You can. That's what I do.

I'm using an old RetroDream via an SD card with Atomiswave games on the SD card as well, so guessing I can't get this version to work via SD card then as don't have IDE HDD

Yep. Just began running the scrapper and found that the scrapper was only pulling PNG format for covers. I think my config files are still working. And every time I start it up the first time with no config file, it crashes. The second time onwards is fine.
Also, do you know why the scrapped files are coming up small in the UI? Do I have to shrink them back to a normal size?

I imagine it will work if everything is on your SD. It was just the mixture of SD and IDE that I'm having little dramas with and I'm starting to think they may just be me.

A lot of the new users don't know what RetroDream is (including me!). Could you explain what it is (and I bet a lot of people like me would find it really useful if you included the basic explanation as an edit in the first post of the thread!

It is a game loader for those who use the operating system Dreamshell SD/HDD IDE (created by DC-SWAT). The original loader is ISO loader (crested by megavolt85) and this is another option for running the games. Take a look at this video a mate shows how to use it. https://www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/vi ... 21&t=12583

RetroDream must be copied in the same place as the games folder is.

Thanks will give it a try
