Hey mrneo I’ve been following this thread over the last couple weeks and I’d like to ask about cdi support? I see on your GitHub you say that they might work What is the compatibility issues with cdi? Thanks for all the work you have done on this project it really brings together the experience of everything.

I think some people tried them and said they work.
I don't have any and haven't tested any.

Problem with the last build.

It won't boot up , tried to build SD card 2 times with different images , both time containing Jap titles to test. The screen goes black after DC /sega logo. Check video:

My apologies , it does work. I forgot to "prep the SD card" before adding games.

(When you start from scratch with an SD card you need to replace the first directory 01 on the SD card with the contents of gdmenu-gdi.zip linked in mrneos instructions , and then you can use the gdmenucardmanager to create your SD)

I've started building this on my card. It crashes a lot trying to put the games on the card. It writes about 10 at a time and then operation cancelled error pops up. So far I've hit save changes again and it continues from where it left off.

Do you have any more info?

Its going to be an issue in sonik-br original tool as well so we can work to fix in both.
