I had freeze ups during the demo using the original download. Also during game play. I decided to take the advice of Megavolt after reading the FAQ thread."even small delays on the SD card cause the game to freeze"

https://www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/vi ... 40#p136836

This got me thinking maybe I just needed a faster SD card, or a fresh format. Anyways, I bought a faster SD card since I needed more space as well. The read/write speed of my old card maxed out around 18mbps. This new one maxes out around 30mbps. So about double the read/write speed.

After installing the new SD card. I tried the original NeoGeo BC download. And all freeze up issues were resolved.

I have yet to try the new download Megavolt just posted. I am under the impression some issues people experience might not have anything to do with fixes Megavolt is attempting. As much as I do appreciate his work, we should equally be testing our end to rule out all the different hardware aspects that could be causing issues.

I am using a USB-GDROM (latest firmware) and a usb to microsd adapter. MicroSD card is 256gb Sandisk @ 30mbps.

set youtube to 720p 60fps Correct settings at time stamp 0:32

There's some stutter between loading nothing much in game is fine some slowdown but it's nothing really to stop you playing well.. And the real game has slow down..

I am using a 4gb old sd card and I dont get much issues
With this test game runs flawless actually loads really fast and just like Ian I get a lil skip stutter before the stage loads but in game is totally fine.. so this is just my assumption but sd cards may or may not be a factor as I have a really old 4gb and they seem to work just as good as Ian's class 10

Your card might be of HQ then some these old ones people are using.. Just not the same in the way it's made.. I know i have older cards that dont work as well..


I'm using a 32gb card not having a problem yet people say you need a smaller card ..

Also the serial port readers are not all the same or made as well from china.. got factors like this
