Hello!
I have a standard Dreamcast with the factory GD-ROM drive.
On it, the menu loads in about 10 seconds, and after pressing Start the game takes around 80 seconds to load. After that it runs fine.

Redream has issues and seems to fail to run the game.
Flycast (default settings) runs the game, but the FMV becomes sluggish and the shadow volumes turn pitch black and show some bugs.
Flycast with a real Dreamcast BIOS loaded has been reported to run the game just like on a real Dreamcast.
I was about to test it with DreamShell, but my TV malfunctioned, so I’m not sure about that one yet.

You’re the first person trying it using MODE 🙂 So I guess it might be suffering from the same issue as Redream.

@Rogério Perdiz I managed to get it working. But it's weird, only a specific (unofficial) wireless controller seems to work on my Dreamcast. I replied to DarkPath above in full.

But to answer your question re. Emulators. I tried ReDream and NullDC. Both failed to register my controller presses.

Though the emulators themselves did register the controllers. Like I can navigate the ReDream menus with the controller, but it fails to play the game.

I've never used Flycast. I'll try that in future. But, as I say, I got it working now🥳

Great demo btw! I know it's not fully finished yet but really cool to see what could be possible 😎🤘

That's awesome news! Thanks for the update.

Yesterday I gave a try to the most recent version and now it runs on ReDream... in fact it runs a bit too well. The game is locked to 30 FPS, but in ReDream runs at 60 FPS 😆

Shadow volumes and .roq fmv still don't work but that is not a problem on our end, only the emulator guys that can solve it.

Thanks, you're a pal! :) Have a great time!
