Region free it's not a region ^^ In fact you can change the region with "region changer",but you have just ONE region each time.
So My main console is PAL,I have an JAP too,but less compatibility with JAP.

So for my test I use a PAL console,what you use?

If you don't know go to region changer

Got it. So I checked the region changer and the Dreamcast is definitely PAL. Used the PAL version of Vigilante just now, OPT GDI and kept the raw files in there like so:



(don't mind the GDI name, changed the words from "disc_optimize.gdi" to "Vigilante 8 2nd Offense UK.gdi" to match a cover image I installed)

Fired up Dreamshell, turned on CDDA and DMA, sadly the game froze when I selected Arcade Mode. So I rebooted, turned off DMA and booted with CDDA enabled. Arcade mode worked but it froze when I pushed the START button.

What method did you use to optimize? I inserted "optimize.bat" and the "sys" folder in the Vigilante 8 DC directory, double clicked optimize bat and and let it convert. But the game still failed.

Did you leave the RAW/WAV music tracks in the optimized GDI for this game or were they deleted?]You need raw for CDDA,so just optimize gdi.

Yes, they were left in.

Yes !

No crash during exit?
No !

Finally did you try shuffling the music in sound test and during gameplay?
No but I don't like really this game so I played just 15 minutes.

Good luck for test

Regardless I really appreciate you trying to help even though it's a game you dislike. This is a game I grew up with and played to death. I liked Twisted Metal, Vigilante is like Twisted Metal on steroids so naturally I really want this game to work on my Dreamshell set-up.
