I say that because if I use an extension with an Sata 3.5 I have the same error like you.

Do you put 12v?

ok i got ur point now, as you said i use extended wires for sata & power bcoz i want to keep the hdd outside the dc, and when i use normal 3.5 sata it says no hdd at all, i think its due to low power from dc, when i give it power from external power supply it works fine

the ssd i use is 2.5 of course i dont know if there is 3.5 ssd,, anyways it stops at (mounting file system)

also on 3.5 hdd some games dont work while they should work fine... soul caliber does not even start now, so in general something not so right here, i checked wires 100 times

yes iam using 12v too

Did you test the 12 volts of the Dreamcast?

yes, crazy i know

[somacast]

update, i need help plz

now i changed bios to (dev + no gdrom)

but when i start dreamcast it comes to the black screen, finds hdd, then comes to last line below (no sd found) and freezes

tried also (retail + no gdrom) , same exactly

funny thing is when i put back the gdrom it works

what is going on really!!!

[dragoncity]

Its normal : Bios no gdrom >> No put gdrom and use an Active Crystal

>> When I realized this mod, I had never seen anyone do it in video, and in diagram ... I tested .. I pressed ON .. and it worked !! ^^

But I was afraid to break everything lol





SO >> Use "boot_loader_devkit.bios" with gdrom (or just pcb)

Hello,I Play Skies Of Arcadia !

In GDI lag a little sometimes,very rare,so i tested in DMA..but freeze at the menu.
So I test in SYNC 16,and I think now it's the best

An other thing,the fan is very noisy.
I dediced to remove completly !

Normaly you can't because if you remove the fan..the dreamcast turn off..because dreamcast check if the fan rotates !

With a friend I created an hex:

You can see explanation but it's in french sorry ^^

And with this "PIC" the dreamcast works!

I saw normally the fan it's not important,but I would like your opinion.
If you have already removed the fan is what this could do

I make this jumper ... I can use dreamcast without a cooler ... or put a 12v cooler

[dragoncity]

Hooo really!! Very good!

Edit : Fabio have you remove your fan?

I tested 2 dreamcast during 3hours ,one with fan and one without fan.

The temperature inside it's the same,after 1 hour it's 44•C.

So with or Without fan..I don't see any difference !! So for me the fan it's not necessary.

And without fan and dreamshell..my god no noise (because gdrom it's horrible)!!

I removed yes from another dreamcast I have. I used this dreamcast for a long time without a cooler ... only the last time I tried to modify it ... I forgot it turned on the power, I just caused a short on the motherboard ... I lost my dreamcast... my luck i have 2 dreamcast

[dragoncity]

Yes I have also many dreamcat for test ^^

So you say like me,without fan no problem :-)

And it's crazy because I put a temperature sensor inside both,and there is the same temperature...

And your mod just with a wire it's very cool,where do you find this information?

Normally the dreamcast need about 200hz,It is the speed of rotation.

And with your mod you just put 3,3v...!

It's compatible va0 and va1?

Hello everyone...
I have time that I did not play on my dreamcast ...
Today I went to install an HD IDE.
I tried using the gdi kof2002 optimized iso maker 2.4,
It did not work ... I tried to create iso with iso maker2.4 iso size 262,944 kb ...
It did not work ... I went to theisozone site ... downloaded iso kof2002 size 263.136, and already appeared cover ... worked 100% ... is there another iso manufacturer that already creates iso with cover and functional?

[Gillbert]

KOF2002 works for me, (as well as KOF2001), GDI OPT with default settings on RC4. Tested in a VA0, US, biosmod.
About isozone ISO, it is probably made from a CDI format.

[dragoncity]

Fabio,
Do you use a PAL/US/JAP dreamcast?

It's very important,because it's not the same config sometimes... !!!

This list is not updated for Dreamshell RC4.

I give you my list if you want to check:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...1719450497

Like Gillbert,KOF 2001&2002 WORKS on my Dreamcast PAL with GDI OPT and default setting !

If you can don't use CDI...but GDI or GDI OPT!
