They even have the CF spinning down :S well the game doesn't work at least

MSD and me have already got Aleste2 working from HDD.
I'm still busy with Firehawk but that one has some more patching to do.

Readit and Runit are still in development btw you can download v1.03 which includes bad sector detection. Kyokugen will run from HDD. Saving highscores doesn't seem to work but at least you can play the game.

Download v10.3 here www.neardark.nl/downloads/tools/runit103.rar

You need to read the disks with Readit, in v1.03 the error code will be saved as well you never know if a game checks on that.

I would like to know which games spindown the hdd so i can adapt readit to do the patching as wel.

SMD: Thanks for your efforts, but Kyokugen already worked from HDD since READDISK.COM and START.COM

I found it weird indeed that I couldn't save the high scores...
