FIX Dreamshell

[dragoncity]

Here are the little things that could be improved for Dreamshell, some I think are possible to be fixed quickly

1 - Add in Preset the "loader device"

In the preset,we can save all config..except "loader device",can you fix that?
And not with shorcut please...



2 - Fix GdPlay
A lot of backup don't boot,maybe a problem with "selfboot"..or I don't know...but the best now it's to use only the dreamshell BIOS,and when a game doesn't work use backup with GdPlay !
This app is just perfect..but this problem with backup who doesn't work it's boring..


I hope SWAT and Megavolt can fix that,there is other thing but I know already the answer...next release..

Thanks in adance !!!

Hello! I’m new here, and new to Dreamcast modification as well. Perhaps I will have a different but good perspective.



First of all, thank you for making Dreamshell. I sent my Dreamcast to some one who is experienced in modifying them. I received a dual bios and compact flash mod. It’s awesome. Thank you again.





Overscan. Dreamcast was made to work with television sets. CRT televisions have overscan, unlike crt monitors with underscan or fixed pixel displays. It would be awesome if Dreamshell utilized the title safe area. Honestly, the bottom bar on operating system could be eliminated if pages could be navigated by controls such as the left and right triggers. Space icons appropriately. Could add dots indicating pages like iOS.

Navigating iso loader list view is difficult with weird scrolling. Capturing the d-pad with some sort of smooth scrolling would be better.

Perhaps icons representing serial port, gdrom, and ide would be better than the labels. I am using compact flash via ide, not a hard disk drive. Not sure what the PC option is. Is it even necessary to select a drive? Should it just select the drive Dreamshell booted from automatically?

Please take this as constructive criticism. I only post because I think Dreamshell is awesome. I would like to contribute in any way I can, but must familiarize myself first. Thank you.

So Could you fix the dragoncity problem ?

I don't know if the suggest of keilmillerjr are easy to do.

I have a dream (shell ^^) :
May you have a look in isoloader sd and ide mod, it's possible to copy the cdda PIO from sd to ide mod, because if I understand well the cdda in ide is only in dma and there are a lot of crash because of that.
And the serial port of dreamcast have not enough speed and the cdda lag it's inodible
Import the cdda mod from sd to ide in isoloader is possible ?

Please like keilmillerjr considered my request like a positive thing. I'm clearly a dreamshell lover.

I do not understand your response. I’m not sure if it’s a language barrier or perhaps my lack of knowledge on how the Dreamcast works. Could you rephrase?

Ps my Dreamcast is IDE -> CF and GDROM still operational.
