@+oners: thanks I feel honored!
New JST version in the zone!!
New v5.0 (beta) Features:
- works with 68000/kick1.3 (tested with WinUAE)
- no more black screen on quit even on kickstart 1.3
- For Kickstart 1.3, command line options are:
SLAVE,USERDATA/K,LOADDIR/K,EXECUTE/S,NOQUIT/S,NTSC/S,PAL/S,QUITKEY/K,TRAINER/S,PRELOAD/S,QUIET/S,NOCACHE/S,NOFAST/S,
JOYPAD/S,HDLOAD/S,LOWMEM/S,DELAY/S,BUTTONWAIT/S,LEAVECACHES/S,NOTRAPHANDLER/S,TEST/S,VERBOSE/S,
NOVBRMOVE/S,FORCEWHD/S
- fixed a long-time bug in whdload emulation, that allows 68000/ECS CPUs to run slaves
- also works with high-end CPUs, just like the previous v4 versions, with their problems (MMU stuff is not so great,
directory scan tends to lock up sometimes, and all the reasons that made me give up JST in the first place...)
Example of use:
jst robocop.slave LOADDIR=data
jst battlesquadron.slave FORCEWHD
Limitations (I won't do anything to fix them):
- most WHDLoad kickstart-emulated games / kickfs won't work
- XPK pack is not supported: please decrunch all XPK data files/diskfiles before using
- In kick1.3, LOADDIR will also set SAVEDIR (JST-only feature) to avoid confusion. It was not such a good idea to separate LOAD & SAVE directories...
=> in case of problems, just put all data files in the .slave directory, and avoid LOADDIR
Limitations (I'll try to fix them):
- some WHDLoad slaves crash/lockup: report them, I'll try to do something
