Cdis are working fine but I can't get gdis to work. They show as two gdis on the reicast menu for some reason and it highlights both, but when I start it it just goes back to homebrew menu. I have all tracks in a folder with the gdi and selected the folder as a location for the rom.

That kept happening to me. I saw two or one gdi files that always appeared once I set the directory to Reicast/games. Then the hb menu kept kicking me off after selecting something. Maybe I should search for a Cdi version instead.

Testing right now, have you tried compressing them to chds?

Cdis definitely work, but I gdis can compress down to a fraction of the size for some games (Crazy Taxi should only be 70 megs).

The Sonic Adventure I ran is a .gdi and I didn't have any issues with it. It's a replayers rip, has Sonic Adventure (USA).gdi, Track01.bin, track02.raw, track03.bin all in a folder.

I've tried two .gdis (because I also tried them in .cdi and they didn't work) Ooga Booga and D2, and neither work yet they're the exact same rips I've been using on NullDC on my computer. I copied them from the computer to the switch.

@ Silverfrost208 Search "l4t lakka reicast nintendo switch" on YT and skip to 27:30. It seems to run great that way.

Edit: I had a nice big comment typed out but I had one hell of a time trying to post it since I can't post links yet. Even after removing all links and trying to say just to search it it wouldn't approve anything until I didn't do a direct reply >.>.
But in this video i've recorded the lakka version. Not this thread one.

Just tested, cdi, gdi, and chd all work fine for me.

Right, but I still disagree about the dreamcast games, lol. It is still sucks as much as the gamecube games to be honest with you. :) :)

If I don't like something I usually just ignore it. But here you are repeating over and over how "Dreamcast sucks" well no one is forcing you to use this. There's a million other threads you can visit.

Yeah I redownloaded the gdis and they work now. I think there was some corrupt files because when I tried to delete them from the switch using nxmtp it won't let me.

It's too bad you can't play Ooga Booga online anymore. That game is so much fun.
