@Zimada, there already is google table of compatibility. ... But you did not find it. So most of users won't find it either.

The thing is to keep everything simple, but clear.

I found this tables first of all. (first: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...rk/pubhtml second: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...li=1#gid=0 ) And only after i saw both lists, i starting all my modifications on console. Actually both lists is too old for this days.
When i'm starting testing games from this lists, i saw that not all IMPORTANT INFO this lists have.

Example: MARSMATRIX (EU) - work in DS4 RC3. (right now it is work perfectly with RC4)
I downloaded GDI, optimize it, add GDI on my HDD, start console with bootloader bios, and MARSMATRIX is NOT WORK! I'm try different things ("async" options, DMA, loader addreses), but no luck.
Than i starting my console from bootloader CD with original bios and "voila!", MarsMatrix start playing from HDD without any problems.

Sturmwind (new shooter from HUCAST) works great, but with DS4 RC3 ONLY, with tricky settings for "loader memory".

"Polyko SD" (good platformer-timekiller) work for me but only with DS4 RC1...

Radirgy - work but only with NTSC JP/US region consoles

But i'm not see any infos about all this "differences" in both lists, and in this thread too...

Many games right now (like IKARUGA) works perfectly for RC4, but we steel not have "right" compatibility list, where everyone may see all settings (What kind BIOS use for this game or for this one, What kind of loading method use CDBootloader or may be IGR bootloadder.bios with hdd and new DS core, actual name of GDI image or CDI image that work ) This is what we talking about here. "The correct list" for all games that work on console with dreamshell, with all "settings" for this.
