Dreamshell 4.0 + SD Reader - Help?

Post by Delicious Apes »

My SD reader came with a disc labelled "Dreamshell 4". Now, I've loaded a few SD compatible .iso files on my card, and tried to use the reader by first loading the disc as normal like a game, and secondly after the DC's interface appeared by putting it in after.

No dice either way, although I don't know what you're meant to do when using the reader.

Any assistance I'd love, and sorry if it's a redundant thread and it's explained somewhere else. Helpful links wouldn't be bad either. Thanks.

How to start an SDISO:

- first connect the SD-adapter (incl. sd card) to Dreamcast
- boot up DreamShell 4
- open the FileManager and click on "sd"
- now you can see the content of the card
- just click on one of the listed SDISO files and confirm

the boot loader will start and execute the game/software.

Well, if you got dreamshell disc for the person you purchased the sd adapter from? I recalled pcwzrd mentioning his dreamshell disc that he got didn't work so he burned his own so u might have to go that route. On the flipside, my disc that came with the sd adapter does in fact work although strangly enough, my model "0" DC console work with that dreamshell disc...
