was using discs till last year, then my drive started to fail. As much as I love discs, the GDEmu is a blessing, not only because is more convenient, but mainly for giving a new life for Dreamcast with dead GD-ROM drives as they are specially hard to replace. I'm hoping that some cheap ODE become as available as the clone GDEmu for the Saturn, my unit is still good but worries me that it may start to fail soon

how did you gdemu kill two dreamcasts?

Using GDIs, one of the few consoles I still collect physical games for. However I am currently setting up a GDEMU as we speak.

Interesting, seems the userbase is almost splitted 50/50, gdrom vs gdemu.
I think there are a bit more Dreamshell/Retrodream users around...
Please vote guys, any set you have, it could be very helpful

I'm positive there are more dreamshell/retrodream users. There are thousands of dc users. This site has like 8000+ members. How many login every month? We seem to be in a slow period right now.

I moded my dreamcast by myself.Although It cost more than 1 days to cut plastic case and lower metal plate and solder nearly 30pin of wire to solder joint of mainboard. I tested my G1-ATA moded dreamcast and it successfully run all of game I want to play excepting for First kiss story2.(below youtube video clip shows gameplay of my hdd mod dreamcast)
I'm still looking for the way to run First kiss story2 on dreamshell or retrodream..
