Hi, guys, important things first: thank you for the truly great work you do with Dreamshell, it has bring a new life to my DC, and to many others im sure, so, a hearthfelt thank you from Uruguay Smile
And now my little issues, ive completed the ide mod after a copule of days work, and now, when i turn my DC using dreamshell boot loader, i get the text you can see in the uploaded image, the hdd is formatted as Fat 32, set to primary partition, as slave, with the dc folder in its root, so i dont know what could be wrong, im not using an sd adapter btw, only the gdrom and hdd

Hi. I see your HDD support only LBA28? I can mistake, hard to see...
It's should boot DS of course, but It can be a problem in games.
Try another HDD (or CF card), maybe it solve your problem and with booting a DS.
Don't pay attention to the messages about SD card.

So, i got it working with another hdd, how should i setup the isos in it?, inside the ds folder?

It dosent matter where you put the games, you can put on the hdd root..

ISO is not the adviced format to use.. Use optimized GDI instead
