NEW UPDATABLE GDEMU CLONES! Comes stock with the latest 5.20 firmware!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- A brand new GDEMU clone just dropped recently over on aliexpress.
These clones ship with the latest Gdemu Firmware and are apparently updateable.
The description claims the update process is difficult so don't try updating via traditional means.
I've reached out to the seller and will do an update video if they provide clear instructions.
For those not in the know, The gdemu is ODE device for the Sega Dreamcast that allows you to play the entire DC library from an SD card.
Official Gdemus have been nearly impossible to get for years, luckily they were cloned many moons ago. Unfortunately the clones could not be updated and were stuck on 5.15 firmware.
The latest 5.20 firmware fixes the following issues
Resident Evil Code Veronica puzzle bug is now fixed
Skies of Arcadia intro cutscene no longer freezes
Atomiswave ports are more stable.

Enter the following line in your gdemu.ini file for improved Atomiswave support

I played Code Veronica all the way through using a clone GDEMU I got over 4 years ago and was able to play Dolphin and Metal Slug 6 and had no problems with Skies of Arcadia.
Watching this video I realized the gdemu I just got recently is a 5.15b I'm going to try these games out that have bugs and see what happens
@@BMR86 how did the test go
PSA!
The change disc function does not work on these devices.
I figured out how to get it to work by cutting a trace and jumping two wires here.

Did the seller ever reply to you about upgrading the firmware? Doe's it use the official firmware or is it a custom build designed for the clones ?
waiting also..... I have an older version of the GDMU. ;(
Wow, I got a 5.15 clone for around $35, though it does make sense why the 5.20 is more expensive.
its more expensive because it can be updated and plays all games?
@@partypat7229 It's more expensive because FPGA parts have exploded in prices...
Can you do a vid on firmware updating gdemu? I can't get the .fw to get recognized in the main directory of my sd card or in the gdemu folder.
where did you download firmware 5.20.3? (i got a v5.20 )
could you give us a link?
thank you
did you ever update the FW? I bought an updatable one with FW 5.20.3 and asked when I bought it on how to actually update it, but received an uncomplete manual in chinese on how to do it.
Now with 5.20.5 released, I asked Retroscaler again and he stated it could be done with the normal GDEmu update from the original site.
SOOOOOOOOO I'm not quite sure if I want to risk it
Finally got this clone it's great and they fixed the switch disk button
Any updates on how to proceed with updating these gdemu's?!
Does Tomb raider games work? if they do I'm sold.
Great info here 👍 I almost bailed out of the video at the intro, but I'm glad I stayed.
haha the intro is how I weed out the normies :D
Tomb raider games should work fine on older revisions. They can't be gdi shrunk though. Replace your tomb raider games with unshrink gdis and you should be fine.
I also have a GDMU with version 5.15.o ....Please keep us updates on any possiblity it might be updatable.
New Sub! Dryden, MI
Wanted one of these, still have my OG Dreamacst, I bought used at a Detroit Flea Market for $90 with 4 Games in 2000.
Need to do a Case Swap, Finally Purchase this, and a Few other updates:
Nice Job
Hy,
on Aliexpress in your video the GDEMU was listet 85$... now is 250$. I have a original USB-GDROM Controller. What is the value? Me USB external and 2TB HDD Support.
Do you still have it, interested in selling?
@@AdrianDX Hello, yes I still have the USB gdrome controller. But I don't know if I want to sell it. It depends on the price.
i have the files and have written a guide on how to update the new clone v5.20 gdemu's and have messaged you on twitter 🙂
i will send it to you there as you can't post links like that on youtube.
Link or help finding your work please?
300$ Canadian for the clone!!!! Will price ever drop?
Price is 200$ca for the 5.20. The 5.15b is like 160-180$ca. Bought a japanese dreamcast 2 months ago, and still waiting for the prices to go back to normal. In fact, I dont even know if it will work because in japan theres no V1 or V2 dreamcast...
Be interesting to see the update procedure, and if it can be applied to 5.15b and flashed via JTAG.
What's the additional wire on the button, I don't remember doing that on mine 🤔
AFAIK any of the previous 5.15b clones are unflashable. these new ones are on the latest firmware already and marketed as updateable.
@@ModzvilleUSA I've not looked too much into it, but thought that the bootloader changed from 5.15 to 5.20 and as it had a vulnerability in 5.15 it was cloned. 5.20 isn't vulnerable in the same way, but if it has been dumped (with the bootloader) I'm hopeful it could be flashed to a 5.15 🤔
Hi! Please, can you upload the gdemu sd files? the 01 folder. I've a lot of problems with my Gdemu and I think it can be the problem... Thanks.
Was the wire you soldered for the door switch?
Manufactured in 2021
Great!!! Do you know why after formatting the SD and inserting the games, the "Loading..." screen appears and it takes so many seconds to load which it didn't do before, can you give me some advice? Thank you
Thx !
damnnnn prices are getting to expensive, I wanted to purchase a gdemu when the clones appeared, they costed around 70 dollars but now some are over 200 dollars, I'll wait for a offer or just keep playing with emulators, the only reason I wanted an ODE for my dreamcast was that emulators are not fully compatible with all the games and not even those ODE are fully compatible from what I read.
it steal work on 3.3V - 1 Ver - DC-Mother Board ? I hawe - Japan DC , and i don't khow the Ver-Mother board ....
Did you get any information about update the GDEMU?
This is very good news , Thanks for the heads up.
Fantastic Tut!
Updatable clone. Havent had an update since 2016 🤭
Dogeymon83 here from the future. Which version should I get now and from where?
I order today the newest version 5.20.5 from ali express, is 18€ more expensive then the version 5.20.3 but i get a 8gb sd card to. Is unshame how mutch expensive the gdemu go in the last 2 years. But what i will do? Yesterday i buy a dreamcast with broken cd rom for 30 bugs 😊
Cool vid. I have both GDEMU (v5.15) and MODE.
Though I prefer MODE, I may check out the new GDEMU just to compare them.
GDEMU v5.2 not work with Atomiwave to DC GDI file
My atomiswave games work fine here
hey friend where did you get that metal logo i need one
I would like to see a laptop hard drive installed on dream cast but keep the CD rom so I can copy my disc games directly on the hard drive and add some from ISO's
Can I use the SD card I use on my older GDEMU? Or do I need to set something up on it? Wondering if I can just do a simple swap. Thank you 😊
I got a gdemu online last year it is on 5.5 is it a clone ?
Yes it’s a clone. 5.5 isn’t the firmware, check the firmware version in gdmenu. It’s likely 5.15
@@ModzvilleUSA ah ty
They are all clones online, unless you buy direct from the main dev Duenan Knute
Was Resident Evil Code Veronica issue actually fixed?
how do you convert the games from bin files to cdi?
99 / 5.000

