Your list it's interesting because you have a NTSC console,so sometimes it's possible a game works better than PAL. For the moment it's not that lol,Maybe not the good config,I will check and tell you
(look my list for your games bug or other)
But sometimes it's not good to use OPT,so test GDI and OPT !

When I test a game,I use 2 folder,GDI and OPT.
I try with GDI,and after I try in OPT
But always in GDI first,because many games don't work in OPT !

Gillbert too,give me your list !

Just one thing,this is wrong ""Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare" only works on a NTSC/U console region"

It works on PAL console too,just the kinematic lag,but like NTSC.

I added 3 games since Yesterday.

Dreamshell 4 RC4 Compatibilities PAL -DragonCity-

18 Wheeler - American Pro Trucker : OPT + 0x8cfe0000 : Works perfectly !
Plasma Sword - Nightmare of Bilstein : GDI or OPT and CDDA : Works but the sound "bug" after a moment,like MDK 2.
NO compatible VGA
Vigilante 8 - 2nd Offense : OPT and CDDA : Works perfectly !

Hello! Thank you for testing. I use your DragonCity link all the time it's helpful!

My console is region free, I used all 3 versions of Vigilante 8 2nd Offense USA, PAL, JPN.

You got V8 to work flawlessly in DS RC4 on an IDE drive?! Every DC game I have from your list works except for Vigilante 8 and Plasma. I dumped different GDI versions too from multiple sources, question:

Did you playthrough more than one stage in both Arcade Mode and Quest Mode?
You are using DS RC4 Github and not RC3 correct?
Did you leave the RAW/WAV music tracks in the optimized GDI for this game or were they deleted?
Do you hear music playing during gameplay?
No crash during exit?
Finally did you try shuffling the music in sound test and during gameplay?

(V8 has an exclusive feature where you can change tracks during gameplay. Usually the game freezes when I do that via DS RC4 with HDD)

I'm aware that V8 works fine when you delete those raw files with opt GDI even if you enable CDDA, however if you leave all music tracks in and optimize then turn on CDDA it will demonstrate the problems I mentioned earlier.

In other words did you test this game with all the raw tracks (nothing deleted), on RC4 Github, and in DS settings enabled CDDA? Because if you did there's something horribly wrong on my end. Does it matter if I'm using an IDE PATA drive to boot this game? My Dreamcast is PAL however it's been modified to take NTSC and it's region free. I live in America and am using NTSC equipment but that shouldn't make a difference since all other DC games work. You sure there aren't any additional settings I could use?

As for Plasma Sword that's fantastic news! I only played through the whole game once (with all raw tracks intact plus enabled CDDA) and it froze when I encountered the boss. Did not test it more than once. Maybe it was a one time glitch? I'll test Plasma Sword again and get back to you.

I'm starting to wonder if I need to use a different method in "ISO Make" before optimizing these games.

It would be a miracle if you could get Guilty Gear X to work without scratchy music and this version of Shenmue 1. Something tells me that's going to be a harder fix than most games that didn't work. As in a whole new DS OS revision but then again you never know.
