New Chinese Dreamcast SD Adapter

[Loosley translated from the Chinese site]

"DIY's dedicated DC SD card reader directly uses the serial port without modifying the motherboard. Comes with boot disks, and your choice of 1 of 5 different styles. With this you can play the games of FC DC MD SFC GBA GBC PCE NEOGEOCD MAME and many other emulators and homebrew games."

Pretty much you would use this for putting emulators and homebrew games on it, and many other Dreamcast applications such as Xvid movies and music.

These can run retail games, but if they use CDDA, they lag a lot.

I advise using a translator to read these Chinese links.

New link to use paypal through a site that deals directly with the Taobao site.

Here is what I did, and it was so easy, easier than using Ebay infact!

I Made sure I signed up with BuyfromTaobao.com, and had a paypal account first. Then I went to the link under this post.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=7818275499

Then went to this site http://buyfromtaobao.com/ShoppingCart.aspx

Put the item URL in the field and added to cart, then next after that I got the total in USD. This site just charges you like .50 cents for using them as a "Middleman", but for me, half a buck is worth it to get a "Solid State" Hard Drive for my Sega Dreamcast.

It cost $11.14 total for mine! Now I just have to wait

For the Dreamshell operating system to run games from the SD cards, and to see a compatibility list, go to this link below.

They are a newer design than these old ones, and look like little USB flash drives in the serial port that light up when accessing information!

I only wish that this was able to operate without the boot discs. That way a modder would be able to eliminate that large and loud disc drive altogether, and potentially move the DC closer to a more compact handheld portable.

why buy this? dreamcast is a shit, i played all games for dreamcast

[BFKAnthony817]

@Snapx4000 Dreamcast isn't shit buddy. Its the best system on earth lmfao. I doubt you have played all 700+ retail games for the system.

You say Dreamcast is shit, but you fucking have Shenmue 2 videos on your profile. Fail attempt at trolling on your part.

Do all games work, and are loading times decreased?

Also, since it only supports .iso format, which doesn't support multi-track, that means that most games that use proper audio tracks, won't have any music. Hopefully there'll be .cdi support in the future, or better yet, .gdi support.

[BFKAnthony817]

@LuvPlayN All retail games do not work, only some. CDDA is not supported, and loading times are increased in many games.

I used mine for Homebrew and Emulators mostly, as I really couldn't justify burning a 25mb homebrew game to a 700mb disc.

Also, you can use the Dreamcast as a media center now with this and watch movies too with Dreamcast Mediacenter or DCPlaya 2.0 with SD card support.

[BFKAnthony817]

@SwankeyMonkey Um, you actually can do that bro. They have a Dreamshell bios that you can install if you have a bios chip lol. They even sell Dreamcast's premodded like that without the drives from the same website.
