Giga Wing 1 won't run
I cannot get Giga Wing 1 to run on my GDEMU. It just resets to Dreamcast intro screen. All other games work fine. Anyone experienced this and/or have a solution? Thanks!

Re: Giga Wing 1 won't run
Based off how you are saying the name I assume you are using the copy from my thread in downloads? If so please download again. Every game works. Also make sure you have space on vmu card.

Re: Giga Wing 1 won't run
Yes its from your thread

Edit - come to think of it, I tried another two other Giga Wing files, one CDI and one GDI that also were not cropped and those didn't work either. So I have no clue what might be the issue :/ Any suggestions?

Glad you're enjoying the collection so far!bayram wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2024 3:40 pmYes its from your threadI tried downloading it again and it still wont work; reboots after Dreamcast splash screen. I have over 100 GB free space on the card. All other games I've tried from the thread, bar Virtua Cop 2, works perfectly. In the case of Virtua Cop 2 i found another GDI that had not been cropped and that one worked. Might the issue be the cropping of the file? Thank you for all your efforts sir!

I have downloaded gigawing and put only it on an sd card. It works and I play a little. Watch this video.
Here is my setup: 5.20 gdemu clone, vga cable, gbs-c upscaler, insignia 32 inch tv
Maybe there is something in your setup that makes the game not wanna work.

Re: Giga Wing 1 won't run
I also use a 5.20 gdemu clone, hooked up to a 26 inch Bang Olufsen CRT tv by the way of a SCART cable. It makes zero sense to me why this one game should not workdubcity wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2024 5:05 pmGlad you're enjoying the collection so far!bayram wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2024 3:40 pmYes its from your threadI tried downloading it again and it still wont work; reboots after Dreamcast splash screen.

Re: Giga Wing 1 won't run
The difference is your scart cable. You should apply rgb patch found here: https://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewto ... 39#p141589bayram wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2024 1:33 pmI also use a 5.20 gdemu clone, hooked up to a 26 inch Bang Olufsen CRT tv by the way of a SCART cable.

Re: Giga Wing 1 won't run
You need an app that can apply ppf patches. Use PPF-O-Matic.bayram wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2024 5:24 pmAh yes, that must be it! How do I proceed to apply these patches?

Re: Giga Wing 1 won't run
Thank you! I applied the gdi disk image as well as the rgb patch that you provided to the corresponding places, but the game still wont boot. Am I missing something? I see that the docs says that I need to use a BIN file. I guess that means that I can`t use the games from your list?dubcity wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2024 7:04 pmYou need an app that can apply ppf patches.
