GDEmu clone issues

Post by Xiden »

If you have a clone Gdemu, you likely have a faulty or incorrect crystal on your g1 bus that needs to be replaced. Reference the following tweet for fix. This is partly why I am against chinese knock offs.

Thanks to Citrispsi3000 for finding this issue.

No issues with my clone either. Between that and vga, best thing you can get your Dreamcast.

Thanks for the heads up. Checked mine I got in August and all is well.
