GDEMU plays games faster

Post by CreeperSteve »

Hey everyone, I recently got a GDEMU from AliExpress. Whenever I put it in, though, the audio from the games run faster than they should. I’m using a US Dreamcast with no modifications except for the GDEMU. I’m really stuck here, so please help me out.

Are you using .GDI files? It could also be a faulty board as well

Check to see if a gdemu.ini file exists in the SD card you can try deleting it if see it. Otherwise you can make one and alter the read write speed and see if that fixes anything

This might or might not help, but I had a similar issue with Arcade Racing Legends on Dreamcast GDEMU. I could never win certain races because the ai cars were just too fast. But when I played via disc instead, I completed all those races without issues. I think a solution was found to play it accurately via GDEMU but I just don't remember. I think it had something to do with adding or subtracting something from the ini file.

I tried that already, no dice. I think I’m going to just send it back.
