I've tried Retrodream and I was never able to get it to work the way you described. Plus, I kinda prefer standard Dreamshell, and all of the other Atomiswave games I've tried work on it.Ian Micheal wrote:Use retrodream it remembers i have shown a video using it running this on the serial port

Re: KenJu
Didn't you say you were able to get it working in Dreamshell by making a shortcut to the desktop? I think you said to download the version from github. I did that and it did have an option to create a shortcut, but it didn't seem to do anything. There are multiple different builds on github - maybe I just used the wrong one. Do you remember which version specifically you were able to do this with?Ian Micheal wrote:That's up to you all of them work on retrodream i have the videos to prove it
Also, maybe the reason Retrodream didn't seem to work for me has something to do with my SD card or my adapter, or some other part of my setup.
EDIT: Nevermind, it looks like there's only one version on github. I wonder why it wouldn't let me make a shortcut even though it gives me that option? Also, I was mistaken in that it was actually Keith Courage who suggested creating a shortcut. I'm working on another solution - I'll update back here if it works.

Re: KenJu
Update: (sorry for the double post) I figured out a solution that works in the way I want it to. I had tried using the ISO loader from github to make a desktop shortcut, but for some reason it never seemed to actually create a shortcut after I'd gone through the whole process. So, I figured out an alternate way to do it - I found this website: https://mechafatnick.co.uk/2019/03/19/d ... &trackid=0
Near the bottom of that page, there's a link to a template for a desktop shortcut, which includes a guide, that you can use to make a desktop shortcut to any game you want. I did that for KenJu, and it worked! The shortcut shows up in the desktop, and the game loads every time - no need to reenter the loader address. If anyone wants to use this solution, you can just use the template I linked to, or if you want I can share the files I created - in which case, all you'd have to do is just copy the files to your SD card, and it should work right away. This method works with Dreamshell, and doesn't require you to open the ISO loader - which I think makes it more convenient. The only requirement is I think you have to be using the 0.6.6 loader, which I think is necessary for KenJu to even load at all. If anyone wants those files, just ask and I'll share them.
By the way, the loader address I ended up using was 0x8CD00000.

Re: KenJu
Like you said, to each their own. Personally I think Retrodream is ugly. Anyway, there's no point in arguing about it - either option should work, it just comes down to preference.Ian Micheal wrote:SInce i dont use dreamshell any ore i like retro dream which now has movie play back for each game in a window and other features i never want a short cut on destop apart from openmenu it's the best r retro menu about ..

I might share the files anyway, just in case someone (I'm not referring to you, Ian Michael) wants to use it later.

Do not forget RetroDream is only a loader like ISO loader, you have to use Dreamshell for using RetroDreamIan Micheal wrote:SInce i dont use dreamshell any ore i like retro dream which now has movie play back for each game in a window and other features i never want a short cut on destop apart from openmenu it's the best r retro menu about ..
