Always on, no need to adjust

Definitely not working for me that way. I've got the latest OpenMenu build and NBA Showtime refuses to play because it doesn't support VGA. Happy to help troubleshoot if there's any info I can get you.

I have registered to thank the developer of OpenMenu mrneo240. Without this program I would have returned the original GDemu I had bought. I couldn't use any program that included GDMENU. If I clicked on any game in the list I was sent to the dreamcast menu. But with OpenMenu it works perfectly. Thanks also to sonik-br for the development of the excellent GD Menu Card Manager. Hopefully the next versions will continue to be compatible with my dreamcast model. Thank you very much .

thank you very much for all this great work! Do you think that in the future it will be added the missing covers for NG-DEV games too? I posted in this thread the images ready to be uploaded in the next cover pack, if you want to use them

Sorry if this was asked before (35 pages to go through), but is anyone else having an issue when the menu loads the VMU goes into a never-ending beep? I can resolve it simply by removing the VMU and re-inserting, but curious if this is a known issue or just my VMU being stupid..

I have not encountered that problem so I don't know :/

@RazinX Make sure that not your Controller Ports Fuse.

Are you using Official Dreamcast Power Supply with 12V Removed because your using GDEMU to reduce excess heat?

If so that can cause that problem too.

Are you using the latest build. One of the earlier ones caused a continuous beep. That’s why In the settings there is now an option to turn vmu beep off

Thanks for this beauty. Just some UX-related suggestions for the manager:

- Possibility to add entire folders (scan files)
For .gdi's, you can't put all of them on the same level because of the .bin's and .raw's named equal. So this is the way for unarchived games: Click "+" -> Open Folder -> Select .gdi -> Click "+" -> Return to base level -> Open Folder -> and so on..

- Match case option in function "Batch Rename"
Everthing's uppercase, ignoring file and folder names (to match the convention in IP.BIN Info, I guess). I'd prefer to have an option for that.

That's all, otherwise it's fantastic.

Sorry for double post but I had some more testing.

It has some problems with CDIs. Most of them don't boot. Pier Solar has no sound for example. 2D House of terror crashes at the intro video of the story mode. With the latest version of the manager and GDMenu everthing worke fine. If you answer the merge request it may fix this stuff.

Edit: Sorry, there is no pull request, I ment if you merge from 1.3.5

Nope. Keep each GDI in a separate folder - multiple select folders - drag-n-drop. Simple.
