Atomiswave games not working

Post#1 » Fri May 20, 2022 11:48 am

Hello everyone I’m new to the forum and I’m glad to be here!! I have a gdemu 5.20 Dreamcast with a 512gb that includes the Atomiswave games on it……all the games work except for those particular ones….it was just loading up the Dreamcast symbol and then just go to the system menu for whatever reason…..am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated thank you!

The ini config file is on the sd card. You'll need to use your PC to view and edit it. Open in notepad and adjust the value as stated, then save.

One tip I found is to open the SD card with the games in a text editor like Notepad and adjust the value as stated in one of the forum posts I found. I did that once on the Locojoker https://locojoker-casino.com/ Australia website and it worked for me. Another source mentions incompatible gameplay of Atomiswave games on GDEMU, so it's possible there are compatibility issues.
