Dreamcast GDI Compatibility List

[shwoaps]

Ok, so it looks that CF have no use for DMA. But in IDE it's really is noticeable.

Well i really didn't test sao for 10h with those settings. maybe 1h at best.

soul callibur: I can confirm, as one user said, soul calibur optimized does not work on IDE. With your settings, or different. I tested usa, pal, jpn versions. But i *didn't test repacked version* as that user suggested. Will do that when decide to take out my hdd.

But unfortunately this mean that your list for ide users isn't really useful. You have only few game that says support DMA. for IDE it's really important.

I don't see anywhere in your list that it's written for SATA, as i have IDE i automatically assumed that those settings are for IDE. Settings for CF ar ok, because it's written that they are for CF.

My advise would be, please write that your list is for SATA and CF, not for IDE. And that some games will work with those settings in IDE but settings are not optimal, and in some games performance difference will be big.

For example "soul reaver" on IDE works with dma true, and difference is huge. Because without DMA it's lagging(when i say lagging, it's really small lag, but big enough and constant for me, that i would not play it), because game is constantly loading in background. I guess in CF it's not noticeable, but on IDE it's.
Maybe it's noticeable only for me, because my IDE is 2.5 5200rpm. I guess on 3.5 7200 fast IDE it would be different. I don't know, i didn't tested it. But everything makes change, because of that, you need to write all testing data.
