Thanks shmibs.  I think it's from before you time here, which would explain the lack of seeing it.  Also, 255 posts, nice.

No, in order for Sir's program to make the program have an image in Mirage, Axe must compile it for Nostub. :)
Yeah that's what I thought. I just was surprised it would actually work.

Nostub doesn't really have a header, so all you'd have to do is add the hex :)

I'm actually curious how some programs manage to show up in Mirage without exiting when run from the homescreen.

One type of Ion header works both ways, right? That's the one Axe is using.

I think so, but Ion doesn't have icons.

You mean when running the game from homescreen you end up in Mirage afterward????

No, I mean that Mirage lists them in the shell, but they can still be run with Asm( from the homescreen.  Most MirageOS programs will exit immediately upon running from the homescreen.

I don't think so.  The MirageOS header is designed to exit when run.

Ah ok, like Doors CS, then (Supersonic Ball exits when compiled for DCS, when ran from the home screen without even running Doors CS first)

As for Ion games, I know some ran from home screen, but most crashed, like Ztetris on OS 1.12. On 1.13 or later, it did not always crash but it did weird stuff.

Yeah, the MirageOS header starts with a RET, so running them from the homescreen makes them quit immediately. Unfortunately, some Ion games don't have that protection. But Ion games compiled with the compatibility header should work in all shells. SirCmpwn: Did the game really have a Mirage icon? In that case, maybe you had CalcUtil or something installed...

I encountered a Ion game once that didn't work in Ion, only in MirageOS. it was weird x.x. The author said he never could figure out, I think. It was called Final Fantasy v1.198.

Weird O.o Maybe a bug in Ion?

EDIT: Or maybe he used a MOS routine and forgot that it didn't work in Ion :P
