Dreamshell BIOS - how to play cd games from the gdrom drive?

Post by dcboy »

I have just installed a flash bios chip which enables me to run the dreamshell os from an sd card and also play iso games from there. I would also like to play game discs from the gdrom drive but how? I can switch to the old bios which lets me play game discs normally but i would love to do it on the Dreamshell also. So how do i do that?

Hi! Now im out of home and cant find the app bettet, but what you need is GDPlay, for dreamshell. Drop the files in the correct dreamshell (DS) folder and run it.

https://github.com/DC-SWAT/DreamShell/t ... pps/gdplay

It allow to run any gd from any region, it patches some games that dont work with VGA too ;-)
