Dreamcast GDI Compatibility List

[dragoncity]

Ok Swat,perfect!

I downloaded the pack "https://github.com/DC-SWAT/DreamShell/archive/master.zip"
I took juste the folder "build" for have DS folder.

But for an exemple,iso loader is no update...0.5.0 (and black wallpaper..)

So I replace them by the original http://www.dc-swat.ru/download/dc/ds/4.0..._Loader.7z

The rest is up to date?

I saw:
https://github.com/DC-SWAT/DreamShell/co...ster/build

Updated build of BIOS Flasher modules

What is it change?

For my experience,many times I have an error when flash...so for me it's a bad solder..but it's strange...
I have the error code..but if you put the PIN it has a bad solder it's better

And again a bad experience...
I flashed dice first,no problem...I said whaoouuu good !! ^^

But after many use don't want to boot...And impossibility to flash again !
So solder again..and work...but it's boring ^^

So now I compare the flash before to go up the console.
Maybe it's a good solution !

This commit updated builds of BIOS flasher modules for this fix - https://github.com/DC-SWAT/DreamShell/co...29d46921d4

Sorry I forget commit last updates of applications to build directory, I fix it soon.

[dragoncity]

Ok :-)

When I Took the build version and replace just Iso loader there is a problem with many games.
An exemple Dino Crisis don't want to boot.

So I wait you change all :-)

Edit :
So I downloaded your last build (today)
And with the update it's the same for Dino Crisis don't wan't to boot...black screen

Maybe an error in the update of Isoloader..?

What is "Improved for compatibility with AICA RTC driver" ..?

LBA28.....?

I'm not fix anything in iso loader, just copy to build directory as is in release.

RTC - Real Time Clock.
It's not a HDD driver.

[dragoncity]

Ok but it's strange Swat...

If you use the version "ISO LOADER" of build..doesn't work with Dino Crisis..

If I use Iso loader (original package http://www.dc-swat.ru/download/dc/ds/4.0...Loader.7z) no problem !

[SWAT]

The app it's just UI for low level software, that really used for booting games. The UI can't have game compatibility issues.
Only isoldr/isofs modules and isoldr firmware can have game compatibility issues.
Your case really strange... Just use release.

Pretty easy. Get ISO Make PAK, copy the "optimize_gdi.bat" file and
"sys" folder, put both inside your GDI game folder and then just run the bat file. Wait for the process and it's done.

THANKSSSSS MAN!!

That gave me an idea

I use to enjoy the SDISO NeoGeo pack emulator with ROMS that I found at TiZ, recently I found that it also works from HDD, then I placed it at the following path on my HDD: ide/iso/neogeo, because I like my things a bit organized but it's a little annoying having to browse to the paths to reach the emulator folder. So I made a copy of ISO Loader with a different name and I set a special path for NeoGeo folder in the ISO Loader, now I just have to click once on the desktop icon and to choose the game folder

Good job! But I need to ask you how you managed to run homebrews on the HDD since I do not work either , only Dreamcast games ( Katana or WinCE)
Tools have to make movies and series with good resolution which implements but only works for me in Dreamshell RC 3.

Thanks!

In case of the NeoGeo pack I just got it ready from IsoZone site, there are at least 3 packs of NeoGeo emulator with ROMS already in SDISO format there, you just need to run it with Dreamshell.

I managed to get other programs in CDI format working on Dreamshell which didn't work before (if running directly in CDI format), for example DCStella emulator, Controller Test app and the 240P Test Suit program. I just extracted the contents from CDI (IP.BIN included) and then used ISO Make PAK to create an working ISO for Dreamshell.

[Astraller]

For Cosmic Smash I select DMA transfer mode, async True and memory 0x8c004000.

[rafa_apm]

Many thanks, really apreciated, it worked

Someone got rez working?

[SWAT]

The Rez still doesn't boot in DS.

Does anyone have Hydro Thunder working correctly.
Loading from IDE with VGA output the game screen is shacky and occasionally blacks out, it looks like it keeps changing to an unsupported resolution.
I have tried game ver 1.009 and 1.020, both same result.

Did you enable DMA transfer?
I have the PAL version working here via VGA (Hydro Thunder v1.009, optimized GDI, Dreamshell RC4), it works with default settings (DMA enabled, 8c00400 memory position) with DMA disabled there are some strange flickering in the image (maybe the same symptom you got?).

This game has CDDA tracks however it doesn't work well, if I enable CDDA emulation, it occurs some random freezes and audio sometimes disappear.
