Re: RetroDream V3 Released!
I'm using an old RetroDream via an SD card with Atomiswave games on the SD card as well, so guessing I can't get this version to work via SD card thenzychion wrote:Just in case anyone else is trying, I don't think you can run Retrodream from an SD card while having your games stored on a IDE HDD anymore.

Re: RetroDream V3 Released!
Yep. Just began running the scrapper and found that the scrapper was only pulling PNG format for covers. I think my config files are still working. And every time I start it up the first time with no config file, it crashes. The second time onwards is fine.pcwzrd13 wrote:You can.

Also, do you know why the scrapped files are coming up small in the UI? Do I have to shrink them back to a normal size?

I imagine it will work if everything is on your SD. It was just the mixture of SD and IDE that I'm having little dramas with and I'm starting to think they may just be me.DreamcastUK wrote:I'm using an old RetroDream via an SD card with Atomiswave games on the SD card as well, so guessing I can't get this version to work via SD card thenzychion wrote:Just in case anyone else is trying, I don't think you can run Retrodream from an SD card while having your games stored on a IDE HDD anymore.

A lot of the new users don't know what RetroDream is (including me!). Could you explain what it is (and I bet a lot of people like me would find it really useful if you included the basic explanation as an edit in the first post of the thread!

Re: RetroDream V3 Released!
It is a game loader for those who use the operating system Dreamshell SD/HDD IDE (created by DC-SWAT). The original loader is ISO loader (crested by megavolt85) and this is another option for running the games. Take a look at this video a mate shows how to use it. https://www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/vi ... 21&t=12583breade wrote:A lot of the new users don't know what RetroDream is (including me!).

RetroDream must be copied in the same place as the games folder is.zychion wrote:I imagine it will work if everything is on your SD.
