I've updated the release on github too. Now with the latest openmenu.
User still need to provide the DAT files.

Hello, I just wanted to say that:
At first I was having several issues with the SD card from a GDEMU clone 5.15 to a 5.20.5 one, but was not really a card manager problem, just reloading some of the roms solved it (thanks to MoeFoh for the help). And I have been tinkering with the latest build for a week or so, and everything works perfect with the 5.20.5 clone.

Thanks for the hard work

Guys, I've uploaded new test versions for Linux and OSX.
Can anyone help test? It uses dot net 6 now and I expect it to be more compatible.

Hi,

GD Menu Card Manager doesn't seem to accept/read .gdi files converted from a Redump set. Tried with a few unlicensed games not available in TOSEC, can't read the files. Thanks for your hard work anyway.

Hi,

Yes, it's not possible to use converted redump files.
Those are not available outside of redump sets?

No, I don't think so. Anyway I suppose I could add the folders manually to make them work on real hardware, havent' tried it yet.

just accept the fact that REDUMPs are skewed tracks and in order to get the right GDI you need to connect all the tracks together and cut them correctly. If you know the structure of the GD disk well and split the image manually, you will get the correct dump, take my word for it, I have done this more than once :D

I experience the same issue as you I think. Have a PAL DC with GDEMU clone 5.15 and I see the blue DC logo but then nothing happens. Do I need to wait many minutes? As I waited for minutes but nothing appears.

I will create a 32 GB and 256 GB FAT32 with only 2 games.

Do you have maybe more tips for me? Thanks
