Unofficial Deunan's GDEMU Thread

Good question, with approx 50-100 Games it was working Fine, but now as it is Full. It Takes a while I already tried to let it run in Demo Mode over Night, this was stabile, any idea what i could they? Perhaps the 32k Cluster instead of 64k?

 

If you use gdmenu with a list that's generate with madsheep's gdmenu builder, then it's pretty much instantaneous.

 

.

 

uhm, i was using Madsheeps GDmenu Builder 1.05, this is a very nice tool, makes live much easier. I will try to cleanup the SD, as there are some games which mentioned Not supported, perhaps its this, otherwise i could try to format it with a bigger cluster.

Could it be the problem that my batterie is empty? Need to exchange it.

*EDIT*
just cleaned all the "Not working" images, but still 2minutes left from pressing the button to gdemu :-/

 

No problem.

 

I ran into a similar issue and found that some of the game names generated were excessively long and breaking the cached list forcing a scan on boot.

Make sure there are not trailing spaces in any of the game names sometimes indicated by an "..."

 

Hello,

i found out that it was the format, i used Disc Juggler CDi as one file was for me better than all this raw files. I changed now to GDi and it boots instant

 

ive got my gdemu 1 week is all it took i could have it earlier but post offices here in greece really took their time. curently adding games to sd

 

Don't forget to desolder the 12v regulator since it overheats otherwise

 

It's not a requirement and is optional whether you do it or not. I have personally ran the hardware on a stock PSU for long periods of time and the levels of heat are debatable in comparison to a stock drive running discs. It's the same with 300ohm resistor instead, some say it doesn't work others say differently and is difference in opinion tbh, as Deunan would have put up some disclaimer/advisory message about it, if was a major issue as there have been no reports of ode devices and consoles getting wrecked as a result.

 

Oh i see, well i've done it anyway just to make sure but if you're saying it doesn't make that much of a difference then maybe it is.

 

curently im doing the crazy taxi stress test without add or remove anything from psu. only the airflow fix (the paper trick) 40 min of playing and tempratures are still ok (room temprature 25C) update
console temptrature not very hot but crazy taxi freeze at sega logo. also from the fan i can smell electronic smell i will put a second psu with the regulator removed

 

I did it ages ago last year and noticed not much of a difference or any detrimental side effects to games or the hardware.

Crazy Taxi test is SD card brand related and not a PSU related issue. I confirmed that months ago when I did my own tests.

 

Is there any posibility to sort games A-Z with MadSheeps SD Card Maker or any other Software?

 

a ok. the second crazy taxi test 1 hour and then freeze heres the sd i use
http://www.e-shop.gr/kingston-sd10vg2-32gb-32gb-sdhc-class-10-uhs-i-p-PER.557493
formated from laptop sd slot with fat32 and 64kb cluster using the classic windows format tool

 

You shouldn't have issues with that Kingston card as i have a 64gb and 128gb and they work fine with no crashes now, even after 24 hours straight with or without PSU mods. Unless it's fake??

I tested over 5 brands i.e sandisk, transend, komputer bay, samsung, intenso using 16, 32, 64gb and all failed with CT at some point.

The same applies to UGC by Mnemo as some pen drives and external usb drives fail the same way with CT, so problem does not relate to Gdemu. My guess that It's some sort of timing issue with that game and a few others like Confidential Mission and Hydro Thunder, as they too failed at random intervals on the demo loop, yet switching to the Kingston card for gdemu and a different hdd enclosure for ugc fixed it for me.

Try using EaseUS partition to format the card because I use that for mine and my hdd's and try a different SD reader, as some can cause problems.

 

ok i will use a usb card reader once i back to my parents home. and o will use the EaseUS full fomat or quick? cluster size 64kb??
hot to determine if its a fake one??
despite the loop freeze after an hour the games play ok

 

Yeah, despite the crashes the games will play okay but I wanted to be certain that no issues occured later on.

Quick format is fine using 64k clusters. H2testw can be used to check the full read and write access, etc to the card.

 

looks like im in trouble the gdemu crash after 1 hour of gameplay regadles the game. should i inform deunan?? heres the h2testw results

 

Are you using the modified PSU or the regular PSU. If you're using the regular PSU, maybe it overheats and if you're using the modified psu, are you sure you desoldered it correctly and the trace next to it.
