So if I get it right, this version finally made the SD card adapter worth buying?
It can play direct iso from SD? Most of the games works? Something like an Everdrive for the Dreamcast?
Sorry if I got it wrong but my russian is a light rusty LOL
This is excellent.
I am so happy that the Dreamcast still gets so much homebrew support!

When the doctor asked me, if I heard voices in my head, the voices said "tell him no!"
GDIs already ran off the SD card.Originally Posted by veggav

My feedback thread, since it seems somewhat difficult for people to find.
Nice, somebody needs to make a video explaining and showing the new features :)
Looks very promising, the golden question now is can you play plain old iso images on there without having to SDISO them now?
That would be enough for me, though I'm updating now as we speak anyway...
Xeauron, if you can post your impressions about this new version.
SWAT make some videos

Got sidetracked, will do shortly...
Hell yes. Downloading this ASAP.
Damn it, havent got time to test it at the mo veggav mate, I'm sure someone else will post a brief run down soon, well before I get chance to...
From the looks of the vids I saw earlie it runs smoother and supports more games/image types and can run them from multiple sources including a HDD and from over a network. I only had a brief look at the vids though so I could be completely off the mark with those last 2 features I mentioned!

Has anyone noticed the support for the DC "Navi" design IDE to G2 Bus adaptor?
A.K.A the Bitmaster IDE prototype circuit?
Even with the slow PIO mode, a 16-bit interface beats a 1-bit one every day of the week.
I also wondered about those things. The ISO Loader has support for HDD and LAN.
Is the LAN Mode over the BBA? Or over the Serial to LAN Board they have on their site?
Would be cool if someone could post some info, I'm pretty lost in the DC world :D
Thanks,
iCEQB
EDIT: How fast is the GD-Rom actually? Ain't that 12x?
iirc that's some between 1.7 and 1.8 MB/s correct?

No problem. I own the SD card adapter myself but I'm busy with other things now so I can't check :nod:
is there any description in english? how to install dreamshell, how to use the sd card adapter etc.? i´m not familiar to this and the dreamshell site in russian doesn´t give me a hint either...

It's kind of plug and play as far as I remember the last time I used.
Download the disc, burn it and it will load in the linux screen.
That has nothing to do with Linux.
Its KallistiOS.
Not tested the network options, send me a BBA/LAN adapter!;-)
-Realtek rtl8193c
-Fujitsu MB86967
(either of the common Sega produced LAN/BBA adapters)
Possibly that SCIF port Homebrew Ethernet dongle...
Ok cool ... and the HDD option? Is it true that they are talking about that bitmaster thingy ?
And how fast is that expansion port? Is it DMA ? Or would the CPU have to take care about the IDE stuff?
So many questions and no real info base for something that might be VERY interesting :/
Executing GDI Images at (at least) the same speed as the GD-Rom drive would be the holy grail for the DC scene.
But those Swat guys only write russion stuff and the IDE info is scattered all over the internet at 10 places each one telling something else :(
Decided to try this new build myself.
Boot is slight faster and I tried getting a .cdi image of a small game I have here "Sega Swirl".
Downloaded the isomake package than I started to read the small info files.
Isoloader on the dreamcast will not load .cdi images.
So I went any2iso.bat and created my iso file.
This new iso will not work.
Than I went for the tutorial. Extracted all the files from inside the .cdi, put them on data folder.
So I run hacklba and create_iso. New iso is made and it doesn't work.
I think dreamshell has a bright future but it need to improve on the compatibility modes.
wow that is really a shocker after all this time one of the main requests that they had was to create cdi support. Sad :(
