This is huge.

After Days, Weeks, Years, Decades. I finally have HDD support to a booting state. Its not 100% there.
Spent last 2 days on it, Finally had break through Friday night, fixed Double Bus Error. Turned out to be an override for filesys exec base that Christophe added when he originally ported E-UAE WIP3. Not easy to find, as you would never expect it. That allowed PSPUAE to boot fully with no errors. Then been trying to debug HDF no booting, it reads file now mounts it and probes it fine. Just nothing else. On 020 3.1 it gives blank screeen and eventually hangs.
However logs show garbage data for 3.1 boot. 1.3 is perfect, correct data etc etc.

I then thought, lets try folders, as they are alot simpler than HDF mounting. Bingo, both 1.3 and 3.1 try to boot. I say try to boot, as in workbench starts to load, then you get setpatch error and program failed, wait for the disk activity.
Log however paints a whole new picture. Explains why HDF is not booting. So now hopefully with fixing folder booting, it will also fix HDF booting. Fingers crossed, this is huge. Well I think so. :)

And I Got it working.  ;D, 21 years in the making, :).


Now working as it should from folders. Will look at HDF's again, folders is good enough, besides PSP is crippled in same way Amiga was, its will not accept files over 2GB.


Going to take a break now and play Starship Troopers and Dune.
