ANTHONY THX FOR TELLING ME ABOUT THIS PLACE, MANY SEGA FORUMS ARE DEAD.BUT HERE THERES THE LATEST INFO AND SEEMS PEOPLE POST ONCE A DAY. I HOPE SOMEBODY CAN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS6
1. Wince CE for Dreamcast doesn't read any SD card itself, but DreamShell SDL programmed by SWAT enables it.
2. DreamShell is kind of a boot loader, the dreamcast running this "shell" can read SD card, the serial port and the adaptor. You need to prepare DC games in the form of specific iso image, transfer it to the SD card containing the "DS" directory (also proviede by SWAT), connect your SD card and the adaptor to Dreamcast serial port, put the "DreamShell SDL" disk into Dreamcast, and trun on the power. If everything goes right, you will be able to see a file manager and by which you may select your iso image and run it. By this way, Dreamcast could run games from SD card rather than GD driver.
3. Most games slow down or lags in DreamShell. Maybe it can be solved in the future.
4. I don't understand. Do you mean how to buy an SD adaptor for Dreamcast? I didn't buy, I just DIY it for myself.
5. Maybe you got the wrong picture. The adaptor posted in the top of this thread is created for standard SD/SDHC cards.
6. See answer 2.
