Openemu does not show all games on Dreamcast

Post by bobilix »

Hi, I have problems seeing the games loaded on 512GB and Openmenu SD. I noticed that when there are many titles at least more than 35 on the SD, they are not shown in the Dreamcast screen. This does not happen with GDMENU.Solutions?

Another reason I haven’t gone over to openmenu yet, no matter how much the gang keep selling it to me.

Can you be more specific? Does the list cut off at a certain point? If so, it's likely you have a "bad" disc image. For example, if your first 12 games display, but nothing after that, the 13th disc image is the culprit.

openMenu relies on GDMENU Card Manager (which can also be used to build legacy gdMenu as well). As such, GDMENU Card Manager may not be playing nicely with a particular disc image.

If this is the case, it's not related to openMenu itself, as openMenu is only rendering a list of games based on the data GDMENU Card Manager compiles for it.

I had this issue when I was a new user :)

The solution that worked for me was needing to click Preload in GDMENU Card Manager first before adding games.

Adding and removing games has been hassle free after that

Hi, thank you all for the suggestions.
I formatted the SD and all games appeared again.
However, I noticed that adding one modified in language, he created the block, removed and everything has returned ok.😁
