Problem with save presets

[pusaman]

Hi guys

I had a Dreamcast Japan (Mother VA0) and i have successfully mod hdd an all OK

But i have a problem with games that i change any presets.

Choose game, change presets, mark "set as preset", click save and game work.

But after reboot dreamcast and same game not work next time

GDI black screen and a lot white letters
CDI freeze

If delete presets (IDE/DS/APPS/ISO LOADER/PRESETS game begin work again until mark "set as presets"

It not mark "set as preset" work fine but every time need change presets

Preset doesn't really work with IDE.. sometimes the preset it's ok..sometimes not.

For keep the preset with all games,you need to select 2-3 others games before..and you select your game,normally you have the preset!

But it's VERY boring !!

So the solution it's use SD card (serial port),and launch dreamshell with this.

With SD card no problem,PRESETS works perfectly !

I already spoke about that many times,but no update..so need to use SD card for me


Exemple with Preset for Crazy Taxi in IDE

In my video,when I click on Crazy taxi..the preset doesn't work,but after when I click 2-3 games before it's ok !

Heu.. yes..I know lol !

Do you understand my last post?

Preset doesn't work all times in IDE,watch my video.
And with SD no problem.
Many people here know the problem...

Ok so I repeat for ALL IDE or Adapter : CF SATA SSD or IDE, PRESET doesn't work all times.

I had already spoke about that,you didn't remember Megavolt??

With my exemple Crazy Taxi.

After that I tested all games,and some games keep preset and some games lost preset.
I said maybe to slower the speed when iso_loader check the preset on IDE,maybe it's too quick in IDE !
The answer of "SWAT" it's it is not important for the moment,Work on new compatibility.

For me it's ok,I found an solution,it's use dreamshell on SD,and with SD no problem.

Hi: in your RetroDream sometimes presets refuse to be saved so we need to go to original Dreamshell loader and save it from there and that way the game boots and works,

Never problem for me ... Tested with more than 200 games

What is your config GD-IDE or G1-ATA? CF or SSD?
