Show files accessed on disc

Open delacroix0815 opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

It would be nice if there was an (debug?) option for flycast for displaying the files which are being accessed on the dreamcast disk / image. I already compiled the /dev branch from git but i don't know if it is possible already / at all.

The ISO filesystem on the disc is only used by the HLE bios to locate, load and run the 1ST_READ.BIN boot file. Apart from that the disc is only accessed by the game using sector numbers. To do what you want, you'd need to map each sector to the corresponding file, and display this information at runtime. You can look at reios/reios.cpp:reios_locate_bootfile() and imgread/isofs.h for hints.
