Very handy while testing  Code is 100% stable now on ST/F30/TT, very minor things to change and we're ready.

Average time to "uls" a title is.... about 10 minutes  [Not counting 030 patching]

ULS is now out of the "test phase" and in actuall use on our next run of releases

Already working:

F1GP - HD FileSystem Installable *with HD save/load & working File Selector Box* (So don't bother Cacking up err GAGing up your drives)

DragonBreed
Moonshine Racers
Street Fighter II
Crackdown
Pro Powerboat Simulator
The Untouchables

All with quit to desktop and other neato features.

ULS3 - Accept no gac software!

He is researching for readonly harddisk drivers to improve his work...guess that tells a lot :>

FFLS has no WRITE mode, and for very good reason.  There is no way you can guarantee direct-to-disk writing to a file-system partition isn't going to obliterate the partition, while executing "driver" code under a game environment.  There are simple way too many variables involved.

Superiour knew it, and we know it.

ULS operates under a TOS shell, executing disk IO via the system's boot-driver, in a clean and known environment (Which is why you don't have to re-partition your drives or make dodgy RAW partitions). V3 vastly improves on previous versions as far as speed and memory use are concerned.

Out of our 10 or so "Test Phase" titles, only 1 needs more than 1Mb - And that game needs 1Mb to run anyway (from the original) so a little overhead for ULS can't be blamed for this!

As GGN said the other day, BRACE YOURSELVES, you're going to see some titles coming soon (In fact, several are ready now, we're just awaiting the cracktro for them) with previously impossible to implement features*, all thanks to the ULSv3 core

*One, in particular, aimed directly at STOT participants

Rephrase that... I'm getting impatient for the onslaught of new cracks that'll follow the release of ULS3!

Cool!   

Well, I'm halfway through with this as well ... will need a few more days.
But it seems to be working fine here, too. 

Will the ULS 2.0 fixed titles be re-released under 3.0 too?

Let's see a screen grab of the user frontend - you know, the intro that players will see when loading the game... Any changes?

Oh, and talking of front ends I have to say that I really like the clean interface on Klaz's fixes - simple and informative.  But SHW's are still the best tho'!

Has to be better than both the system font it currently has, and the crap pile of pixels I threw in the bin last weekend because it was so ugleh

Variation? Where's the predictability in that?

When I was young, one waveform was enough, and we were happy to get that.

Look, I only just changed the font. I can't handle all this sudden newness. It's too much!!

Thanks for that I'm gonna update my interface at some point, but as CJ said, lets get some games out!

Shw

Really looking forward to this guys and a proliferation of releases.cutting edge work in 2008.GREAT

Apologize if this was already mentioned elsewhere. 

Will ULS3 work with any HD driver (e.g. ICD, HD Driver, Atari's, etc)?

I am really excited about the ability to exit a game.   Would make it great for me to make a menu front end to select various games and launch them, and be able to come back to the menu when the game is exited.

Everything about ULS3 sounds awesome.  Looking forward to its release!  Keep up the great work guys.

Sounds great.  I use ICD on  my Mega STE and HDDRIVER on my TT and Falcon.  Although the Falcon seems to have a dead IDE drive in it (I can hear it clicking on powerup).

I may look into a CF->IDE setup for it.  Depending on how easy to find and cheap a hard drive is.
