I'm still wondering why Trickstyle doesn't work.

some games don't really work with the shrink method.
you can also look for a version that may have had an update, such as hidro thunder that has an updated version to correct a bug on the original disk. I for example did not follow to make buzz lightear 2 work with the shrink method

I have a problem though. Trickstyle appears to be broken. When I press start on the title screen que game freezes. The menu appears but without text, the music stops and that's it, it stays there. I can reset the console with the button combination we all know, and go back to the GDEMU menu. I'm playing on a NTSC console.

Any idea of what's going on?
1. Are you using RGB cables?
2. Do you have room for saves on vmu?

Maybe the file is corrupted and you need to download again.

RGB cables?. I don't know, I'm using the stock dreamcast video cable.
Yes, like 40 blocks or something I don't remember. How many do I need?.

are you using any accessory like vmu rumble pack or any other that is not official sega? I ask this because I had a bad experience with some games, because my rumble pack is not official sega. so games like resident evil 2 and starlancer don't work with it connected. next tetris works, but at an insanely slow frame rate, making it unplayable. perhaps this could be the case.

Nope, I only have the official VMU connected and that's all.

Download again and put back on card. If it doesn't work I'll re-up it.

No. It always worked. Sometimes MEGA is doing maintenance but users can still download. Files can become corrupt during this time. Sometimes you just have to wait and download again. This collection works.
