In this episode I put a spotlight on the Atomiswave, the arcade-only successor to the Sega Dreamcast. A recent "wave" of ports have made the Atomiswave library playable on modified Dreamcasts. The games work great for the most part, but a few titles keep freezing up on me. Any help from fellow modders is welcome in the comments!

I had bought a serial port SD card reader with Dreamshell a while back but never got around to using it, recently saw that it may be possible to run these on my DC using it, my word does it run all of these Atomiswave games beautifully! Great video, and nice to see the Dreamcast have some life left in it!😎

I was having the same issue. I reformatted the sd card many times and to no avail. When I researched games freezing or restarting on dreamcast, i saw that if you remove the psu, clean the pins, add flux, and then let solder flow down the pins it will alleviate the issue. Since I did that, all the games run perfect with no problems.

worth also noting that the sidways swirl logo also features A and W shapes contained within it. So it's a clever wee thing.

It looks like the connector on the bottom of that cartridge would fit into the connector that the GD-ROM/GDemu/MODE connects to on the Dreamcast. I'm not sure that square cartridge would fit in the Dreamcast's shell but I'd be very curious to see what would happen if one attempted to run the cartridge on the Dreamcast.

you have to defrag your SD card that is high quality for GDEmu for no freezes. MODE is much more forgiving.

@dreamcazman 3 жыл бұрын

I had a lot of issues originally, then ended up wiping my SD card & reloading fresh copies of the games. Everything works fine now except MS6 still freezes for me occasionally, I put it down to an issue with the game itself rather than the hardware.

The style and presentation of your videos are awesome! I enjoyed watching this video. I've just recently been fortunate enough to pickup a Sammy Atomiswave motherboard with genuine games: SS6, Demolish Fist, and Knights of Valour. Unfortunately, the Metal Slug 6 I received is fake :( so I still need to get hold of a copy of that...but the prices are astronomical!! Anyway, I've just discovered your channel...so just subscribed :)

I like to believe atomiswave games would've been dreamcast releases if it had lasted through the 6th gen. feels like a hidden library of dc games...some great ones too.

Either clean the pins on the power supply connect to or try a sdhc sd card. The Gdemu doesn't officially support sdxc sd cards. Using the wrong type sd card might cause freezing or crashing during gameplay.

You can play these on CD-r but some games stutter as it is always loading.. SD card will need a defrag to allow better and quicker data access.

If not modded with the gdemu can these games be ran from a disc?

@GamersOverdriveRetroMode 3 жыл бұрын

I've learned from the comments that it is possible, but the disc speed is currently a limitation that hasn't been worked around yet.

@werk4408 3 жыл бұрын

So this is only possible because of the hardware in the Gdemu or Mode? I mean is it possible to burn the actual game + whatever is required to run it on Dreamcast on a blank CD and play them that way on a Dreamcast that does not have Gdemu or Mode?

@GamersOverdriveRetroMode 3 жыл бұрын

They can also be burned to a cd from what I have heard. I haven't tried it myself but I'm pretty sure you can.

@werk4408 3 жыл бұрын

@@GamersOverdriveRetroMode Just did some more in depth research (which I should have done beforehand duh) and yes it is technically possible. Unfortunately it is very early days and the support is far from ideal. Apparently some games might work that way eventually without downsides while others might never work. This is due to the fact that the original games read the data from the cartridge, which offers higher data transfer speeds than a CD/GDR. Will keep an eye on the status but as long as I can play Dolphin Blue one day I'll be content! Thanks for the video btw ^^
