What it does:

-Reloads .dol file using any existing .dol file that supports the PSOLoad v2.0a (must be loaded with PSOLoad v2.0a!)

-Streams image files (.GCM, .ISO) using either S3 loader versions based on the original ACL, or the new S3 GCSim loader.

-Supports 100mbps streaming in earlier versions of S3 loaders (except 1.0b and mgsl, since they reset the BBA).

-utility.dol is included in the .zip archive for setting the BBA to 100mbps and triggering the PSOLoad v2.0a reload function.




What it does NOT do:

-Error correction for dropped packets (may be developed in a later version???).

-Upload .dol files (it reloads ONLY in this version).

-Unpack any .dol loader or PSOLoad executable. If you don't have the loaders and can't use PSOLoad to load them then you wouldn't
 get much use from a program like this anyway.

-Change the IP of the .dol loader file. Anyone can do that in about 2 minutes with a hex editor.




Usage:



*To stream only*

-Upload a .dol loader file using the uploader of your choice (PSUL, PSOLoad)

-Select GameCube Image file using 'IMG' button.

-Set desired delay and cache.

-Select compatibility mode from the menu (based on the loader used in step 1).

-Click 'Stream'.




*To reload only*

-Upload a .dol file that supports the PSOLoad reload feature using PSOLoad v2.0a

-Select .dol file to reload using 'DOL' button.

-Click 'Reload

-Trigger the reload function in the .dol that is running on the GameCube.




*To reload and stream*

-Upload a .dol file that supports the PSOLoad reload feature using PSOLoad v2.0a

-Set the BBA to 100mbps (optional using utility.dol included).

-Select loader to reload using 'DOL' button.

-Check 'Stream After Upload/Reload'

-Click 'Reload'

-Trigger the reload function in the .dol that is running on the GameCube.



Notes:

I have tested the streaming with Sonic MegaCollection and Wario World. Both stream well for me after adjusting the delay setting. MarioKart DD (USA) worked also. This is still an early beta, and lacks some of the error detection/correction that the GCSim loader uses. Increasing delay, however, should compensate for not having error correction (for now anyway).

It should support reloading @ 100mbps without any corruption. 

This program is compatible with the PSOLoad v2.0a reload feature, but it is in no way the same program.


Credit goes to S3 for their loaders. The streaming functionality in this program is based on their protocol. If this program doesn't
work for you then don't blame them.
