I've released a patch to fix graphic palette corruption issues specifically on the FM Towns Marty (not most/all of the regular computers) for the game "Taito Chase H.Q." You can read more about the patch and download it here: github.com/DerekPascare...

You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

(1/9) Almost two and a half years after releasing my "Virtua Cop 2" English patch for Dreamcast, I've put out v1.1 with fixes for the audio popping and the game starting at 50 Hz on PAL consoles using RGB! DOWNLOAD: github.com/DerekPascare...

A big update for openMenu! As such, I've bumped it up to v1.7.0 😎 As always, Windows and Linux users need only to open Card Manager and let the auto-updater do its thing. A manual update is still required for macOS users. github.com/DerekPascare...

Well, I've spent time writing custom diagnostic tools and have done EVEN MORE testing. Situation isn't as dire as I initially thought, but there are still problems. Read more here: dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewto...

(1/3) People have been asking me about this redesigned GDEMU clone (Dreamcast ODE). So I bit the bullet, bought one, and tested it. Firstly, all of the "faster speeds" stuff is pure marketing bullshit. Timing is handled by GDEMU firmware, and it's delicate. You don't want to arbitrarily increase.

Full mouse support is coming in the next release of openMenu (along with all sorts of other stuff). See the current list of changes here: github.com/DerekPascare...

Installed a MIDI board in one of my FM Towns units today. For the curious, there aren't a ton of English-friendly games that support MIDI on this computer. That doesn't mean it's not awesome to have though 😎 Tested Genocide and an impressive doujin shooter named Rumstorm.

(1/2) 27 years ago, @SEGA graced North America with its final console, the Dreamcast. Needless to say, that little off-white box holds a very special place in my heart. I have years of fond memories associated with the machine and the friends and family with whom I played it.

I'm cooking up a new feature for my openMenu fork: online support! This feature will support DreamPi and BBA/LAN Adapter and is used for... • Seeing active online players • Syncing console clock with NTP server (helpful for those without a rechargeable battery mod) youtu.be/GGaxBU8Fwfo

ateam v1.6.4 of my openMenu/Card Manager bundle is now here, and this super-fast SD card loading is available to all. github.com/DerekPascare... As always, Windows and Linux users need only to launch Card Manager and let the auto-updater take care of the rest (macOS is a manual update).

The Orbital Organizer update with this feature is now here. Still waiting for more testing on the Dreamcast side of the house.

After my cross-country move, I've had many, many priorities up and above this (haha), but I've finally finished setting up my retro Japanese PC desk in my home office. Boy, does it feel good... 😌

Some important fixes and small enhancements released today! Note all of these are on the Card Manager side of the house. As always, Windows/Linux users simply need to open the app and let the auto-updater do its thing (macOS requires manual update). Download here: github.com/DerekPascare...

(1/2) I know there aren't a ton of us, but users of the DocBrown and Wizard ODEs on FM Towns/FM Towns Marty can now manage their SD cards a lot more easily than they used to! Here's my initial release of FM^2 (FM Squared, the Fujitsu Micro File Manager), a complete GUI rewrite of my old CLI app.

Version 2.1.3 of Orbital Organizer has been released, my SD card management tool for the SEGA Saturn ODEs Rhea and Phoebe. Important fixes/enhancements! Windows/Linux users can auto-update in the app (macOS needs manual update). github.com/DerekPascare...

My complete GUI rewrite of my old console application has been released: xStation Menu Refiner. This utility allows you to customize the display labels for games as they appear in the xStation ODE menu (to the extent possible with the firmware). github.com/DerekPascare...

This was a fun one to record! Ran so long it had to be cut into a two-parter 😅

ateam @dreamcastforever.com · 04/08/2026

So I stupidly forgot to actually *publish* v1.6.2 on GitHub, meaning the auto-updater didn't find it, and probably neither could you! Fixed...

v1.6.2 of my openMenu/Card Manager bundle is here with some cool new features and numerous fixes 😎 Windows/Linux users, just open Card Manager to auto-update, then click "Save Changes" with your SD card inserted. macOS users update manually. github.com/DerekPascare...

(1/2) xStation has a quirk: a game's display label comes from the name of first data track (e.g., "Game Name (Track 01).bin"), minus track number. To customize a label, editing its parent folder name isn't enough. Any interest in a tool to customize xStation game display names?

A few important fixes in version 2.1.5 of Universal Dreamcast Patcher, released today. Windows/Linux users, just open the app to auto-update. macOS users, update manually. github.com/DerekPascare...

(1/3) Users of my openMenu/Card Manager fork, do you have any interest in a Recently Played function? This is one I've had requests for numerous times since initial release. While not something I'd use myself, my idea was to have an setting to access last 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50.

My SD card manager for the SEGA Saturn Rhea and Phoebe ODEs has been updated to v2.1.0 with some pretty big new features! github.com/DerekPascare... Windows/Linux users can simply open Orbital Organizer and let it auto-update, macOS users must update manually.

Hate to do it, but I had to release a small v1.6.1 update to openMenu Virtual Folder Bundle this evening fixing two important bugs! As always, Windows/Linux users must only open Card Manager and let the auto-updater do its magic, while macOS users must manually upgrade. github.com/DerekPascare...

If you're on an arm64 macOS and have tried my newest v1.6.0 openMenu/Card Manager release, I'd love for you to chime in on this thread to tell me if mouse/keyboard input is also broken for you in Card Manager. github.com/DerekPascare... Thanks in advance!

Version 1.6.0-ateam of openMenu/Card Manager is here, packing a slew of new features and enhancements! Windows/Linux users can auto-update by simply launching Card Manager and letting it do the rest. For now, macOS users must still update manually. github.com/DerekPascare...

Getting the original CD-ROM drive out of my FM Towns II Fresh E took some work, but I've successfully installed mcDomDomBurger's ODE and updated it to latest firmware 🙂 I haven't connected a speaker yet to test CDDA, but I'm sure it works just fine.

(1/2) I've wanted to add drag-and-drop support to the Linux version of my GD MENU Card Manager fork for a while now (the card manager used in my version of openMenu). Upgrading the Avalonia UI framework used by macOS/Linux is showing signs of promise.

Two other commonly requested features are coming to openMenu/Card Manager... • Set a default openMenu view style and theme • Play optional background music in openMenu

Oh, and I'm doing the same for the Linux/macOS versions of Orbital Organizer too 😎

In openMenu Virtual Folder Bundle v1.5.6, I'm hoping to include the previously exclusive to Windows "Batch Folder Move/Rename" feature in the Linux and macOS builds. Linux is confirmed, just waiting on macOS testers.

Strangely, the online Dreamcast indie game "Driving Strikers" misreads my console's flashrom. Instead of dialing 1111111 via DreamPi, it tried 11. I wrote a patch to force dial 1111111 and now it connects without issue. If anyone else has this problem, I will release patch.

To all of you who've begged (nagged?) me to add the ability to assign custom artwork for folders themselves in openMenu, your wish has been granted. github.com/DerekPascare... Stay tuned for the official v1.5.6-ateam release!
