megavolt85 updates Metal Slug 6 for SD Card Mod

Post by MoeFoh »

I'd be curious to hear if anyone is running Atomiswave games exclusively from their SD Card Mod via Dreamshell.

I made a lightweight build using Dreamshell with Dolphin Blue, Metal Slug 6, Fast Than Speed, Maximum Speed and Rumble Fish - if anyone is interested.

Great way to test out your new card reader. Hours of fun arcade game play.

If you don't have an ODE, this a fantastic way to run Atomiswave games. Of the few Atomiswave CDI's created, the games are too slow to run adequately.

Version 2 of the card reader works well. That's what I use with a 16GB full-size Sandisk SD Card (formatted fat32, 32k cluster size).

Here's a listing from eBay (US):

Post #3 has the download links.

Post #7 has a download of just Fist of the North Star and Guilty Gear X.

12-14-2021 Released v2 which uses RetroDream v3. Displays each game's cover snap and video snap with sound.

Something to play around with. Simply unpack to a newly formatted sd card using fat32 with 32k cluster size. Game presets and cover artwork are already configured. Includes boot disk, if needed. RetroDream is the game launcher for both builds.

Download v1 with RetroDream v2 (200.7MB):

Download v2 with RetroDream v3 (234.2MB)

Good idea for new people.. We really need to turn around the serial port rep because of user miss use.. So many great things you can do even optimized retail games to work 100% correct i did this with daytona2001 runs perfect

I have about 45 at 100% fullspeed but dont feel like uploading them all on 4g phone connection right now..

Sometimes remaking the GDI and downsampling the video or audio is all that's needed and you never know since the videos on dc are 320x240 low bitrate anyways..

Problem is the dev's just put max bitrate blah and did not even worry about it to fill out the gdrom..



Optmized GDI for the serial port nothing cut
