Have some weird issue on Ghost Blade HD on pc. Game runs perfekt but.... 

After finishing game... After credits a loading screen appears and after 20 seconds game closes with ctd... I installed this game on my win 10 64 bit first edition. I don't wanna update this Windows cause there are also my Teknooarrot colelction installed which is running great. Is it possible that the problem on Ghost Blade HD occur from the windows version? Is there a fixed exe out there? 

 

Thanx

Thank you so much for this. I've been looking for it for some time.

 

However, this is CCD+IMG+SUB... Will it work for GDemu? I think it's only CDI or GDI...?

 

 

EDIT: nevermind, I found it: 


https://archive.org/download/DreamcastSelfBoot/G/Ghost%20Blade.zip

 

Did you get this to actually work?? I tried it with the redream emulator and it didn't work.

Sadly, it didn't work with GDemu either, but I didn't know until a few hours ago.

 

I found another one, in IMG/CCD/SUB format: 


https://replayers.org/dc-iso/ghost-blade/

 

Thats the one that I tried and could not get it to work. Surely there is a version that works out there somewhere. I know you can buy it for the switch for 8.99 or steam for 9.99. I'm going to keep trying before I actually buy it though.

Ghost Blade (Hucast) | Dreamcast | CDI

https://bit.ly/2JVEucH

 

Just been cleaning up my dreamcast collection and had trouble with Ghost Blade. This CCD image in the link above is the only one that I found that works, but you must use Demul. If anyone has a cdi or chd image that works with Flycast please share.

 

[Edit] Found that Ghost Blade (USA Japan) (Unl) (Rerelease) (cue and bin version) also work with Redream but you MUST use the original Dreamcast Bios. None of the .cdi or .chd versions I used work. And nothing works with flycast unfortunately.

It works.

 

Two choices. 1. The .CCD version only works with Demul, 2. The Cue/Bin version works with Redream but you must make sure you use the dreamcast bios with redream (copy dc_boot.bin into the redream folder and rename boot.bin). If you don't do that the cue/bin will not work.

 

Either way you are not losing much. It is a game made to trap buyers only looking at screenshots. The art only looks nice when still, the animations are miserable and often non-existent. Seeing tanks glide like on ice is pretty bad. Ghost Blade HD has the same issue, I thought the lower resolution of the dreamcast would be more forgiving and it is to a certain extent but this is not on the level of Ikaruga or Blazing Star on the Neo Geo for example.

C'est chiant la ligne de commande change par machine et type de rooms.

Pour ce jeu: demul.exe -run=dc -image=c:\roms\dream\gb.ccd

Change juste le chemin pour correspondre a l'endroit ou tu as les 3 fichiers de la rom pour ghostblade

Il faut le chemin complet pour gb.ccd c:/blabla/toto/milou/gaston/gb.ccd par example. N'oublie pas la rom dc.zip bien sur du bios de la dreamcast dans le bon repertoire pour demul

1. Tu as le .ccd .img et .sub dans le même repertoire?

2. Quelle version de demul tu utilises? Moi 0.7 alpha build date Aug 18 2016

3. Tu as bien GD-ROM plug-in mis a gdrImage?

parfait ducon2016 !!!

le problème venait de la version de demul et aussi du gd-rom plugins !

il faut bien celle dont tu m'as parlé du 18/08/2016......

alors par contre je conseille de mettre les fichiers ccd/img/sub du jeu dans le dossier principal de demul et non dans un sous-dossier dans \roms pour le lancement par ligne de commande

merci pour ton aide !

La version CDI que j'ai marche très bien avec la dernière version officielle de DEmul 28/04/2018

https://www.mediafire.com/file/w00we6jm2ak946v/The_Ghost_Blade.cdi/file

:)

 

Merci. Faut que je mettes Demul a jour meme si je l'avais abandonné pour Flycast depuis belle lurette. Ennuyeux que ce jeu tourne toujours pas sur flycast alors qu'il marche meme avec redream. Par contre la performance est naze avec redream. Donc demul est le seul choix pour moi.

Je trouve que le jeu est moins joli en HD a cause du type de sprites, donc la version dreamcast semble le bon milieu. Il est pas génial mais pas si mal sur dreamcast a part les gros sprites sans animations.

