Atomiswave Neogeo Battle Coliseum DCMC 2 Retrodream Serial port SD card[HDMI 60FPS] DREAMCAST


set youtube to 720p 60fps Correct settings at time stamp 0:32

There's some stutter between loading nothing much in game is fine some slowdown but it's nothing really to stop you playing well.. And the real game has slow down..

Mine finally arrived and I can't get anything going (did download today Dreamshell+loader into root of SD) EDIT: There's a thread with loader v0.7x, they are current? 55 pages too many for me :oops:

I saw there's a few from megavolt with track04.iso for SD, so I do try Maximum Speed without setting and setting from original post here and all bsod

for Maximum Speed use loader adress 8CFE8000 and replace track04.iso to special build "for SD mod.7z"

Fist Of The North Star/Hokuto No Ken, don't know why but Raoh lots of missing/glitched animation/sprites

0x8cfe0000 -e 8 -a -f I have to key that in every time it saves only then but not on power off/on ={

EDIT: What's the -e 8 -a -f? I used the cfe0000 selection instead game runs and that does store in SD settings although Raoh is still screwed up (first attract mode)

Just been reading some of this thread trying to catch up and I see this stuff about the loader address but I'm really rusty on using my sd card adapter.

*EDIT* OK so I watched the video showing this working on the SD CARD and the guy in the video uses an iso loader via the Dreamshell app which I don't seem to have, I downloaded the loader 0.6.6beta file Megavolt suggested but can't "Unpack" the .bin file, is there anymore info about how to do this? Also can anyone clarify what file format the sd card should be formatted to? Is it definitely FAT32 with 64bit allocation?

Can anyone recommend a way to setup the file structure on my SD card? I seem to have mine in a bit of a mess and I can't remember what half the stuff is for or how to work it.... so embarrassing, teach me for being away for so long
Thanks in advance guys :D

Hi, I'm a new member, but I've been looking at this thread for a while. I recently got a DC SD serial port adapter, and I've been playing these games. All of them seem to work, however some of them have issues. Some seem to run pretty much perfectly, but some seem to have issues with in-game slowdown. One in particular is Dolphin Blue - the game seems to run okay and doesn't crash, but there's quite a bit of slowdown that I don't think was present originally. Is there any way to fix this slowdown, either in Dolphin Blue or in the other games that have that issue?
