Different discs can sometimes make a big difference. I always recommend the memorex discs with the little breaking glass on them. My car came with a cd player and the only discs that would work are the memorex ones. I have also told that to other people who had troubles and it worked for all of them.

Believe me, I have searched many forums for all the info i can get on the gd-rom. The best thing as far as technical info i have found yet is the partial pinout of the gd-rom connector that bitmaster did. There is also a simplified OTI-9220 overview on some other site. The OTI-9220 is a cd-rom contr...

rather the documentation on the I/Os that were with the prototype unit did Is it in PDF format?? would you be able to get a hold of it? :) That is interesting news about hooking a cd-rom up to it. That may mean that it is pretty close to standard ATAPI with maybe a few custom commands that are caus...

i guess i took your post too harshly, Rand. I said it would be easy to add usb 2.0 to the board that connects to the HD. So if I can ever hook the HD to the dreamcast having usb 2.0 connected to the HD would be very doable. I have no doubt in my mind that actually getting the DC to HD going will be ...

The truth of the matter is, Rand, that everyone on this board probably has something better to do with their time then play around with a dreamcast. Playing your dreamcast or modding it isnt likely to make you money, it isnt going to make you a better person and it will probably not get you ahead in...

Right now i am attempting to figure out a way to hook up logic analyzer probes to the gd-rom connector so i can see what is going on over the connector while a game is loading. If anyone has any ideas for this I am open to them or if anyone knows where to get a connector that is compatible with the ...

Its definitely not possible to simply swap one out for the other. You could theoretically hook a microcontroller of some sort up to the gd-rom port and have it translate the data requests and then send them on to a normal cd-rom. I am guessing the DC uses ATAPI commands to talk to the gd-rom based o...

wow, that is pretty cool. Where did you get it? What is it called? How much did it cost? . Generating a ring tone would be nice so i could get my pc to answer without forcing the ata command. Good info.

well, if you want to know if your dreamcast is physically able to connect to your modem you can open up hyperterminal and create a connection that is on the same com port as your modem. At that point you can type commands to the modem. My modem makes an audible click noise when it picks up the line ...

I am going to assume you are trying to dial by simply connecting a phone cord from your DC to your PC. Assuming that, you have to force the modem on your PC to answer the call because there is no actual ring to signal the modem to answer. go here to get more details. http://www.consolevision.com/mem...