So I tested the Dreamcast version, which is still nice of course ;) 
with the latest build that hippopippo and the .CDI version of the game that Houb posted 
and it works perfectly =)

Demul 2019:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/82xqs2hbnwugxxh/demul_2019.7z/file

 

Version CDI The Ghost Blade

https://www.mediafire.com/file/w00we6jm2ak946v/The_Ghost_Blade.cdi/file

  

Create a .bat file and paste this command into it then put the .bat file at the root of Demul:

Start demul.exe -run=dc -image=".\roms\The Ghost Blade.cdi"
Exit

 

Put the iso in the "roms" folder launch Demul to configure it and don't forget to put "gdrImage" in GD-ROM plug-in. Close Demul once all this is done and launch the Game via the .bat file

I tested this unofficial 2019 Demul version and it's not so good:

- I didn't find anything better nor fixed compared to last official 2018/04/28

- The romset is nearly the same

- Some DC games don't work anymore (the game fails to start), at least these ones :

DUX, DUX 1.5, Last Hope Pink Bullets, Neo XYX,  Redux Dark Matters, Sturmwind

 

So for now I will still use 280418 build available here : http://demul.emulation64.com/files/demul07_280418.7z

 

 

PS : I also discovered that some games were recently successfully patched to work on VGA output :)

- Kof99 Evo https://www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16508&p=177468#p177468

Some others games too

It works Houb, I play DC with Flycast apart from 3 or 4 games like xeno or ghostblade so on Demul, 
I didn't really see any problems with the 2019 version but it's good to have pushed the test to the limit on your side. 
I believe that the 2019 version has been optimized for Gaelco and Hikaru games but it is to be confirmed

Has anyone managed to make chds work for flycast for DUX, Fast Striker, Gun Lord, Neo XYX or Sturmwind? The flycast code seems to handle it "bool isGdrom = head->version < 5;    // MIL-CDs only supported starting with CHD v5" but did not find any working CHD image for those.

Thanks for the test, I actually moved away from Demul. Sound was completely broken randomly for years and fullscreen as well depending on the machines. I only use it now for Hikaru (1 game) and DC (1 game). Hopefully flycast will work for those at some point and then goodbye demul. It was fantastic initially but unfortunately did not keep up.

Salut ducon2016,

 

J'utilise retroarch avec le core flycast pour la dreamcast, 

tous les jeux sont en .chd a part une 10aine qui sont en .cdi

Mais ils tournent quand meme sous flycast en .cdi ou .chd

J'ai pas l'impression que l'emulateur se met a jour.

 

la liste des jeux en .cdi :

 

-Agartha

-Alice Dream Tournament

-Arcade Racing Legends

-DUX 1.5

-Fast Striker

-Finding Teddy

-Gunlord

-Neo XYX

-Intrepid Izzy

-Last Hope Pink Bullet

-Last Hope

-Millenium Racer

-Redux Dark Matter

-Shadow Gangs

-Sturmwind

-The Escapee

(Si tu les passes en .chd ils ne fonctionnent plus avec retroarch et le core flycast)

 

Et j'utilise Demul pour :

 

-Satazius Next

-The Ghost Blade

-Wolflame

-Xenocider

Oui pareil c'est justement ce que je voulais resoudre. J'ai reussi a faire marcher Sturmwind et Gunlord en chd an prennant les "GDI Rebuilded" sur le site russe, et en convertissant ces GDIs en CHD avec chdman. Par contre DUX/Neo XYZ n'ont pas de GDI, et celui de Fast Striker il lui manque des trucs le fichier est trop petit, donc j'ai abandonne l'approche les "GDI rebuilded" n'ont pas l'air trop fiables.

c'est vrai qu'on pourrait gagner quelques Go de place en les passant en .chd mais comme tu dis c'est pas si simple, y'a des iso de jeux qui ont plusieurs fichiers .bin a l'interieur et sa fout la merde avec chdman

Les .chd les plus recents sont de 2022

Ils ne fonctionnent pas tous, memes bug qu'on rencontre en mettant nos .cdi en .chd

les DUX le son deconne, Ghost blade crash apres le SplashScreen, les Last Hope ne se lancent pas du tout ... etc ...

Je laisse le lien quand meme.

It still crashes for me after the warning screen 

Yes, with Flycast it doesn't work, the redumps before putting in .chd must not be done well I suppose
Flycast only works with .cdi versions when .chd version does not work
