------------------------------------
video above show normal CD bios with pc-2-neo embedded loading from PC with a game CD present. CD audio tracks play
video above show normal CD bios with pc-2-neo embedded loading from PC with no game CD present
video above shows modded universe bios running on the CD system. In game CD loading and CD audio is not supported but almost everything else works as intended. There are some issues as the video shows.
------------------------------------
As you can see progress has been made since the first video. I Want to point out these videos have not been edited so you get an idea of the current upload speeds through a single joystick port. The unibios and cdbios (with pc2neo embedded) sit in a single 512KB EPROM. We managed this by compressing data on in the original 512KB CD bios. This gives the ability to switch between bios with a switch.
If you have not already guessed the purpose for these bios is not to play games but as a dev tool for homebrew etc. That said the bios does give the ability to load games on a system with broken CD drive.
