With pin 1 and pin 1 with capacitor, I have a freeze after the dreamshell music before the desktop screen appear.

Without pin 1, the system ask me where it should load dreamshell from cd or sd card, the ssd is not found...

Maybe it's due to my ide cable too long, or the brand of my ssd, I have a samsung instead of a crucial.

You need to solder the capacitor by making a jumper on pin 1 and pin 2.

It may be the cable but that adapter works with pin one on and the capacitor is 1 to 2. Try using an IDE ATA 133 cable. Try directly with an IDE HDD and discard the cable. and put the capacitor as close to the adapter as possible

With this adapter, the capacitor 1 is used to 2 but without the cable 1 connected to the console. In my case, with the Startech brand, it works perfectly.

Marvell 88sa8052

megavolt 85 you will have there the datasheet of this Marvell 88sa8052. to make the adapter for dreamcast and share

no, I don't have it, moreover, I tried many SATA adapters and none of them worked well for me, that's why I use only IDE HDD and I advise everyone to use only native IDE

Finally worked with this pack:

3.SATA Плата-адаптер с подключением в системную плату Dreamcast. Подключается заместо GDrom и не требует установки кристалла для синхронизации звука. Работает по дефолту и без необходимости стороннего вмешательства. Подходит для ревизий VA0 или VA1 (Тестировались 3 платы купленные у трех разных продавцов).

IV. Использовалась следующая сборка:
Retrodream v3.0.0 + DreamShell 4.0.0 Release https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lAVVFJR...drive_link
