Katana 4.0 — GDEMU SD card manager for macOS.

Build 7 (universal, Developer ID signed and notarized).

Highlights

  • openMenu 1.7.0-ateam — bundled menu is the current Virtual Folder Bundle (Dreamcast Now, mouse, scrollbar, multi-controller navigation)
  • Menu type follows the card — opening a card detects GDmenu, stock openMenu, or openMenu Extended from slot 01. A stock openMenu card stays on openMenu
  • Menu inspector — slot 01 shows the installed menu, with Rebuild and Reveal in Finder. Rename, cover, and delete stay on games
  • Custom cover — Change Cover Image… saves a picture as a loose 0GDTEX.PVR. A PVR file is copied unchanged when Katana can read it. Remove Custom Cover deletes that file
  • Cover — a game with no 0GDTEX.PVR shows the openMenu box art from the card, matched by serial
  • Stale disc details — replacing a game or the menu drops the previous serial, version, and date once the files have changed
  • Menu rebuild — slot 01 files, including preserved cover data, are written where the menu looks for them
  • Katana on GitHub — Help menu opens the project page
