Does the Bleem support the 3 official discs (MGS, TK3, GT2) by any chance? Would be awesome to finally get them working on a GDEMU but understand that it's difficult.

What a bomb again whouah ! Well done @megavolt85 !

Well, there is a tutorial for open menu installation please ?

This is a ready-made assembly for testing with pre-installed games.
to use with an already configured SD card you need to download GDMENUCardManager and openmenu
unzip GDMENUCardManager
in the GDMENUCardManager/tools/openMenu folder, delete the menu_data folder
unpack the menu_data folder from the openmenu archive into GDMENUCardManager/tools/openMenu
use GDMENUCardManager to add games to your SD card

Well done <3 Thank you very much

I have never managed to get open menu to work as Xenocider always crashes it, can anything be done to fix that?

what image are you using? CDI, GDI, GDI optimized?

I’ve tried xenocider cdi and haven’t gotten it onto open menu, i think it says it ignores the file, I haven’t tried in a while or since the updates, I just have a separate sd card for that game that runs gdmenu

I can't fix it because the problem is not in openmenu.
the only thing I can say is that Xenocider GDI can be added without problems via GDMENU Card manager and works great in openmenu
