Dreamcast GDI Compatibility List

[SWAT]

I think you can run this game on current version of the loader with some workaround. Try it:

1) Open lua/startup.lua in text editor
2) Uncomment modules "minilzo", "isofs" and "isoldr"
3) Add new line (change the path to your) before CheckUpdates:

PHP код:

os.execute("isoldr -x 0x8cfe8000 -f /ide/Games/GDI/Shenmue_2/disk.gdi"); 


4) Boot DS and after logo you can see booting of the game.

With this workaround you can boot a bit more games (Speed Devils startup too, but freezes after intro). Heh it's strange, but really works, I research it's now.
It's not a problem of ISO Loader app, because I tried make script for desktop and it not work. I think this happening after initialize video thread, so maybe I need fix the core, or add some changes in the loader.
Although there is a chance that for the current version that does not work, because in the new version I improved emulation of system calls. But worth a try

The only negative is that, this game does not work with DMA and emulation asynchronous read, so in gameplay framerate drops on preloading data. I will try to solve it in the new version, but I can not promise.

Not sure thath this game works on SD, because I think it's polling IDE registers. Therefore does not work emulating async read, the game thinks that the data have been read after first loop. But again worth a try
