Dreamcast Iso Forum
I have a TON (62 total) of disc based Dreamcast games. I recently got into the emulator scene as I have been traveling a lot and all i have is my laptop with me. Is there any way to rip the Dreamcast GD-rom to my laptops hdd? What is needed? I know the PS1 is just.iso files. I can't get my laptop to rip actual files from the GD-rom.
I'm using nullDC- what is a good file extension for this emulator? If this breaks any rules, i'm sorry. I clearly own the games as I'm trying to rip them from the actual disc.
Yeah its a shame the speed of the serial port is so slow. Ive tried about a dozen SDISO's of retail games on Dreamshell. Granted they all worked well enough but either had longer than normal load times, glitches, or all the music was removed. The 2 games that I found to be most worth playing via SD are RECV and Headhunter.
The runner up (as far as games ive tried) would be which Q3A which works very well and loads almost as fast as the GD does, but lacks music. What SDISOs of retail games have you guys tried that work well? Aleron I'm sure you've got some good opinions? OGDCFAN99 wrote:Aleron I'm sure you've got some good opinions? I think you should buy your games instead of pirating them, and then you won't need to worry about serial port performance. I do have one of the adapters, but I determined that neither it nor DreamShell was very useful, as I wanted to be able to play my games with streaming audio and without a cumbersome menu. I got a GDEMU instead, which allows me to play all of my backups without stuttering or bugs.

I had to buy a second Dreamcast to use for dumping any new games I get, but thankfully Dreamcasts don't cost all that much.
