GDEMU (clone) reset not working.

Post by TonyN »

Hi, couldn’t get hold of a GDEMU so bought a clone. Trouble is the GDmenu software works great but the machine will not reset from a game to GDEMU menu. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You could try when on the title screen from a game to push the L + R + start button for 3 seconds. If turned on with the sdmaker software then it should return to gdemu menu.

Oh right, being a newbie I just formatted 128gb SD card to FAT32, placed unzipped GDmenu software on it and made folders 2-100, then named the game in each ‘disc’. I might have sorted the problem, am I right thinking that button reset only works if you are in the games title screen?

Reset works even if you play the game it will return you to the title screen of the game first then you have to reset again to go to the gdemu menu

I just got a modded GDEMU Dreamcast and I'm having the same exact problem. I've tried everything but no luck. Anyone figure this out yet?

doesn't it require a memory card with space to work?

I had the same issue when the GDemu wasn't properly connected. If I pushed the GDEMU too far into the connector, it gave me this problem

Just press a+b+y+x+start to reset back to the menu when in a DC game. Will usually only work with actual DC games though and yes you have to usually be in the title screen.
