Trying this after work today !

Next plan is to figure out everyone who needs to be credited, and implement a credits screen.

After that, checking and verifying every single product id so far, roughly 466

Awesome , don't forget before you consider it all done ofc and no rush:

to add the Indie games worth our time (Sturmwind etc) and unreleased 100% titles half-life / Dee Dee / propeller / millenium racer and ofc the most played NTSC-J games

Is verifying product of something I/we can help out with ?

Latest release still doesn't fix the garbled display for most games on my PAL Dreamcast. For some reason Blue Stinger runs absolutely fine. But all other games tried result in the same messed up display. Again all games working with no issues using GDMENU (I have personally checked all 370 odd games with GDMENU and all work fine). Someone mentioned that no one is making DC homebrew that supports the composite video lead anymore. I find that completely laughable and BS. There are plenty of homebrew apps and games (Atomiswave Conversions/Emulators/And of course GDMENU). All have support for composite video and I presume RF and VGA. Please state that this Homebrew does not work correctly with PAL systems using composite video. I am sure all PAL users will rush out and buy a VGA conversion.

I thought 99% of all users used VGA or hdmi-adapters nowaday to be honest.

I don't want to sound rude in anyway but if you still use composite video you should absolutely get VGA or hdmi adapter it's not that expensive and gives you alot better image

was going to start updating metadata on PAL again today...were there any specific must haves that we should have that arent done yet?
