All WINCE games work only with HDD, GDI Optimized, DMA True Async, 0x8C000100

I've tried opt GDI format and every possible memory address but it's not working - I'm using a CF card btw.

[megavolt85]

CF card very fasted, few games don't work with CF

I've run into an issue with Omikron: The Nomad Soul. The game seems to run great for the most part but I got to one point in the game where you have to jump down a ventilation shaft and into some water (this is a short cutscene). As soon as you hit the water, the game will just freeze. The music is still playing in the background but the screen is just frozen and you can't progress any further. Anyone know of a fix for this? I'm using an IDE HDD, 0x8c000100, no DMA, and DS RC4 Github.

Edit: It seems this happens any time you dive into water. There's a small tunnel you swim through after the Gandhar boss battle and it froze there as well. In case anyone is wondering, I progressed past the first problem spot with the disc and then continued using the HDD.

I'm pretty sure that on 4rc3 from download page everything worked fine. Can't be sure. But tried yesterday "blue stinger" with 4rc4 that megawolt uploaded somewhere in this thread, and in the beginning, when entering to next area, game froze. I don't remember having this problem with 4rc3.

As always, there is this thing as regression in software. Some things are working better, some not.

I'm using pal dc, 2.5 ide.

Also this prototype version of Rez works on all Dreamcasts: http://hiddenpalace.org/Rez_(Jul_30,_2001_prototype)

Great,now REZ works on my PAL console,and looney tunes works but without CDDA..with CDDA freeze when I launch the race

For quick testing purpose we could have different versions of DS written on SD and IDE device, swithing preffered device by pressing start during bootloader device init.

@thedoctor

For me urban chaos run with opt and dma format. I can't try it for now but it runs with dremashell for sure.

Try with the 0.6.0 version of isoloader the beta doesn't run dma.

I decided to test all games PAL US and JAP ( Jap just list type A and B : Understandable English)

See this amazing list here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i8xapWO...HG-E-/view

Всем привет. Хотел спросить - а проходил ли кто-то из вас целиком RE: Code Veronica, используя только Dreamshell (без болванок)? Потому что у меня был опыт ещё в 2013 году, когда актуальной была версия beta 4, запускал с SD карты, и я нарвался на один неприятный баг. Момент когда надо извлечь "глаза" (а точнее камни) из статуи тигра (второй диск за Криса). При правильной работе игры, после извлечения одного из камней, статуя поворачивается и открывается предмет. Однако, при запуске в Dreamshell, статуя не поворачивается, а камни можно забирать бесконечное число раз. Погуглив на этот счёт, я выяснил что подобный баг был и в ранних версиях эмуля NullDC.
Я жалею что не написал об этом баге ещё тогда. Подумал "а, наверняка в новой версии исправится", и вот - тестирую уже сейчас, спустя ~5 лет на версии RC4 c IDE диска - и тот же баг.
P.S. регион образа U - американка.

И кстати, раз уж я собрался писать о багах, то есть ещё один баг в Шенму 2, когда игра на втором диске виснет во время одной из заставок.
Попасть на него можно после того как мы нажмём WAIT тут:
https://youtu.be/HVoI_tgGrxk?list=PLFfav...ZfS&t=6078
А если сразу к делу, то вот сам момент виса:
https://youtu.be/HVoI_tgGrxk?list=PLFfav...ZfS&t=6580
Сразу говорю - я пробовал заходить на эту заставку в другое игровое время (ночью), проверял несколько раз - виснет всегда. Причём только если играть через Dreamshell, если же с болванки - всё отлично.
Могу сбросить сейв перед этим местом

I'm loving the spreadsheets, they are very helpful.

Can I convince anyone to try mine? It's very extensive, so I decided to make a form that anyone can contribute to: link

I was inspired by Dragoncity's efforts. At first I copied his spreadsheet and started adding my own games. However, when I noticed that some of the games he tested only worked as .cdi files, very surprising, I decided to change my approach.

If a game can work with Dreamshell, there are over 1000 setting combinations to try for each game. Multiply that by 4 for iso, cdi, and optimized/unoptimized gdi. This is too much testing for anyone person, so I hope my form will be adequate for everyone contributing to.

I also set up 16 basic tests that can be downloaded and easily loaded into Dreamshell.
The tests go through 4 common memory positions and apply DMA, CDDA, or both. There is a set for either GDI, CDI, or ISO files. You just have to change your game filename to "game" and copy/paste it into the folders, then place them in the apps folder of your Dreamshell, and go on and play!

Here are the results, which only has a couple games that I tested before coming up with the 16 tests. It's very empty and not very pretty right now. Hopefully this spreadsheet will grow huge: link

Lots of people have done fantastic testing. If we get organized together I'm sure we can find a few new games that will work with Dreamshell under proper settings.

- CDDA > Blackscreen
- CDDA > Sound crash

- CDDA > Reboot
etc...

I do not know if anyone also have the same problem:

Dreamshell 4.0 RC4 or latest beta v0.6.6 with ide mod nogdrom bios

- when enable CDDA game played fine first but then stalled (freeze) at a sudden (sudden death). This 'sudden death' usually happened during music change. (when disable CDDA all went well but no fun)

please report if anyone experience the same, I am not sure if my mod is caused by missing crystal? (I got my mod from buying from internet).

I found a very strange thing... !!

I tested all games,and the game centipede worked !

And today..I want to make the preset..I test and doesn't work..

Now..do you know why?
>> IT'S because in VGA works..and with RGB NO !!!!!

CRAZZZZZYYYYY !!!

So I don't know why but this game doesn't work in RGB,but VGA no problem and with CDDA !

Edit : Same problem with other game like "ESPN NBA 2 Night", works in 004000 in VGA and not in RGB...

So if you know why tell me because maybe other game it's the opposite (RGB works and not in VGA..) !

[dragoncity]

Same problem > Jet Coaster Dream 2

Works only in VGA...
