Even without pin 1, I still need the SD card to load the IDE.

No,I tested I can boot Dreamshell without Pin 1 no problem in CF

I Will test in SSD,but I use an SD for Preset

Ho Ok Strange I tested in CF no problem without Pin 1 for boot !

But with SSD need an SD... crazy ^^ !

[dragoncity]

So WITHOUT PIN 1 with SSD (or SATA)

- If you don't use GDROM (with nogdrom bios),you need to boot with SD !

- If you use GDROM you can boot with dreamshell on the SSD (or SATA).

Well, that's the problem, we still need the serial SD Card if want to use noGDROM.

[dragoncity]

Yes... for me not really a problem because preset doesn't work with IDE... so for me SD it's obligatory for the moment..

But It's sure I prefer that work with NoGdrom.

[Gillbert]

In my case it does not change much because I was already able to get my SATA adapters working here without GDROM board, I just need to make a clean and organized wiring. *But, with a serial SD Card reader*. If I use a GDROM board, no problem.

So, the main problem still remains. The proper solutions should be:

- A custom PCB design for JM20330 controller;
- A bootloader bios which is able to boot on Master mode.

this makes most adapters work i think, i had these https://www.amazon.com/HDE-Computer-Driv...B008X8NK0I with the IDE2SATA chips that didn't detect at all work and my JM20330 ones booted all the way into Dreamshell with pin 1 removed.
only issue i am having is shenmue II doesn't boot from Sata where as it does from CF, don't know about SSD since i don't have a spare one to test it out.
I have a GDROM that works though and boot with DS boot cd.

Normally, the next of dreamshell / DS folder will be able to have two hdd and I hope one in master mode, for me some games will works better because we can install a better convert ide-sata.

[Rellikami]

I tried a new SATA drive today, was a 500gb HGST Travelstar laptop drive sold to go in a ps3 with the caddy attached.
i got it on discount at walmart for $25, works loading all my games even shenmue II so guess dreamshell doesn't like certain sata drives as well as sata2ide adapters.
Guess i will make this one my daily driver for testing things.

Well done :-)

Thankyou Megavolt for the 10K resistor advice on Pin 1. I have all my SATA adapters I purchased working great now

how to connect resistor 10k on pin1, can you give a picture

hi friends, does anyone know where the VCC is?
Thanks for helping

If you are having trouble with your converter working, you can:
connect Pin 1(reset) via 10k resistor to VCC

[megavolt85]

VCC is power +3.3 Volts

thanks for answering MegaVolt, so this is the correct connection?

Note, my motherboard is a VA0

Thank you MegaVolt, thank you for your help, I will test it on my Dreamcast VA0

MegaVolt one more question friend, in my Dreamcast VA0, I will leave the GDROM connected to run games via CR-ROM, and I will leave connected the IDE / Sata mod with a 256GB SSD, leaving the connection from pin 1 to the 10k resistor to the VCC as shown in the photo, I could have a problem, I say my GDROM card can burn or have problems?

Thanks for answering

[megavolt85]

it is not dangerous for GDROM
