Unofficial Deunan's GDEMU Thread

regular psu with the 12v removed the heat is the same as if i used a gdrom. no other modifications

 

Did you also do the trace next to the 3 pins you desoldered ?

you meen to remove the small resistor? yes i did ther is no 12 volt out i check with multimeter pin 1 of the psu=3.3v pin 2=5.02 pins 3-4-5=gnd and between pin 6 and gnd= 0v. but @krisk77 said that the heat and the gdemu crash are not related. after a crash (yellow light blinking) i restart and the games freeze again after 1 hour. so its not the heat i thing. also the heat levels are same as were with the gdrom. @krisk77 i check about if the sd is fake looks is not the store i buy is assosiate with kingston and the head in the top right is changing shape when view it from different angle so is genuine i think

 

You don't have another PSU or SD laying around there somewhere to check ? Well i guess you could contact him but normally he checks the boards before shipping it so i doubt it could be the GDEMU. But you can, he's a nice guy and always replies correctly.

 

another psu yes i have its unmodded tho. but the volts are correct so.....

 

Well try to check with the unmodded one. Problem could always be PSU related.

 

i will give it a try tommorow. also all psu motherboard conectors are cleaned with alcohol but i will try the unmodded psu

 

You repasted the GPU correctly ? But you probably already know that but i hope for you it works.

 

ahh yes its ok

 

Like I have said many times before, it's not a heat issue with the PSU to why Crazy Taxi crashes after some time (until someone proves me wrong) so removing the 12v will not make a difference to why that game crashes unless the PSU is faulty. Try a few a un-modded PSU's, if you have any to eliminate any possible problems with a faulty one before messing with the 12V.

However, if you are saying now that the issue is with any game now, then that would possibly indicate a GPU issue or a fault with the GDEMU too. How well did the system perform using the stock drive? Did you get crashes using backups/original discs beforehand?

 

no with stock gdrom the system played for hours without issues. so checking with another psu is my option now. also i buy a usb3 to sd adapter i format my sd with easeus fat32 with 64kb cluster as you suggest and i use madsheep to ad the gdis with region free and menu ticked. i will retest with the new formated sd, and the other unmodded psu,
update
2 hours with the 2nd unmoded psu and the dc is rock solid. now i remember why i had 2 psus i had once a dc that suffers the reboot problem i was 17 years old and i was thinking that the problem was mainboard. i keep the psu because it gives correct voltage. but now i think the clips on the problematic psu that the motherboard pins are inserted must be dirt or bent nevermind i will ad a 12v fan or a 300ohm resistor on the good psu

no its still bad with the 2nd psu the dc from cold start can play 3 hours but when crash after i restart (dc still hot) it freeze no more than half an hour. so i tighten the psu motherboard contacts and i put a solder to mobo pins to tight fit. now im testing.i beleave the problem its a bad conection between the psu and the mobo. but lets see something else the stock thermal pads are any good or they detiorate after the years?
question all my games are pal exept my moded resident evil code veronica it has a usa 1st_read.bin in emulators the game run 60hz as it shoud since its usa but with gdemu it runs at 50hz any ideas?? im using the standar component cable.
update
still freezing are any reports about that dc want a reflow?? im suspecting cold solder either on cpu or gpu

 

Yeah it's probably the gpu.

 

just to make sure i give the gdemu to a friend and he give me his gdrom (mine is dead) i let my dc play over night and its ok. he found his dc freezed up. the led is blinking 3 times pause 3 times and in his dc as well. deunan said thats not good we try with another sd and its the same.

 

Testing out my GDEMU, I was starting up Skies of Arcadia and watching the demo/teaser when it sort of froze: Once it got to the scene with the silver blob monster winking at the screen it just stayed on that screen not moving, but it wasn't really frozen because if I hit start it would still take me to the title screen. This is a real minor glitch, and doesn't get in the way of playing as I said, just wondering if anyone else can repeat this or if maybe it's the GDI I have? Can anyone else run Skies of Arcadia's demo for me and check it out?

I'm sure it's not my GDEMU as it passed the Crazy Taxi stress test and like I said the game still plays fine after the "freeze".

 

i dont own the game. but for testing perposes im always using emulators try your game with the demul emulator if happens find another gdi. this game have been problematic even on original disc

 

Good idea! So I just ran it on my PC and it didn't freeze at the same point and instead carried on playing the demo so I'm guessing it can't be the GDI. Now I'm really curious if I found a common glitch for that game with GDEMU.

 

sory didnt read corect is playing ok on demul?? did you patch your image when you add it to sd?? but your console pass crazy taxi stress test that meens gdemu ok with compatible sd card
just curius witch sd your using??

 

I'm using a 32gb Kingston (the one listed in the OP: SD10VG2/32GB).

And yeah, it's running fine in demul. I did not patch the image, just put the raw GDI on there through GDEMU SD.

 

we are using the same sd. mm maybe its a gdemu related glitch. did you update your gdemu with latest fw?

 

Another thing to eliminate is to test stuff using the ODE without the menu (default folders using the button to cycle images)

I will test Skies on mine, which is a 2014/V5.4 PCB and also on a new ODE from the latest batch Deunan sent this month (Aug 2015 V5.5) as I picked up another one for a project I'm doing. Out of curiosity what date and version stamp did you get on yours?
