Download the DCP patch file: https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id=1DXp ... t=download

Download the latest version of Universal Dreamcast Patcher: https://github.com/DerekPascarella/Univ ... r.v1.8.zip

Download a GDI of Bangai-O: https://myrient.erista.me/files/TOSEC-I ... %21%5D.zip

From there, it's very simple...

- Open Universal Dreamcast Patcher.
- Click "Select GDI or CUE" to open the source disc image.
- Click "Select Patch" to open the DCP patch file.
- Click "Apply Patch" to generate the patched GDI (the patched GDI will be generated in the folder from which the application is launched).
- Click "Quit" to exit the application.

Are the remaining games not compatible with this method, or is it more a matter of limited time and contributors?

Huge thanks to TapamN and everyone who’s worked on this!

It's not a "method", per se. Each hack is done on a game-by-game basis. Sometimes more easily than others.

Regarding a current list of all VGA-patchable games (and those not yet patched), see this page:
