1. This is normal, DMA is disabled for the core in RC5 to improve stability and you see PIO speed, but is enough for the Core to work. It's does not affect the games in any way, ISO Loader firmware uses a different driver that squeezes out the maximum speed of IDE interface. So don't worry about it. Perhaps someday DMA will return to the core, but so far this is not stable.
2. Yes it's known issue, there are problems with some WinCE games.

Thank you for your answer, @swat. I appreciate your clarification on the speed issue and the confirmation that it doesn’t affect game performance. I understand that DMA is currently disabled in RC5 to prioritize stability, and that’s perfectly fine.

Regarding the issue with Tomb Raider Chronicles, it’s good to know that it’s a known problem with some WinCE games. I’ll keep that in mind for future reference.

Moving forward, I was wondering if you had any thoughts on ways to enhance the user experience of Dreamshell’s graphical interface? Perhaps we could brainstorm some ideas with community and discuss them in a separate topic. What do you think?

Many thanks again for your hard work and dedication to the Dreamcast community!
