figured i could get some responses here:

hey dwedit do you think that maybe you could hide all those appvars and provide a tool in the shell for managing them? i think that would be cool...

also tvf doesn't work right in crunchyos...don't know why...

crunchy = no writeback..

What's this about no writeback?

gimpynerd · Post by **gimpynerd** » Sat 14 May, 2005 2:06 am

there is writeback to the appvars and if the prog is unarchived right?

what do you think about my suggestion dwedit?

I don't see a reason to hide savegames.

AR people like me don't like all those varibles in the memory menus...it's not that hard to hide them...and a tool in the shell would be cool anyway.

i use crunchy unless im playing TVF...it sorts programs faster

I personaly like CrunchyOS better than Mirage. I like the menu layout alot better.

Is Dwedit the creator of CrunchyOS?! Dang! Every big programmer is on these forums!

I've never tried any OS other than Mirage.

Yes he made CrunchyOS.

OK, no writeback = if Phoenix is archived then Crunchyos will NOT save your data in the program. To my knowledge there are 2 practical ways of saving progress in ASM games:
1) Appvar
2)Writeback ---Does not work in CrunchyOS.

neither does mirageos...it just unarchives the program which makes it garbage collect more and wears out the flash...

only if you try to run archived programs

CrunchyOS creates patch files as separate appvars which contain the difference between the original program and write-backs made to the program file.

Apparently that's not good enough for some people.

Probably the only people complaining about it also run mirage.
