Official Rhea Discussion

I've had a PS-IO since the first batch and have been too busy with Rh/Ph/GD to even find the time to install it yet.

 

Not hard to get if you're in a similar timezone to the seller. Shit always go up at like 4am or something. Still trying to get in on one myself and have been following for ~yr. It's not the easiest.

 

For the record, if anybody having trouble, my list is now up to three titles that will not work with the wireless Saturn bluetooth controllers / 3d pads. I'm only up to M in loading up my games to the SD card over the past few months. There may be more.

Golden Axe the Duel
Heisei Tensai Susume Bakabons
Mansion of Hidden Souls

 

I'm fairly interested in a detailed write-up/video explaining this. I was considering go back to the previous version of RMenu to have a bit more control over how things were displayed, and to see if we can get nested directories working, mainly due to the idea of separating different regions (EUR, USA, JPN, KOR, etc), then following that up with game types.

 

Virtual Open Tennis does not load on fast boot but loads on full boot. Just a heads up. Has anyone else tested the Redump or Darkwater dump of Gungriffon? As of right now it does not work

 

Japanese version works for sure as i used that to try my VCD cart.

 

What region exactly? I just tested out the PAL version and it does load correctly with fast boot.

 

I have both NTSC/US Darkwater versions of those titles and they work fine, including fast boot and IGR.

Again, Gungriffon DW works fine with Rmenu 0.2 or without (as long as you source a proper version or rip your own), yet why say it worked in a old post using a different dump from Emuparadise ^^ but then say it doesn't work again in a new post just recently? Some of their dumps have been DW releases, renamed, etc, and the Isozone has DW images of Saturn games too.

 

i'm a little confused. i have a US model 1, I have a rhea, my ini looks like this:

auto_region = 2
image_tests = 1
reset_goto = 1
open_time = 500
detect_time = 250

Issue I am having is with reset. I power up and rmenu loads. I select bomberman, when I do a+b+c+start, it goes to the cd player, then I can load rmenu again (as is intended from my reading of the rmenu v2 change) after this, i load cotton boomerang, a japanese game. then when i do the reset combo OR use the reset button on the console, it just loads cotton boomerang again. if I do the reset combo on the controller and get back to the cd player, it has cotton boomerang loaded, not rmenu. what am I doing wrong? how am I not able to get back to rmenu?

 

IGR with Rmenu only works with "Fast Boot", so using "Full Boot" or "Load Cart" (if using a AR or other Ram carts) and pressing Reset on the console will only reset to the last game played.

Make sure you use "Fast boot" for the IGR button combo to work properly. Maybe, you chose the "full boot" option to load Cotton Boomerang?

Also, it won't make a difference but i'd remove image tests from the ini, as it's not really needed.

 

hey, you're right! thanks, krisk!

 

Having trouble from Space Jam. Game freezes after the 1st quarter.

 

Hey guys, just got a Rhea and can't seem to make it work. I have the menu and 1 disc image to test it out in 2 different SD cards and nothing boots. Saturn only goes to the CD player screen. What am I doing wrong?

Here are screenshots of the files: https://imgur.com/a/yYeK1

 

Update: If I just have the game on the SDCard it boots the game just fine. Even updated the firmware and nothing happened.

 

The config file has to be "Rhea.ini", not rhea.ini
See if that does the job.

 

I don't think there should be a system volume information folder, this tells me that you might have formatted the sd card to the wrong format.

 

No that folder is pretty normal, when you format a drive with windows or various tools it will automatically be created.
It is usually hidden though, he just has hidden files turned on.

If he play the game when it's in folder 01 and was able to update the firmware that means it's properly formatted anyway, the menu must not be starting for some reason.
The ini was just the obvious thing that looked wrong.

 

I think I have identified the problem: it won't load .ISO images. But the Rhea menu creates a .ISO file.

It should be loading .ISO files for homebrews, right?

 

In fact if the first image is an ISO file it won't even switch discs with the Rhea button.

 

Well, a lot of fiddling with the Rhea and now I can get RMenu to load... But only if it's not the first image on the SD Card.
If I have it in folder 02 or 03 it will load.
