I hope that such a fan of the light gun knows about 5 games from atomiswave that are now available on dreamcast :)

Yes, thank you! :D

I downloaded the entire Atomiswave set when I got my USB-GD. So far I've only played Dolphin Blue, but I intend to dip into the lightgun games soon.

Thanks in advance for the replacement file - I will test it today and let you know if there's any problems.

I quite like USB-GD since it allows me to add or remove games without needing to rebuild the menu file every time. I update my SD card two or three times a day, trying to create the perfect list, so something like GD-EMU would drive me mad. :lol:

In fact, with the release of Gdmenu Card Manager, the game on the SD card has become the same as simple as adding games through the operating system file manager

Oh? I read a tutorial on something like this, but it seemed time consuming since it still needed to "build" the menu image.

Ah well. I ended up with USB-GD, so for better or for worse, this is the ship I now sail.

Onwards across the seas!

EDIT:
Tested and it works! Fantastic - thank you very much!!

Thank you!

I am surprised that despite extensive Googling all I could find are some old Reddit threads and this thread. Like, I'm surprised there aren't any big top search results explicitly showing fixes for these lightgun games.

Downloading DCOX with lightgun patch now. I take it you were responsible, given your credit for the hyperlink, or did you just supply the link?

Either way, this is exactly what I needed! So thank you very much. I'll be sure to point others here if I come across anyone needing the fixes.
Can anyone reupload these patches somewhere? I am unable to access this thread and can't find the patches elsewhere.

They're still there. Can't rem what the rules are but it's either:
you need your first post verified
OR you need at least 5 posts on the board.

Either way, until whichever one it is, is met then you won't be able to access or see the download section.

If someone could point me toward these patched ROMs, pref CDI, that would be greatly appreciated! Bought two Japanese guns, and while it’s super fun to play HoTD2 at home, I would love to be able to read the subtitles. The voice acting is… something.
