problems with PSO AND GDEMU

so i recently got a gdemu clone version 5.51B and im using SD card maker tool however every time i try to load the PSO dc ives aleron pack to the sd maker app i get the error message in the pic below any ideas or options im stumped

nothing i do works still cant get the dc ives versions to load into the sd maker i just wanna be able to play PSO on my GDEMU sorry im still new to this

if it matters i only get the error when loading PSO all other GDI games load into the sd maker program just fine

Hello dreamcast459,

Welcome

Format the SD card normally.

Make a floder called 01

Put Ives cdi file in the folder

That should work fine

Good luck

thanks but why wont it work with the sd maker tool?

I don't know that software. I have never used it.

Maybe it needs gdi files rather than .cdi ??

nah it supports cdi too its a tool from madsheep

Ives .cdi is optimised and has fixes. Maybe some of that breaks compatibility.

maybe

I've never used that tool, so I can't help. Putting the CDI in a folder works fine.

does it have to be the first folder on the list in the menu

Hi dreamcast459,

I put all my games in folder 01

Because they are all on different cards .

With the price of cards these days I decided to do that rather than messing about.

You cannot use the menu. You need to put PSO in folder 01 so that it boots without ever using GDMENU. Put PSO on a separate SD card from your other games or put GDMENU in folder 02 and press the button when you want to play a game other than PSO.

Thanks for this info!!
