[Request] MMF internal Virtual drive

[Tiles]

Ah, a shame. Was nevertheless worth a try

RAM Disk!! an extension that initializes and sets up a RAM disk would work like the HDD but is in RAM and is Much faster.

[Benicle]

Yeah that was the idea... Except it can't be done, at least not in the way we'd hoped :P.

Well, to have it act completely like a real drive (and require no changes to extensions) it would have to install a ramdisk driver into the host operating system, which would mean it would need admin rights to run.

It's not going to happen.

As Jamie said, it's impossible to let current extension be compatible with a virtual drive without writing on the HDD.

TwiTerror, I like that some extensions be able to save/load file to/from strings because (if the data of the extension can be serialized in a string), a string can be happend to another or stored in an array/associative array/etc. ...

surely it is possible, MMF can control access and in/out files (like in vitalize) so set like a environmental value for a tempory fake drive (Thinstall can do this with ease, and passes it on to all lower down applications it runs, hell even sandboxie does this) so it is definately possible, just requires to hook custom DLL files into the MMF exe and / or extensions to replace saving functions

[James]

MMF can't normally control access in or out of files- there's a reason extensions have to be rewritten for Vitalize!

[Tiles]

But what about those vitalized extensions?

[neat_Kliker2]

Can't normally, but it can be done would be something for MMF3
