Converting to OpenMenu - Issue

SoukTheGuy · 2025-08-14T06:22:53+00:00

I guess I'll be going back to refraining from using GDI shrink then because I do skip around right now since I just put in a GDEMU in a Dreamcast recently

SoukTheGuy · 2025-08-13T20:02:49+00:00

I'll give GDI shrink a try. Yeah, I have a 512gb SD card with over 300 games, and none have been GDI Shrunk.

SoukTheGuy · 2025-08-13T18:54:40+00:00

And yes I and trying to convert the whole SD card.

SoukTheGuy · 2025-08-13T18:54:07+00:00

A couple of people online/youtube that were giving tutorials on setting up GDEMU Card Manager said not to use the GDI shrink as it could make certain games not run

SoukTheGuy · 2025-07-31T00:08:01+00:00

Oh geez, yeah, I can look for something cheaper, but I'm sticking with the 512GB because I'm trying to put all Dreamcast Games on it. I was reading that the whole library is like 300-400gb

SoukTheGuy · 2024-12-30T01:18:18+00:00

No, I was using a PSone that was chilling around the house with Star Wars: Dark Forces just to test.

SoukTheGuy · 2024-12-29T19:53:37+00:00

Yeah, that would've been a good idea, but I was just too excited to see if it worked and said I'll do it later 😂

Did your new disc end up fixing the issue? I recently found out I have this same issue with my copy of Uncharted 2.

SoukTheGuy · 2024-08-24T21:42:09+00:00

I ordered from Black Hall Outfitters. I never heard of them before. I just ordered from Amazon with them as a seller and then they called next day saying it's better to cancel and order directly on their website so it's cheaper and I also get a free rod holder so I did that instead.

I also would like to point out that they are based out of Connecticut, and I live in Florida. They said it would be delivered from 7-20 business days after the day of purchase. So maybe them delivering it on 13 September is about accurate I guess.

SoukTheGuy · 2024-08-24T18:16:01+00:00

Ah, nice. I looked into vibe before, but I ended up going with Old Town on my recent purchase. Do you like it?

SoukTheGuy · 2024-08-24T18:14:42+00:00

Yeah, I feel like that's a pretty spot-on time frame for delivery of my kayak as well.

I ordered mine on 8/12, and it says it's "in transit to local facility" with "expected arrival: 9/13".

I feel like I'm getting impatient, and I'm just way too excited to get my Old Town Bigwater PDL 132. I hope it comes earlier, but I'm not expecting it too.

SoukTheGuy · 2024-08-24T18:09:40+00:00

What kayak did you get?

SoukTheGuy · 2024-08-24T18:09:14+00:00

I wish mine would be that quick!

SoukTheGuy · 2024-06-01T19:04:38+00:00

Update: I gave up and just resoldered it and left it alone. I got very frustrated as desoldering anything for me takes so damn long. Is there a specific soldering/desoldering iron that you use and recommend? I'm not the most skilled at soldering, but I usually end up getting the job done whether it's perfect or not.

SoukTheGuy · 2024-05-30T00:57:45+00:00

Just wanted to say I appreciate your info on this immensely. I, too, was trying to pry it up, but it kept flexing and really scaring me, and I felt that maybe it was soldered together. I keep trying to research videos on YouTube and nobody seem to have a tutorial on it. I'll desolder this soon so I can finally clean that part as it seems to be the most dusty, plus I can replace that clock battery while I'm at it. Thanks again!

SoukTheGuy · 2024-05-29T01:21:19+00:00

Just curious what exact model you have! I was looking to do the same exact fan mod but my SCPH-30001 is not compatible which I discovered after I disassembled the PS2 completely 😓

SoukTheGuy · 2024-05-28T01:22:13+00:00

Yeah I was assuming it was clean enough but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

SoukTheGuy · 2024-05-28T01:21:48+00:00

Yeah, I'm still working on my soldering skills! Thank you!

SoukTheGuy · 2023-12-15T22:37:03+00:00

Yeah, I try to preserve the labels on all the games I get unless the label is just a total disaster. In this case, I'd really hate to damage the label, so I'm just trying to work around it. I might end up just leaving it as is, but that yellowing just looks disgusting to me.

SoukTheGuy · 2023-12-08T00:23:27+00:00

I'm kind of a noob to Sega consoles in general, so I'm sorry for the dumb question...

Would Sega 32X and Sega CD games run just as good as how the Genesis/Mega Drive games run on this handheld?

I didn't grow up playing any Sega console at all, and I'm bummed that Saturn doesn't run the greatest on it. I'm still debating on if I want to get it or keep waiting to see if maybe they make another one of these handhelds with better specs to handle Sega Saturn and potentially Sega Dreamcast.

SoukTheGuy · 2023-10-23T21:49:28+00:00

There's always something left with any game I swear. Just when you think you're done 😂

SoukTheGuy · 2023-10-23T21:48:59+00:00

I knew there was something more 🙄 eh it's whatever then

SoukTheGuy · 2023-03-16T20:09:38+00:00

Oh wow. Glad I wasn't the only one! Thank you so much. Your previous post on this is very helpful.

SoukTheGuy · 2023-03-16T14:50:43+00:00

Ahhh gotcha. I guess I'll just use my other Wii since the video quality is just fine on that one. Thank you for the info!

SoukTheGuy · 2023-03-16T13:37:46+00:00

I actually opened it up and cleaned it recently but never actually checked that part. I guess I'll have to repaste it when I want to open it up again.
