Download the DCP patch file: https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id=1DXp ... t=download

Download the latest version of Universal Dreamcast Patcher: https://github.com/DerekPascarella/Univ ... r.v1.8.zip

Download a GDI of Bangai-O: https://myrient.erista.me/files/TOSEC-I ... %21%5D.zip

From there, it's very simple...

- Open Universal Dreamcast Patcher.
- Click "Select GDI or CUE" to open the source disc image.
- Click "Select Patch" to open the DCP patch file.
- Click "Apply Patch" to generate the patched GDI (the patched GDI will be generated in the folder from which the application is launched).
- Click "Quit" to exit the application.
thank you very much. my only problem seems now that i can not burn the game to disc. i need to convert it again?

The above method is for creating GDI for use with ODE or emulator, not an image burnable to disc.

Someone will need to build a CDI for you.

Wow, this is really impressive—can’t believe I missed it until now. I’ve been having a blast with Soul Fighter!

Are the remaining games not compatible with this method, or is it more a matter of limited time and contributors?

Huge thanks to TapamN and everyone who’s worked on this!

It's not a "method", per se. Each hack is done on a game-by-game basis. Sometimes more easily than others.

Regarding a current list of all VGA-patchable games (and those not yet patched), see this page:

Thanks for the list—there are more titles left than I realized! Quite a few seem to be Japanese, which is interesting. If it’s ever possible down the line, I’d be especially excited to see JoJo's, Last Blade 2, Plasma Sword, and maybe even Caesars Palace.

You're welcome.

Honestly, they're all do-able. It's just a matter of time and energy.

I'd say the real heavy hitters are JoJo, Last Blade 2, and Plasma (like you mentioned).

Perhaps I'll work on some of these one day :)
