Re: SD Card Serial Port Tested Best Settings
this is the free version from here, only the GDI that is posted there is not compatible with DreamShell, so I compiled my own version of the GDI image
The full version of the game is sold here

Re: SD Card Serial Port Tested Best Settings
You was just given a list in that topic try those games. Want simple terms optimized GDI is by me is downsampled audio and video to match a cdr which is slower then a gdrom when i fixed RE3 i downsampled the video sfd and audio adx and asf to be under the speed of 4x speed and it now runs perfect it's not easy have to do a lot of work to each..Problem running full bitrate GDI on serial port full rate would not run on a cdr burned ether.. People run them on something slower so course it's not going to run well..
There is a list provided; you could try those. If you don't understand what an SDIO is, then here is a video.
How to make ISOs for the SD Adapter and CDI files for CD-R's for the Sega Dreamcast.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuwqI271io4
You cannot run Wince games on the serial port.
If you need an optimized GDI for a game, let me know.
There are a lot of uses for serial port readers, including backing up saves and trying homebrew without burning anything.
I also make homebrew in to SD isos; there is a post on here with every emulator, as SD iso can also be up to 4GB as
a sd iso.
Scummvm can also make sd iso with 4gb with tons of pc adventure games could not fit on a cdr or gdemu

Dreambor optimized for serial port
faster loading then gdemu best way to try any as there lots of crap but also very good games contrary to what has been said.. NO NES can have as many sprites on screen as it or colours.
What uses did you want can also play all the Atomiswave games much better then any cdr I did whole thing on my channel showing them running on real hardware with playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... 1jVAPzHTYV
This old stuff is not good for playing retail games because it takes work like it did for the cdr rips to work in the first place. If Gdemu had never come around, we would have optimized them all so they could play just as well as a cdr burned.
SO what do you want do with it and learn to do let me know and i will try to help..Can also dump your bios legal to use on emulators.

Re: SD Card Serial Port Tested Best Settings
Ian, I got Pro Pinball to play and it runs very well, but there is a problem where the game freezes unless I press the start button fast during the first splash screen (to skip directly to the main menu). It is a very minor issue but do you know if I can adjust any setting to solve this? Here are the settings I use:
Async 8
X Emulate CDDA audio
X ORQ hooking
Binary OS: auto
Direct boot
Loader memory 0x8c001100
Loader 11 (loader 0.6.6 beta I think)
