You should reach out to the creator for direct support.

Are you sure those aren't the fairy voice effects? If so, they're normal. However, IIRC you can turn them off in the options screen.

@@derekpascarella ill try turning them off but it sounds like the back and forth banter of the first cutscene. Will update, also upon finishing the first boss the game black screened then booted to the dc bios menu

@@Yojimbo239 Are you using a GDI or CDI? Did you patch it yourself? This game has been widely played, and nobody has reported anything like that. I honestly have no idea what could be causing the issue. That said, get in touch with me using the "Contact" page on my website, DreamcastForever.com, and I'll make sure that you at least have a proper disc image.

@@derekpascarella the fairy voices stopped with the option you pointed out, the banter seemed almost out of place lol probably bc i dont know Japanese lol

@@Yojimbo239 Cool :)

There is no setting. You must be on the latest version of both openMenu and VM2 firmware for auto-switching to work.

Ignore my comment. Turns out I wasn't using the latest openmenu. After using your links correctly it is now working as expected. Very cool indeed

@@manaboutsound Great to hear :)

Thanks 🙂

If you're using the latest version of openMenu, just press B once you have the disc image selected. A prompt will appear letting you load that game with CodeBreaker.

Are you using VM2? It might be limited only when VM2 is present.

Please contact Chris, the creator of the VM2. www.dreammods.net/contact.html

i had this issue but I used another SD card to push it in and it stayed, the well in the VM2 seems a little too deep for the fingers, if you have the SD card adapter thy using the beveled corner to push it in, I'm having a lot of kinks mi trying to work out with the VM2 myself like for some reason I can't get the games to recognize it so I'm here trying to see if I need to do something either the firmware because I want to be able to have my chao and save Shenmue, jet set, evil dead, and ill bleed without switching between physical VMUS every time

ABXY+Start is the only way. Sitting through the boot sequence again isn't really that bad, is it?

@@derekpascarella just wanted to be sure. I think it makes perfect sense to make a return to menu function. thanks for the reply

DreamConn does not support automatic virtual VMU switching with openMenu+VM2. This is because the DreamConn receiver reports to the console that a standard VMU is present. DreamConn was never created with VM2 in mind. You can contact Chris directly on DreamMods.net for more information.

Yes, they'll be for general sale in the nearish future. You can also email Chris on the DreamMods.net website to inquire about buying a unit directly in the meantime.

En el último vídeo que ha subido tienes el enlace directo a Google drive para editar los Dat de OpenMenu

@@Bcuervo33 Thanks pal!!! I just downloaded, now I need find a good a tuto

@@israelgonzalezabrego3551 In Dadidon's comment in this same video there is a link with a tutorial

Yes.

Dump what? The VCD player software is readily available, but as I said, it has DRM. The receiver dongle must be present for it to work. I have not successfully reverse-engineered and removed it (which would also require mapping playback controls to button presses on standard controller).

Not sure that'll ever happen. TerraOnion is not doing much in the way of active development anymore. MODE hasn't seen a FW update since 2021. Fingers crossed, though!

Haha

Here's a crude instruction guide I wrote for a friend. Teaches you how to add your artwork. pastebin.com/raw/S38UDT1y

@@derekpascarella It worked! Great guide! I had to buy a new computer with Windows 11. On the previous one (with Windows 7), .NET Desktop Runtime 5 was no longer supported. I was about to give up and stick with the regular gdMenu, but platform games-lovers never give up! Thanks a lot!

@@Dadidon. You're welcome, happy you got it all working.

@@derekpascarella The retro gaming and console community is wonderful! ❤ I'm glad that I belong to such a brilliant social group. 🤘

Keep an eye on DreamMods.net. You can contact the creator there as well. He may have spare units for sale, not sure.

@@derekpascarellaAwesome! I will! thank you!

Yes, it will be available for wider sale eventually through a few global distributors. You can also email the creator directly on his website (DreamMods.net) to inquire about availability.

Unfortunately reality of Greek post when you do everything above boards and declare commercial product shipping with a LiPo battery. Hang tight, it'll definitely get there!

Haha, that's hilarious.

Please try asking for assistance on the support thread linked in the video description. Also, here's a crude instruction guide I wrote for a friend. Perhaps it'll help. pastebin.com/raw/S38UDT1y

Newest version introduced nested folders, but I have zero clue about how it's implemented or how to configure it. Not something I personally care about. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

@@derekpascarella even knowing it's there is great. I really didn't want to sift thru 50+ pages of the openmenu thread on dc-talk, so thanks for answering. I'll maybe see if i can find any info on it in there, or on the git.

Join the forums and make a few posts (e.g., introduce yourself as a new member). Here's direct link to download: drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1qPyPYlocZhjzAGfEZq5w7FltFN7vkXUC

@@derekpascarella Thank you for the link. I was able to add my own entry but it doesn't show up when I put the SD card in the Dreamcast. I can't figure this out...

@@BeanpotPubParlour Please check the pastebin URL in the video description. Beyond that, you'll have to ask for support on the Dreamcast-Talk.com thread. Sorry.

@@derekpascarella No, I'm done with that forum. They don't answer questions. You are blocked from key topics. What is with the gatekeeping???

No, it's a feature of openMenu and the alternative BIOS.

@@derekpascarella I understand now. Thanks

You won't have copy protection removed, but as I mentioned in the video, one of the Puyo Puyo games can sort of achieve this. Give it a try. www.itsstillthinking.com/dreamcast-alternate-3d-perspective-menu/ www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1946 www.reddit.com/r/dreamcast/comments/13tfyzm/how_to_get_real_mode_on_your_dreamcast_bios/

Haha. I believe megavolt85 added it, I don't think it's an inherent feature of that BIOS.

@@derekpascarella So what's IND13260? Secret?

@@mistamontiel00 No, just the ID of some indie game. Not sure which.

Also whoa, which games support dual analog? Virtual On?

Unreal Tournament is one that comes to mind. I don't know the rest. You can probably search around, though.

@@derekpascarellaAh, cool!

You'd be interested in this, I think. czcams.com/video/oY2VqfKCbtI/video.html

No, openMenu is the only ODE menu software that currently makes the necessary VM2 API calls to transmit game ID and create/load virtual VMUs. This will be explained in an upcoming article on RetroRGB, so please look out for it.

Ok, thanks for answering. I guess I will have to use it the traditional way xD
