Dreamcast GDI Compatibility List

[razsaz]

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.
