great on my M3!

I'm having trouble with saving and loading. I saved at "The Ogre Citadel" and when I tried to load, it said " 'parm4' is not a field ". I tried to just go to the first level and see if I could save there ("The Slipgate Complex"), but when I tried to load that it said " '. 000000"' is not a field ". I'm using a Supercard Lite and have it DLDI patched. On the upside though my settings are saved and loaded properly so I don't have to change the controls each time I play. This is looking great. It's quite an improvement over your first release. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

Right, I'm cooking up a solution for the 'freeing precaches' problem with stormwolf at the moment, so if you've not done so already, PM me your email address and I'll get back to you.
Basically it seems to be a timing problem with the graphics core...

And the people who are getting corrupt saving, that's because there's a bug in your DLDI driver. I'm trying to see if I can hack around it but I'm not having a lot of luck at the moment.

If you want to play mods - it's easy! Rather than starting the game via the command line (with a special -game option) you just put those options in the qdsopts.txt file instead. Read the web page!

Have you patched it with your DLDI driver?

[Wii60_FTW]

Yes, sir.

Maybe this is my problem, though. I'm not sure. You see, I patched it with the M3 SD version. I assume SD is the 1 gig card that goes in there. If so, then yes.

Quake doesn't work. Neither does Hexen. Doom. Nothing. So, maybe I'm doing something wrong. I was more than surprised to see the SNES games working. Weird.

what does your card look like? is it all rectangle or does it have a slanting edge?
compactflash cards are all rectangle, sd have that edge. you could in any case patch the nds file with the m3 compactflash dldi and see if it works (or if your m3 is a slot-1, nds-card sized, type you can try the R4ds dldi which is compatible with the m3)

Huh! The R4 driver worked. errrr uhhhh, was I not supposed to use the m3 SD version? I have an M3 Simply with a small-than-thumbnail-sized stick o ram. I assumed that was SD. Maybe not.

Well, it looks good. Kudos to simon!
