SO excited for all the new Dreamcast games coming out here in 2020, and especially this one -- it's very interesting!

I gave it a go -- .CDI on a USB-GDROM -- and after three crashes I stopped! I liked what I saw, but it wasn't saving the game to VMU, so I had to restart each time, so I decided to pause. :(

@lerabot -- if it's helpful, I was streaming and recording it while I played, so if you want, you can watch the VOD and see the various bugs and breaks I found: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/764141004

I would be happy to be part of the test teams and play more, if you have other versions in the future!

Thanks for your work!

Omg thank you for recording the unfortunate crashes! I will take a look at this very carefully.

Some people also noted that the VMU didn't work for saving. Do you have 9 blocks left? It might also need to be in the first controller first slot.

I'll report back tomorrow!

You're welcome! I like to stream-the-Dream, and the recording is a nice benefit. I can clip glitches and speedrun tricks in other games I play for later reference!

VMU was relatively empty (62 blocks free) and it was in the first controller slot. I *do* have a soldered extension from the controller to the VMU so that I can place it under a camera for streaming, but it works flawlessly -- dozens of games played with that setup, no problems.

Cool VMU integrations, by the way, I like that it chirps when there is a radio transmission to listen to!
