USB GDROM
The novice realizes that the difference between code and data is trivial. The expert realizes that all code is data. And the true master realizes that all data is code.

Re: USB GDROM
Nope, but that looks amazing.
I'm very much of the opinion that all of these "GDRom" replacement projects are in the best interest of the future of the Dreamcast, because there is a preset amount of hardware out there in the world in circulation, and the most shitty, error-prone portion of the Dreamcast is the GD-Rom drive, and obviously GD roms don't even exist anymore, so we would basically be fucked without a replacement...

Re: USB GDROM
Yeah, that's actually how I found it. The GD-ROM on my Dreamcast failed, and I was looking for a way to fix it. I'll probably get one of these at some point, but in the meantime I just got another Dreamcast for $50.
