Crystal Chip Software Release 15!

**The Central Scrutinizer** · 07-19-2005,12:21 AM

Seems reports of their death were greatly exaggerated.

PLEASE NOTE: Release 15(BM v1.6) is considered BETA SOFTWARE. We expect bugs to occur and are
aware that the application menus are slow. These issues will be resolved in the next release
once we get more feedback.

A large number of changes have occured in BootManager though operation is virtually identical to
previous versions. BM has gone from v1.4 to v1.6 since v1.5 was an internal beta that never
made release and quite a few changes occured between then and now. The PBAT interpreter has
been completely redesigned and rewritten, existing PBAT scripts and "MegaPack" application
installers are not compatible with v1.6. The installation system has been changed to allow
easier installation of applications using alternative methods such as ExecFTPs without
requiring you to edit a menu list. Examples will follow within the next 1-2 days.

New Features:
- DVD+R DL support allows you to use DVD+R DL medias with your software. Please note that
many DVD+R DL medias are not very good quality and result in movies skipping and games
crashing on occasion. This is not something we can fix but hopefully as DVD+R DL becomes
more popular the quality of the medias will improve.

- Application Association: this system allows you to associate certain media types(for example
a disc containing Sega Genesis ROMs) with certain applications(like PGEN) so that they may
be automatically executed when an associated media type is inserted.

- "REDIRFILE" command in PBAT interpreter allows you to redirect specific file locations to
another location. This means you can load homebrew applications off memory card without
needing to "hack" them.

- ??? We know there're other things we've added but can't remember everything that's changed.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed ATAD Auto Patcher.
