Hi everyone,
I upgraded my Dreamcast's system SDRAM to 32MB last week. I've written an explanation of how the mod works and instructions for doing it: https://tsowell.github.io/2020/06/21/dr ... grade.html
Unfortunately because of the equipment and soldering experience required it might not be within everyone's reach, but I hope someone can benefit from this.
I've been using the extra RAM with my alternate ScummVM backend (Dreamcast-talk discussion here), and so far I've been able to use it to run a few ScummVM games that run out of memory and crash on a 16MB Dreamcast.
Given that software needs to be modified to take advantage of the extra RAM, are there any other potential uses for this? Maybe other homebrew or emulators that are being held back by the 16MB limit?
