I have a broken Dreamcast dev kit. I was wondering if I’m allowed to post the hard drive files on here?

I have to dump the hard drive again when I get home but the file names are,
BlowUp
roach
Bugsquad
Quake2
Simpsons
ttb410
RoachWorld
ttb5
Source code

From the looks of the file names, it seems like it was just owned by someone playing around with it rather than an original DC developer but there's no harm in posting them. :)

Okay sweet I will copy the hard drive after work! I’ve had this for over a year so it’s been awhile since I looked at the files. From what I remember file ttb410 or ttb5 looked like a professional game. One of the text files had descriptions of levels and character lines, it sounded like it was about a cop/detective/Mystery type of game? The file Dates were before the Dreamcast was discontinued. I couldn’t find the file to launch the games and they are in developer format.

Except quake 2, that looked like the files for PC.

Unfortunately the source code folder was empty.
What would be a good usb to scsi hard drive adapter?
I need to run a hard drive recovery program but on a newer computer. I made an hard drive image over my network and found some deleted files. This video was on my hard drive

Wow! It appears that the Take the Bullet beta is in here! Nice find! Two different versions it seems as well. I'm guessing 0.4.1 and 0.5?

I can't find any references to a Simpsons game being developed for Dreamcast so this is pretty amazing! Also, it appears the BlowUp, roach, Bugsquad, and RoachWorld folders are all related to the Simpsons game.
