Hallo i have one of this (i think) original GDEMU mod for my dreamcast:

First time the system booted (with a sandisk micro sd 32G inserted) all worked good, problems start when i decided to format again sd card: i used also guiformat and FAT32/64kb options but nothing, i have this results:

- sometimes gdemu menu won't appear
- sometimes i can see directory list but games won't correcly load (i have a new boot from machine)

Why? i used sd card software to correct insert files on sd card with gdemu.ini file in and all options enabled (region free, vga, etc).
There is perhaps roms that works and roms that are non working for this system?

Your gdemu is a chinese clone, not upgradeable via firmware or you will brick it and the SD require a 32kb cluster size, no matter the capacity of the card.
Use

to create the sd structure for your games.
