GAMEDISK V13 with Xploritto and Kraken Loader and POP files coming today!

Zockeromi · August 26, 2019, 3:20pm

cool
Do all games have a pop file by now?

Hanski · August 26, 2019, 3:42pm

No, not all, because that needs actions from the developer.

Crabator game (under 0_action) is broken, do not load

Hanski · August 31, 2019, 8:06pm

Looks really good!

Only problem I see is that it’s great when viewed in list mode, but in the other mode ( that I prefer ) the folder names are not really easy to go thru…

Suggestions?

FManga · September 1, 2019, 6:54am

Are the duplicates (pop+bin) in the arcade folder intentional?

jonne · September 1, 2019, 2:13pm

No. Mistake.

@bl_ackrain Kraken loader failing to start after playing Planet Escape. Haven’t found out why

And also not able to repeat problem. Investigating

EDIT: reflashed planet_escape.bin , still will not go into loader

EDIT2: reflashed with crabator.bin, will not go into loader

EDIT3: reflashed with Xploritto.bin … SD card initialization failed. Maybe my SD card just died

EDIT4: confirmed, old legacy PFFS loader can not read the card either. Card is visible on PC, so I do not know what has happened

EDIT5: it seems my dear little 4-yr old has dropped this pokitto too many times (today again, from 1.5 m height to hard floor). The SD card cradle is broken.

MYSTERY SOLVED

I just bought a fresh SD card and will wait for the next gamedisk

Gamedisk V13 released

Comes with new Kraken loader by @bl_ackrain
Almost all programs have POP files
Games are in folders

This disk contains the new loader. If you have the old loader, the loader will ask update when you go to browse the disk

Thank you so much for putting this together!

Zockeromi · September 4, 2019, 3:33am

Wow, thank you!
Do we have a list which games are missing?

jonne · September 4, 2019, 4:42am

@wuuff reporting sd read problems
@Vampirics reporting weird noises

Please confirm others if you come across weird stuff.

Personally had no issues, all games I tried loaded with no problems

torbuntu · September 4, 2019, 11:28am

The weird issues came after loading my WIP gamejam game Awaken. latest bin here
I noticed it too, but figured it was just my game activating audio and then going back to the loader then had default sounds.

FManga · September 4, 2019, 12:09pm

No issues so far over here either.

HomineLudens · September 4, 2019, 4:32pm

I’d like to pool forum feelings about removing WIP projects from game disk.
Release could benefits of higher quality?
Side effects could also be push developers finish their projects.

- Remove WIP from release.
- Keep everything.

As an alternative measure, would it be possible to just make a WIP folder?

FManga · September 4, 2019, 5:44pm

When someone assembles a Pokitto for the first time and opens up the loader, it’d be good if they were greeted by games that weren’t WIP.
On the other hand, I like having a single zip with all the games, including ones that I might’ve missed.
I think a WIP folder solves both problems nicely.
