The 3 games that I would kill for to be optimized and put in cdi format would be.
1. He man
2. Mortal Kombat outworld assassins
3. Mortal Kombat Adventure
Now I know there is a compilation that has been posted on a thread with like a mortal Kombat fmv intro and everything but those games have crazy load times. I waited about 5 minutes for Mortal Kombat adventure which is fine. But to play outworld assassins it took exactly 21 minutes to boot the game and then each level took about 5 minutes to load making the game pretty much unplayable but I commend them for their efforts and also realize this was running on a very old engine

Also was very disappointed when I downloaded the gunstar heroes bor and the cdi didn’t boot

Homebrews including Dreambor can be autoboot if the bootdreams program is used to create the CDI.

You are right, the games MUST be unpacked in their data folder to avoid those horrible loading times and in fact there is a newer dreambor version that can even save to vmu here:

You can help to optimize the he man game, there are LOTS of text files in it that need proper spawn coords acording to the downgrade.

If you downloaded Dreamshell HDD-SD version in ISO file it has the 1st_read.bin file hex code changed for IDE

You said that you have a topic on how to repack them. I would love to learn how to convert and optimize beats of rage games. Alot of them run poorly on cdi. Do you have a tutorial at all on how to do this thanks.
