Ever hear of dreamshell? It's a boot cd that works with an sd card adapter. It plugs in the back of the dreamcast and you can play roms off it that way. You just download the appropriate emulator and games along with it.

 

I have it and it has it's uses. Depends on what you want to do on the system. The dreamcast is a sweet system in the fact that you can pretty much burn anything to play as is. I have entire nes, Atari, and genesis library's burned to seperate cd's.

 

However if you just want to download roms instead of burning cd's over and over dreamshell is awesome. Just add and delete the files on your pc. Every time you boot dreamshell it rechecks the cards files again. I was able to play a hacked snes version of super Mario world this way.

Go to gdemu.wordpress.com and try to get in on his third production run. The SD adapter doesn't work too bad, but there is a huge issue with getting ISO's to work with Dreamshell. They're required to be formatted/packed to ISO in a certain way, and nobody does it anymore. It's near impossible to do yourself, the tools suck and the documentation isn't out there. SWAT has been updating Dreamshell, but I don't know if it's been advanced enough to where it can run an ISO as is.
