Load Dreamcast Isos from BBA

Hello recently I picked up a BBA from an auction online for cheap and am wondering if I could load GDIs from the BBA somehow using my PC.

so first off for that price make sure that it bares the HIT-400 or HIT-401 anywhere since there is a HIT-300 which does one tenth of the rated speeds and is pretty much exclusive to a specific web browser. from what I know about it there were Dreamcast units given out to hospital patients and the way that they communicated with their doctors were through that method. I can't seem to find the information to back it up but google is your friend. However the ability of streaming games to the system may have gotten you confused with the Gamecube in which you actually used Phantasy Star Online (not plus) to do it with.

So basically you can dump games, program with it, transfer rom data from and to, play games like PSO, Quake 3, and Toy Racer (Doom via NXDoom source port is another), but never stream games to it. Hopefully this makes a lot of sense to you.

Nobody ever bothered to write a homebrew program to stream games via the BBA, because the DC's BIOS has an exploit to let you just burn games to CD-R and boot them that way.

Actually they have. However it doesn't work all that well from what I understand. Never tried it myself though.

Its the HIT 400 so it isn't the shitty one
