Yes. And connect HDD to external power source.

Any IDE HDD or CF Card.

you have to set your HDD to slave mode.

RE: need help with dreamcast HDD IDE - alimadhi - 08.05.2014 11:42

Ok, so what about 3.3V and 12V ? link to external power ? or leave them ?
and what about CD CLK, EMPH, BCK, LRCK & SDAT ?

RE: need help with dreamcast HDD IDE - SWAT - 08.05.2014 11:50

CD CLK need to be connected to 33.868 Mhz clock. If you have working GD-ROM on G1 port (or just working GD-ROM motherboard), just disregard it.
Other pins is unused, just leave them.

Well the HDD be able to handle CDDA on games due to its faster transfer speed?

CDDA it's a different problem, it is not issue of the transfer speed.
For play CDDA tracks, need very low speed - 150 KB/s, with this can handle and SD card.
CDDA this is hardware issue. If I'll find the software solution for this problem, I'll do it for all devices. But this is happen not in RC2 exactly.

Did you try to boot FULL RC2 direct from CD (without files on SD adapter)?
If you use boot loader and SD card remember to put whole "DS" folder on SD root not only files and use the latest boot loader.

RE: need help with dreamcast HDD IDE - alimadhi - 16.05.2014 14:21

i put files from (DreamShell_4.0.0_RC2_and_Boot_Loader) to SD root
SD root\ DS folder
