Metal gear bleem/GDEMU

Post by Rainwarner88 »

Hi everyone, been awhile.
Quick help if anyone can, Is it possible to get my bleem copy of metal geal solid to work with my Dreamcast running with a GDEMU?.
I know bleem works using disc swaps so I doubt it but thought I'd ask you guys.

Proper retail metal gear with saving using bleemcast only works from burning not on a gdemu

Retail versions do not work on gdemu..

Last I heard a couple years ago, someone was working on cracking the rest of the Bleemcast protections to allow for this... but I unfortunately haven't heard any news since.

Between the Atomiswave ports, a new 3D game like Xenocider, and all the other great stuff that happened in 2020, we as Dreamcast fans are absolutely spoiled haha. So I can't complain, I've been waiting patiently to play MGS again on my Dreamcast and will continue waiting patiently. I could set up another DC and just play it via discs (I still have my original Bleemcast discs!), honestly the wait just builds anticipation. It'll be even better when it's possible.

I believe I read the aforementioned news on this semi-dead ObscureGamers forum but I'm having trouble finding anything right now. I'm pretty sure Anthony817 knows who/what I'm referring to, hopefully he can chime in.

Hey, unfortunately there is no update on Bleem getting cracked. I just checked his Twitter and there has been no further update on the project.

This was his most recent tweet about it back in January of this year.

I have some results on getting boot the mgs on Dreamcast, using bleemshell and the cdi converted mgs, it is possible to boot on the menu, spamming start to skip the cutscenes or it will get a black screen, the menu runs fine until you got to the new game, the game crashes, not playable at that point.
