This Rom is not supported (yet). DolphinDOS extends the Drive RAM and requires a special cable which has to be connected to the user port.
I friend of mine had this back then ... it was so fast ... unbelievable fast ... I bet it was faster than todays SSDs ... no ? ok ... but at least it felt the same speed .... back then ... 🤓 ... they should bring a DolphinSSD would be a instant buy ... no ?
Oh yes …but there is something faster: https://vintageisthenewold.com/jiffydos-mod-for-dolphin-dos-kernal/
There ia a dolphin dos remake in 2013
The next release will offer support for Dolphin DOS 2:
Here is a brief comparison of different speeders (test case is loading the Goonies game, 167 Blocks):
Based on these numbers, the silver medal goes to AR 7.5. This is astonishing, because AR 7.5 is a simple cartridge that does not require any hardware modification. It loads faster via the standard serial interface than SpeedDOS+ via the parallel cable.
Yes, you are right. But with VirtualC64 I think that I will choose the Dolphin because it is cool and the cartridge slot is free. Thank you, this is really a great update for me. Bye
Available in v4.3 which is now online.
Please reopen if there are any issues with the new cable.
A problem with the old implementation was that the user had to configure multiple drive parameters manually to make custom ROMs work. E.g., Dolphin DOS 3 expects expansion RAM at $6000 whereas the Dolphin DOS 1 and Dolphin DOS 2 expect expansion RAM at $8000.
To cope with this inconvenience, I've implemented a new auto-config option for drives:
When this option is enabled, the drive settings are updated automatically when a known ROM is installed. E.g., when dragging in the Dolphin DOS 3 ROM, the configuration automatically changes to:
With the new option, it's much simpler to use HW-based drive accelerators as it is no longer necessary to remember any hardware details.
BTW, Dolphin DOS 3 will work in the next release, too.
Great ! It will be really simple !
Hello, how can I load this rom (Dolphin DOS) which is a quick accelerator for Drive to work?
