Dreamshell - custom Bios chip q’s
Posted: Tue Nov 12, 2024 7:33 am
Hi all,
Very new to the DC modding scene…
I’ve just done these mods to my PAL (AU) VA1 Dreamcast:
- custom transparent Smokey shell
- dreamPSU
- Noctua fan mod
- battery mod
- LED mod
- Region Free BIOS
I got the bios off AliExpress it stated it was Region Free and Dreamshell. I mostly just want region free to play Japanese games (discs).
So it booted up, PAL blue logo animation, it quickly flashed to a black screen loading Dreamshell boot v2.4. It then shows a Dreamshell boot screen with Boot to RAM and Boot to CD greyed out.
What’s my next steps here?
I’ve got a Dreamshell SD serial dongle coming and disc… what’s the best possible bios to run these days?
At the moment I can’t even pop a regular disc in and play it always boots to this boot screen.
Would love to know what to do next. Thanks all!
