This is an attempt to make wLaunchELF isr compatible with the Namco system 246 and system 256.

Changes:

  • Flash IOPRP with homebrew IOMAN/FILEIO
  • use rom MCMAN/MCSERV to allow access to security dongle
  • use XMC RPC instead of MC RPC to avoid RPC hangs
  • use libpadx instead of libpad to avoid RPC hangs
  • load rom CDVDFS driver to avoid RPC hangs
  • special checks to avoid security dongle bootfile overwrite

CHECKS BEFORE MERGING

  • it boots
  • it can access usb
  • it can access ps2 memory card
  • it can access security dongle

OPTIONAL CHECKS

  • it can access HDD
  • it can access network
  • it can access disc

by the time this code executed. the program would already hang from binding to MC RPC after DONGLEMAN failed to load (bc secrman is not arcade version)

There should be no harm, as running this on retail hw will just result on a blackscreen when program tries to bind into MCSERV RPC
this should avoid hangs, since onboard sio2man cannot fulfill the import dependencies of homebrew dongleman