does it work with the previous gdemu?, yes, can you upload only the update to insert in the sd?
The 5.15 clones aren't updateable in any way AFAIK
@@ModzvilleUSA I bought the one you mentioned on aliexpress, let's see when it arrived, I still have one but a pro version, I couldn't update it either
Awesome news !!
Cool, I'm surprised it has taken them this long to crack it. I moved on to the MODE last year and never looking back.
I have a MODE in my saturn and it's nice. I'm not a fan of the price or the DRM that they have on their products.
I do use mode in my Saturn, but gdemu has vastly faster load times than mode in a Dreamcast.
Check out retrorgb’s side by side video. Gdemu loads 3x faster than mode.
Does the audio stutter on Atomiswave games? The audio in Metal Slug 6 was very choppy.
That was likely due to my Elgato Capture card which has been acting wonky with audio for a while.
@@ModzvilleUSA so the audio was ok on your end and the skipping is only a product of the capture?
@@MarceloMedeirosb I’d have to test on my tv,, ill let you know
@@ModzvilleUSA Hello! did you check if the audio skipping is present on your end? I'm about to buy the gdemu and want to confirm this before buying
I have not got my dreamcast on hand at the moment but can tell you it was 1 of the 1st japaneese ones to come out . it boots self boot back ups ok . will this gd emu work on my console ? and what is a VA1 dreamcast ?
VA1 is the second (most common version), it uses 3.3v for the optical drive where as the first version (VA0) uses 5v, hence the warning about damage.
@@kurbeco any visual clues or would we need to check with a Multimeter
@@Rick_Todd If it's Japanese, then you need to look at the fan slot. If it's a Metal Fan it's a VA0. Watch my VA0 Gdemu video as it needs a resitor mod to safely use a gdemu.
If the fan is black then it's a Va1 or Va2. To tell the difference between a va1 or va2 take the top shell off and look at the gdrom, if it connects with a series of wires then it's a va2
@@Rick_Todd On the label on the console, towards the bottom right it will say NTSC. To the left of that will be number in a circle. 0 for VA0, 1 for VA1.
Also if you have a metal fan, it's mostly likely a VA0 (though I have a VA1 with a metal fan).
Finally, the GD-ROM drive assembly has the voltage embossed in the metal
@@ModzvilleUSA Cool Cheers
idolo men, eres un crack!
Why do you always call people crack ? 😆
Quick Question.
There are only a few DC games I want and one is an RPG called Albert Oddesey.
Hope it works on it and my main question is this. Do these modded systems like this do anything that speeds up games or load times? Because that Albert Odessey game has horrible load times when you enter and exit combat. Like 45 sec wait time.
Yeah load speeds with a GDEMU or M.O.D.E are way faster then with the optical drive.
@@ModzvilleUSA Great. So which one do I buy? I seen these go for $450 on Etsy.
Does it matter if I get a knock off or original or whatever? I'm not looking to do anything other then get that SD card with all DC games and play them. Not homebrew games or whatever.
What do you suggest?
