Trying to load this high quality SFD file on Sega Dreamcast as a GDI?

Post by Sonicx9 »

Hi, I just created a high quality SFD file that can possibly load on a stock Sega Dreamcast system via GDEMU as a custom GDI file, the SFD file is a full 640x480 at 30FPS with 3600kbps the max that a stock Sega Dreamcast can read natively if possible?

Here is the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e03SzH ... drive_link

If anyone here knows how to create a custom GDI that can read the file for GDEMU please post here to help me out thanks?

Which = What is 3600 Kilobits/Second in Kilobytes/Second?
3600 Kilobits/Second = 450 Kilobytes/Second

450kb/sec bitrate that's not the max for gdemu Not that HQ it's not max but pretty much it for a cdr..

So what is the max bitrate a SFD at full 640x480 at 30FPS can handle on the Sega Dreamcast via GDEMU?

Lot of movies converted here http://fuzzcast.hermes.feralhosting.com ... 29%20v2.0/

Look up fuzzcast you find 4gb movies in widescreen for gdemu .. As for bitrate you have to test real gdrom not a cdr has 1.2mb /12x so same as gdemu.. cdr is not the same speed max i got benchmark was just abit over 700kb/sec max
