    Hi there, if this is against the rules then please remove this topic.
    On theisozone there's been a big pack of Dreamcast games prepared for use on a IDE device with Dreamshell.
    See: http://webcache.googleusercontent.c.../dreamcast/sd-isos/dreamshell-ide-games-pack/

    This would come in handy as from what I can read, includes some batch file to make sure the icon's will appear on the Dreamshell desktop.

    Now the problem is that theisozone went offline...

    So I've been looking around and there seems to be a thread here which collections in both trurip and tosec formats:
    https://assemblergames.com/threads/req-dreamcast-archive.53514/

    And there's also "The Eye" with a pretty complete collection:
    https://the-eye.eu/public/rom/

    Now I just want a collection of all possible games for use with IDE, so my first questions would be for someone to re-upload this if he still has it...
    If it's really gone...then what would be the steps to patch gdi games for use with dreamshell and more importantly how can I have them all show up on my desktop?

    I believe when using IDE there's some settings which can differ per game, like load address, DMA, cd-audio etc...

    So a complete pack which has all these settings pre-configured would be awesome.
    Then I just have to spend another sunday.. to go through all widescreen patches and patch them all for 16:9.

    So all compatible-with-ide games, preconfigured, patched for 16:9, with there own icon on the dreamshell desktop ^_^

    Wow thats awesome!
    I'm already using the pre-compiled release from the 'build' directory in the github repository.
    I'm going to give it a try!
    Thanks!

    For a moment I thought this post was about dreamcast software development, as IDE also stands for Integrated Development Enviroment and it confused me as a software developer, never thought that it was about Dreamshell and running games from the hard disk drive or compact flash.
