The loader does paths as well, not just the root directory. And multiple drives (values 0-3 in D0). It seems the path traversing code does something stupid like replacing ‘/’ characters in the path name with ‘\0’, thus for loading the some file again, you need to provide the full path again. I should have the original source for this somewhere.. I can look it up.

thanks mr.spiv for the tip, i’ll try to kill the OS before starting to seek for files.

@WK where did you dig this?

@scenex the loader seems to use timers for wait loops (sub_103FA), which might make your amy go belly up if OS is running.

thanks, that very relieving to hear 🙂
it was almost driving me crazy yesterday when i was trying to get it to work.

alright, i’ll have a look on conqueror fileloader in the meanwhile.

This clearly isn’t the right version, I’ll try and find the correct one tomorrow for you… until then feel free to use the Conqueror file-loader which definitely works 🙂

thanks for clearing this up WayneK, with the modifications you proposed it assembles now. well, i’m still a bit confused about the recommended usage of this file loader. 1 – lea mfmbuff(pc),a1 ;point to your MFM buffer here 2 – movea.l a1,mfmaddr ;set MFM buffer address for loader 3 – lea filename(pc),a0 4 – lea $30000,a1 5 – moveq #0,d0 6 – bsr.w spivload what parameters in which registers is the loader expecting? i’m asking because i don’t see that the mfmaddr is being referenced anywhere in the code. is register a1 in line 4 the loadaddress where to file… Read more »

The code is complete, just change dword_7049e to dword_1049e and make off_10496 dc.l 0 instead…seems I was a bit quick sending this to M9, or he has posted an earlier version 😛

scenex

anybody got this piece of code working?
the source doesn’t assemble..

it complains about undefined symbols at:
78 – adda.l dword_7049e,a0
481 – off_10496: dc.l unk_7005c

i just copied it from the website, since the download link is broken.

is the code listing incomplete?
