Skies of arcadia dreamcast gdi1/26/2024 That is a good thing because I save my brain from being roasted by those stupid commercials and I've also started working on the VGA compatibility for some games like Skies of Arcadia. I had to move to a new place recently and there is no TV. How stupid I was! It's over now and I'm going to invest into SSD drives. That is what happened to me those past weeks and I delegated the survival of my data to a Toshiba hard drive. Sometimes you are in the rush and you can't handle everything. Well I know I should have put it online or whatever. Without them, my work would have been nearly impossible! Anyway, my only hard drive that had a copy of my work died so I'll get back to that, for sure, but later this year. First of all, special thanks to those guys that made the emulation possible. Update: works fine on my TV in 60hz using the scart cable so I guess we can say that patch is working correctly :)Īfter spending hours or even days disassembling and reading the Dreamcast BIOS, I could point out some entry points and modify small parts of it. I'm pretty sure some people will do some hex-compare, patch, re-built and eventually release a CDI image or even a patched GD dump so that you just have to burn it or copy it on your gdemu/usb-gdrom board.ĭownload: jc-soae-60hz-vga.zip jc-soae-60Hz-vga-v2.zip (New version - same thing but I cleaned one little thing up :) For those that were waiting for a ready-to-use solution, since there are at least two releases (TOSEC GDI dump and Echelon) and 2 discs per release, it is simpler for me to provide a patch just for the main binary and not for an disc image. Now you just have to rebuild the game image and try it out. Skies of Arcadia uses 2 discs but the 1ST_READ.BIN is strictly the same on both. If you don"t know how to use patch files, no worries, I've also included the patched version of the 1ST_READ.BIN. In the archive, you will find a ppf file that must be applied to the 1ST_READ.BIN file that you get from a TOSEC GDI dump. I've only tested the VGA mode on real hardware, so if someone could test it on a TV, using, I don't know, a SCART cable, that would be great. Moreover, the patch adds the VGA support to the game. This patch makes the game run in 60Hz, as oppose to the original euro version that is stuck to 50Hz. Here is a patch for the european version of Skies of Arcadia.
