Note: None of the N64 Disk Drive-related instructions involve ROM DMA (including DMA to ROM in the drive). In fact, the instructions are designed on the assumption that ROM DMA will not be carried out. Please see the "Programming Cautions" section of the N64 Disk Drive Programmer's Guide to learn more about this.
Explanation
It gets the disk ID of the current N64 Disk Drive disk from the system area of the disk. Each disk has its own personal number. For details, please see the "Disk ID" section of the N64 Disk Drive Programmer's Guide.
Whenever a MEDIUM_MAY_HAVE_CHANGED error is returned upon execution of any function, you must call the LeoReadDiskID function to check the disk ID. For details about the processing sequence, please the "Error-Handling" section of the N64 Disk Drive Programmer's Guide.
Nothing needs to be set for the command block (cmdBlock) argument. When processing of this function ends, an error code is returned to the message queue. An error could arise, so the programmer needs to check this error code. The following are some possible errors, their causes, and the actions that should be taken:
- LEO_ERROR_QUEUE_FULL - There is no space in the command queue. The queue size
should be enlarged. Refer to LeoCreateLeoManager for
details.
- LEO_ERROR_COMMAND_TERMINATED -
The LeoClearQueue or LeoReset function was issued, so this function (LeoReadDiskID) did not execute.
- LEO_ERROR_DEVICE_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE -
The main reason for this error is an improper physical
connection, however, there is a possibility that the
drive itself is not functioning.
- LEO_ERROR_COMMAND_PHASE_ERROR
This error occurs when the N64 Disk Drive status is not good.
- LEO_ERROR_POWERONRESET_DEVICERESET_OCCURED
This error appears when the drive is reset. The
possible cause is that the connector was reconnected after
it had been out of place. This makes subsequent N64 Disk Drive actions unstable, so you should advise the users to reset the drive.
- LEO_ERROR_MEDIUM_NOT_PRESENT -
The disk has not been inserted.
- LEO_ERROR_MEDIUM_MAY_HAVE_CHANGED -
A disk was inserted after being removed once. It is
uncertain if the game should be continued by using the
newly inserted disk. If this error occurs, call
LeoReadDiskID and check the newly inserted disk to find out what it is.
- LEO_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_MEDIUM_INSTALLED -
This error occurs when a disk that has an unsupported type is inserted. This error is quite unlikely.
- LEO_ERROR_DRIVE_NOT_READY -
This error occurs when the disk is not operating or
when it is not stable.
- LEO_ERROR_NO_REFERENCE_POSITION_FOUND -
This error occurs when the servo data cannot be
read or when an abnormality is found.
- LEO_ERROR_DIAGNOSTIC_FAILURE -
This error occurs when an abnormality is found on
the drive or when the track cannot be traced.
- LEO_ERROR_NO_SEEK_COMPLETE -
This error occurs when seeking cannot be done due
to seeking time out or on-track time out.
- LEO_ERROR_DATA_PHASE_ERROR -
This error occurs when data transmission did not
finish in the provided time.
- LEO_ERROR_UNRECOVERED_READ_ERROR -
This error occurs when the data could not be read
clearly because of a flaw on the disk.
- LEO_ERROR_TRACK_FOLLOWING_ERROR -
This error occurs when the drive head slips off the track
while reading.
For more information about the errors that may be returned, their causes, and ways to deal with them, please see the "Error-Handling" section of the N64 Disk Drive Programmer's Guide.
The return value is -1 if Leo Manager has not been created, and 0 if it has. Usually no check is necessary.
Example
LEOCmd cmdBlock;
LEODiskID diskID;
u32 error;
�..
LeoReadDiskID (&cmdBlock, &diskID, &diskQ);
osRecvMesg(&diskQ, (OSMesg *)&error,
OS_MESG_BLOCK);
