    Just got a GDEMU and tried my Patriot LX Series 8GB class 10 SD Card. The Dreamcast freezes when booting with the card in, but works if you insert after boot. Tried another few cards and they worked fine on boot so definitely compatibility problem with card.

    Yes. Put both the Codebreaker CDI and the GDI of the game you want to use on your SD card. Boot the codebreaker, enter the codes, then use the yellow button on GDEmu to switch discs to the game disc. Or you can use 2 SD cards, one with codebreaker and another with a game, and switch cards like you would switch game discs.

    There will be an easier way at some point, but nothing has been released yet.

    Do you know of any other potential changes? An example, being able to jump scroll through the list of games in alphabetical order.

    I'm hoping a future version of GDMENU will be able to incorporate an option of patching games to run in widescreen mode and VGA from the menu list, this would negate the need to use CodeBreaker.

    I don't know anything. I'm only referencing comments made here previously, such as this post:

    Thanks you buddy.

    I test it, I think it's a good method:
    - I install widescreen code in VMU with codebreakers cdi image
    - for all games widescreen avallable for exemaple in 22th folder, I paste 21th folder codebreakers cdi image (very light cdi 2511ko)
    - I select the 21th image with gdmenu, codebreaker runs
    - I select a widescreen for example Daytona USA 2001 (the game in the 22th folder), and start game
    - When checking disk ask by DC I click on the GDEMU button for launch game and it run
    - I use the stretch zoom from my HDTV.

    Daytona USA (soory for the quality but I have a poor chinesse VGA cable, I will next time my HQ cable, very very nicer image):

    Almost the ratio it's seems respected when we compare with XBOX 360 HD widescreen version:

    With my smartphone.

    Before strecht:

    After:

    For compare without widescreen code (it's is nicer because use my HQ cable in this old picture):

    Another thinks I use this SD card 128 GB, format in FAT 32 64 k clusters:
