Zerosquare Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 (old posts are there, I chose to create a new topic to have a central location for download and comments) I've just updated my modified version of Bastian Schick's and friends BJL uploader program, called lo_inp, which supports Windows NT/2000/XP. Support for Linux has been (re)-added (by special request from SebRmv , and minor tweaks have been made. Enjoy, and please give feedback ! lo_inp.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovalbugmann Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Thanks Zerosquare!, I'm just now getting used to using bjl and learning about programming the Jaguar and I am sure this will be of great use to me under Windows XP & 98 which is what I have right now. Although there are advantages, of course, to using either a Felix, Rapier or Alpine development system like probably debugging, I'm intrigued with how Matthias uses only BJL to develop such highly polished titles as Double Feature #1. Your work is really appreciated! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaData Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 If lo_inp supports Windows NT/2000/XP, it does not support Windows 95/98 then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 If lo_inp supports Windows NT/2000/XP, it does not support Windows 95/98 then?It does support Win95/98 as well as NT/2000/XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggn Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Bumping an old thread, I know, but I just tested it on my old winxp box and the 8bit loader worked without errors, so thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion_ Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I tried it under Windows 7 64bits and it didn't worked at first. I had to update the inpout32.dll file with a more updated one. Just download this package http://www.highrez.co.uk/scripts/download....=InpOutBinaries Start the "InstallDriver.exe" file in the Win32 folder. Replace the dll file from lo_inp by the one in the Win32 folder of the package (it's compatible 32/64bits) I recently found out that virtualjaguar only support .abs file with header, and not .bin file with no header. But lo_inp doesn't support .abs file (it doesn't find any header) So I was wondering if the .abs file support can be added ? Has anyone some abs header information ?

SCPCD Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 ABS header : - Magic Number = 0x601B - TEXT segment size (4 Bytes) - DATA segment size (4 Bytes) - BSS segment size (4 Bytes) - Symbol table size (4 Bytes) - ? (4 Bytes) - TEXT base address (4 Bytes) - Flags = 0xFFFF - DATA base address (4 Bytes) - BSS base address (4 Bytes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion_ Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Thank you SCPCD ! I modified the original package to add ABS file support. I didn't tested it already and I don't know if the code is correct, but hopefully http://onorisoft.free.fr/jag/lo_inp.zip (I also updated to the latest version of inpout32.dll) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion_ Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I was wondering, if a website with all the resources for jag dev exist ? Some years ago I was a bit confused, and didn't know where to start or where to find all the docs and dev tools There should be a page with all the link to lo_inp for BJL transfer, sln and smac for deving on modern OSs, link to tutorials and jagv8 doc etc... That would be nice for newcomers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion_ Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 oh well ... nevermind ... Nice job Zerosquare By the way, I just tested my new version of lo_inp, it worked with some .abs file I tried ! I hope I didn't do any mistake in the code ^^ I just UPXed the executable because my antivirus program was detecting a virus in the original exe file ... (heuristic detection sux :/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion_ Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 CAREFUL: IT DOESN'T WORK !! I thought I had a bug yesterday in my program, but it was my new version of lo_inp that wasn't working, it seems not to transfer the whole program and datas are missing at the end ! I don't know why, maybe if someone find where I did a mistake, the code I added is at the end of the file in the function relocate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggn Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Bumpety bump Since I'm in the process of adding BJL support to JiFFI I thought I'd get the uploader from this thread for tests. Then I noticed Orion_'s abs enabled version which would suit my purposes better. CAREFUL: IT DOESN'T WORK !! I thought I had a bug yesterday in my program, but it was my new version of lo_inp that wasn't working, it seems not to transfer the whole program and datas are missing at the end ! I don't know why, maybe if someone find where I did a mistake, the code I added is at the end of the file in the function relocate. Just had a look at the code - might I suggest uploading the whole file minus the header (which is $a8 bytes for $601b coff header and $24 bytes for $150 abs header)? Perhaps the header has wrong sizes stored! I'd test if I could, but no PC with parallel cable here! (BTW the BJL uploader for ST that I patched for COFF some time ago does exactly this and works fine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
