  1. Did I mention that I grew so tired of all the waiting and clicking done in GDMENUCardManager I wrote my own native macOS GDEMU SD card manager: Katana

    Will put it up on GitHub soon!

  3. Ateam took it upon himself to improve the GDEMU experience on Dreamcast, and the fruits of his labor are the openMenu Virtual Folder Bundle! See what it does and where to get it:

  4. Yep, changing the PSU of my fixed all issues it had. It can play games again. Did some more test runs and everything is fine. Very happy about it being revived and all.

  6. Hoozah! My looks to be fully operational again. Installed the today after having installed the and it booted instantly. Hopefully it keeps doing this!

    Got a 128GB SD card for it. Preparing it took a long time though.

  8. Oh this looks promising. A couple of years ago I replaced the disc drive of my with the . It worked for a while and then nothing. Eventually put back the original drive but that wouldn't read anything anymore either!

    On a chance of faith I ordered the as it was on sale. Installed it. First disc: couldn't be read. But that was a copy, so looked for another one and that played fine! Currently playing a music CD (yes, those still exist 😄).

    So far it's looking good

  10. Manchmal muss man etwas Glück haben: SSD Mod ausgebaut, #GDEMU ohne Karte eingebaut, SD-Adapter mit #Dreamshell angeschlossen - Dreamcast bootet tatsächlich in Dreamshell und ich kann das #BIOS neu flashen. Jetzt läuft die Kiste wieder. Puh... kommt sie morgen doch mit 😃! #Revision2025

  12. Heute Abend endlich mal ein wenig an meiner zweiten #Sega #Dreamcast herumbasteln. Akku tauschen, Gehäuse gegen transparentes Gehäuse tauschen, #DreamPSU einbauen, Lüfter Modifikation einbauen und, last but not least, ein #GDEmu installieren.

  14. Installed the 12V dummy load board by @misirajeduart.bsky.social. I consider my Kitty now finishe, except for getting the shell back to original colour. #gdemu 5.20 with #openmenu. Holder for the ML2032 cell battery. Self resetting fuse for the ports. And last but not least PINK led :). #dreamcast

  15. Fixed the few missing covers and added a lot of missing descriptions. All games have covers and descriptions now. Now to figure out how github works and make a pull request... #dreamcast #openmenu #gdemu #retrogaming #opensource

  16. OpenMenu/GDEmuCardManager were missing quite alot of Japanese #dreamcast covers. Long Live #OSS! Downloaded the image db from github amd added them myself. Still 3 covers not showing up, need to figure out why. #retrogaming #gdemu #openmenu

  17. The copy finished and the sd card with #openmenu is working, will need to add covers/artwork. #dreamcast #gdemu #retrogaming

  18. Almost done copying. ... For the 3rd time. Had to keep removing stuff from the list so it would fit on the 256Gb micro sd card. No space for all those visual novels I would have only checked out once :(. #dreamcast #gdemu

  20. Installed it and tested with the SD card that came with it. Now to make my own with openMenu. My Kitty still had a modchip inside, left it for now. Also, check out the pink LED :) #dreamcast #gdemu

  22. Finally got a #GDEMU (from #aliexpress). 1st time I ordered a 5.20.3 and got a 5.15, 2nd time the package form Spain never arrived, (via DHL, probably a scam because the price was low and is no longer available after my complaint). #dreamcast #retrogaming

  24. Gerade mal den Laser meiner zweiten #Dreamcast kalibriert. Jetzt liest sie auch wieder CD-Rs. Fragt sich nur, ob ich nicht langfristig doch besser ein #GDEmu einbauen sollte. Die Laser sind leider eine echte Schwachstelle.

  26. Success! So happy to have this working. The drive was getting rather picky with what discs it would play and I didn't really want to adjust the laser any further than I had already over the years.

    Will make it easier to try some of those translated games now too. #Dreamcast #GDEMU

  27. Was a little fiddly to slot the 2 parts of the bracket together. The SD extender is quite tight. Also curious why the slot for a spare SD card isn't deep enough to stop it from noticeably ending the Disc tray lid if you use it. Seems to be a problem with pretty much all using this mount design. Guess the original design of the 3D print model never tested that bit and it's not been updated since.

    Anyway, all fitted in. Time to put it all back together and test it out! #Dreamcast #GDEMU

  28. Today's star of the show, the GDEMU. Seems weird to see the exposed pins for the SD card slot. So used to there always being a metal shield around it on other devices.

    Hopefully this goes in smoothly! #Dreamcast #GDEMU

  29. Always liked how compact and neat the internals of the Dreamcast are. Nice and easy to access and no crazy screw types to deal with. #Dreamcast #GDEMU

  30. I've just installed #GDemu finally. An SD card reader and game loader to replace my #dreamcast disc drive! The painful part is getting games onto a regular SD card (no microSD supported) with my current computing setup, which as you may recall is only a Steam Deck. I have nearly 200gb of games that I'd like to have on there, but I'm starting with seven gigs... and it's still pretty slow.

  31. I have added upgrades and modifications to my SEGA Dreamcast featuring a GDEMU for loading games from an SD Card as well as a modern PSU & far quieter fan.

  33. Hmm this is probably a dud. Bought it 1-2 years ago from AliExpress (so I guess it’s a clone?) and it worked fine. Played a couple of times and worked fine. The SD card was brand new as well (not from AliExpress ;-)). Sometime later started having these stuck at loading issues but could get past it. But currently, it’s not getting further anymore. Bah.

  35. Since today is the 24th anniversary of the release of the Dreamcast in North America (9/9/99), I'll share my own odd Dreamcast story.

    I'll preface it by saying I was 19 in 1999, and wasn't really playing video games, I was moving back up the coast after finishing high school. So I have very little experience with the console.

    But three years ago in February, I was driving home and spotted a Dreamcast box on the top of my neighbor's trash. And I thought, oh cool, a Dreamcast box. No way anything is in there. So I grabbed it.

    But there WAS a Dreamcast in there. Nearly complete, too - with controllers, manual, even a game (see photo). It looked brand new, really. Missing the cords, but after a friend on Twitter gifted me a cord, it started right up!

    Can't imagine why someone would throw it out other than kids leaving home or maybe revenge against a boyfriend or husband or something? Or maybe they just didn't want to sell it or take it to a thrift store? Anyway, their loss, my win. At least I saved it from sitting in a landfill.

    I have no games for it (I sold that basketball game), and I don't need em- eventually I plan on putting a GDEMU in it to emulate. I hear it's pretty easy.

    Psyched to try all those badass shooters!
