    i have seen a article on the isozoneforums that has led me to believe we can emulate the gd rom with a simple mod just involving ide cables a sata adapter a hard drive and some soldering. Now just tell me what do you think of this and if it really is a possibility to revive dereamcasts with broken gd roms (my main goal is to revive my own sega dreamcast which sadly died in the middle of legacy of kain soul reaver on new years eve of 2013)

    Why second topic 1 isnt enough btw this is not my job

    i thoght you got your answer here

    let me make it more clear for you

    1. You need to mod your bios so you can unlock it and boot the device (so solder a new bios + other tricks)
    2. You need to solder or make a header or something for your Dramcast so you can take advantage of the gdrom port
    3. For all of this to work you need to use dreamshell so game compatibility isnt perfect at this time
    4. A IDE-to-Sata connector is needed to attach sata drives
    5. This knowledge isnt from "isozoneforums" but from DC-SWAT forum

    all "soldier" read as "solder"
    Not work games with mmu, this is all "WINCE" games and small amount of "KATANA" games.
    In next version of DreamShell games boot faster than at GDEMU
