Custom Loaders

[Czarnikjak]

Looks good to me!

I did similar a couple of years ago with this and MM and for the sake of it 16K JSW too, with compression I got them down to this:

Title ... New Speed ... Original Speed

JSW = 51s / 3m 4s
MM (SP Version) = 49s / 3m 35s
MM (BB Version) = 49s / 3m 26s
JSW (16K version) = 29s / 1m , 6s

I assume that it wouldn't load correctly at these speeds if real tape cassette was used?

They should, its not insanely fast. A decent recording should be OK. Its not really any "faster" than say the PowerLoad on Incentives G.A.C, its more compression, for instance compressed JSW is 17K and MM is 16K and JSW16K is 7K (approx for each)

Here is again!

Yours are a bit better than mine as you retain the original style of loading screen/text, whereas mine do nothing! Let me know if you want them!

Why is it in that format ?

I've never used a Torrent and likely never will.

My collection:

I thought it is bigger, but when found mp3s in the archive, got the reason why.
Nice loaders though! Are the sources available?

[chixus]

You mean the ASM source ? I got them all, I wrote them, I can send it to you if you like.

[chixus]

It is a magnet, google please to see what it is.

Here is new collection, take look at the screen loading size.

Somehow I missed this collection of custom loaders and I have to say its really awesome.
It's been a long time since I've seen such carefully packaged games with an exceptional speed/stability ratio.
I really like the visual effects in the border, with a brilliant colors overflow.
I couldn't resist comparing your work with the R. Guerra turbo loading scheme, which include a custom Rom replacement, but also has a great 4000 baud rate and recording stability, proven with loading from real audio sources.

Your loaders are 20+ percent faster, I'm guessing mostly because of the compressed blocks plus some headerless parts, since the baud rate seems the same or similar to me.
Do you have a larger collection of games prepared like this, apart from these 30 or so, which I downloaded from your google drive links ?
I also like that most games have a built-in cheat menu, as well as some other visual improvements.
Overall, great job, indeed.
