HUCAST-Are you experiencing Problems???

[fackue]

It was tried by OmegaDog as a selfbooting, stand-alone disc and his disc worked perfectly. Here's the package he selfbooted:

Thanks LyingWake

m@jk's sbi also reported as working

some other things to note, it is beter to limit the number of files including folders you have in the root of the CD for this emu as having too many causes it to show no roms at all, 256 is safe but you may get away with more, that hasn't been fully tested yet, by me anyway.

Any other known working CD creation methods that work with this emu?

im almost positive i set the limit to 1024, but im not sure about that. I'm home away from my devving computer so i cant check =P.

[Zorlon]

Might have been a fault on my end but I did one CD with APX 900 files and it ended up listing nothing in the menu.

I'll wait till you get a chance to have a look though before trying again.

For now I have everything I want to test so far on 2 selfbootale CD's

[quzar]

it will most definetly show up to 255 im not sure about over that though. ALSO it would take a long time to list them all, so it might be that (even though it only shows 10 names at a time it has to read them all into memory first). IIRC thats why DSNES has the romlist program, because without it it takes forever to scan the CD.

[VampiricS]

Well if roms aren't displaying, prolly because your filename are longer then 8 digits before the extension. Already has been talked about, even in the readme.txt included with the emu.

[Zorlon]

The same files with the same file names are on the 2 CD's I use at the moment so I guess thats ruled out

It seems it can handle 33:3 file names anyway I had already done a test like that and everything ran fine, anything longer though goes onto the otherside of the screen, but still doesn't cause loading problems just doesn't look right.

P.S. Thanks though

[quzar]

ah, cool. I didnt know becasue i burn my test CDs in plain iso9660 standard just to be safe. I guess i should take out that warning, but do you know if it can read spaces in filenames?

[Zorlon]

Yeah it reads spaces fine aswell, even reads (, [ and ! fine aswell

As long as the disc is burnt with the rockridge option, -R.
