    Hey there,
    I just registered on the forum after hearing you guys talk about being able to dump Dreamcast GD-ROMs via a SD Card Reader built for the Dreamcast.

    I do not illegally download. Not anymore. I own a Retrode, along with all its adapters, and I've successfully dumped the PS2 BIOS from two of my three PS2s.

    I own a Dreamcast as well as SoulCalibur, and I wanna dump my own GDI of the game, as well as the Dreamcast BIOS, so I can legally play the game on my computer. For the longest time, I thought the BBA and the Coder's Cable were the only two ways you could dump Dreamcast games, but now that I've heard of the SD Card Reader, I seriously wanna give Dreamcast dumping a shot. Can you guys teach me how to dump the DC BIOS and GD-ROMs using SD Cards?

    Also, I wanna know how to dump the PS1 BIOS as well, so I have smooth sailing with PS1 emulation...

    You can also dump dreamcast games using certain dvd drives, but can get a bit tricky. Redump has got info on this
