28/02/2005:::GCOS Version 1.2::::::::::::::
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Whatsnew in 1.2:

- Auto detect region free for both boot dvd and boot backup
- Cleaned the menus up
- Change initial menu video mode (and save it for use everytime)


Info:
Finally a .dol with all the features!
With the aid of Anaconda, we now finally have an open source way to boot
all region Game backups regardless of whether you have a Viper GC! In this first
revised version of GCOS there is NTSC, PAL & PAL60 backups fully supported.
There is multiple Game Backup supported via http server, Original
Game Booting and also SD card file booting.


LiTe Version:
The LiTe Version has multiregion original boot, multiregion backups boot and boot from SD. We'll slowly add all the features of the Full version, but it requires optimizing to take up the least amount of space
LiTe only offers multiregion boot of ORIGINALS via having the original disc in at boot time (put it in before you turn it on)


Features:
Play backups and originals from every region!
Backup Games using your BBA and any Internet Browser
Upload and execute .dol and .elf using netcat (port 4000


Known Bugs:
There seems to be a clock bug where the clock doesn't change time at all. We're working on fixing it, but currently this will affect all games that use the RTC (animal crossing).


Future:
Bug identifying and fixing currently, LiTe version sorted for you Viper GC users so you're not left out.
Implementing more features into LiTe would be nice, but size issues are going to make that hard... Feel free to chip in with fixes
A GX re-write may be on the cards soon enough, but the old skool feel of the current menus is fun for now...


Distant Future:
Memcard backup (not so likely)
??? - You control our future as well as us, so show us what you can do


Compile notes:
Yes, the source is included this time tongue.gif

There will be a main.elf and a main_high.elf.
Don't worry about main_high.elf for now.. just worry about getting main.elf
to boot. You will need to do powerpc-elf-objcopy -R .comment main.elf main_ok.elf.
then doltool -d main_ok.elf.
