Good for a BIOS collector or something right? (Those people do exist rigggggght?)

It was a relearning experience for me on dumping anything from a Dreamcast. Last time I tried that would have been 10 years ago.
The ease of ripping / dumping from the Dreamcast was miles better than I remember. Just load and click...!
Hardest / longest part was setting a static IP address for the darned thing. The future is now!
Thanks for your help on this one guys!

Wait a minute... Did I just get thread jacked? Haha!
What was the end result on the Dreamcast VA0 PSU in a VA1 and visa versa?

Worked Ok for me for a long time. I intend to eventually measure the current draw on a VA0 and a VA1 so we can compare.

 

All psu are swappable i have done it for years no problem's,
but make sure if your swaping satun psu make sure its has the same number of pins like dont put a long saturn is in one that only works with a small psu there's lots of different revisions of the Saturn psu.

 

Hahaha, sounds good to me - lucky I don't need to call on another PSU just yet anyway.

This would be interesting to see if there is any difference at all.

I think my Saturns were probably all the same type / era except for the two VA0 units I had. So they are all good now. Which is ace. :encouragement:

 

links is down, could anyone mirror it please ?

 

Mirrored! Sorry about the delay!

 

thanks
