    Thank you for making this tutorial. I was following along with a rev. 0 Dreamcast and could not get DreamShell to boot past the splash screen, and DCSDRip also wouldn't be able to back up a disc, it would just start playing it. I ended up getting a rev. 1 console as well to see if it would make a difference, and to my delight, DreamShell worked on that one. Just wanted to leave that note in case anyone else was trying this with a rev. 0 console.

      Fascinating, I don't see why Rev 0 would be so problematic but there we go. Good to know!

    Something funny, I still have a dreamcast browser 2.0 disc in its og plastic wrap lmao. It's in a box in a closet but it was from my aunt as well as her dreamcast and a few games, controllers and memory cards and such... found your channel while looking at xbox original stuff, seems you do many interesting things so imma stick around for a bit ;)

    I tried your tutorial and so far, I've only managed to dump the flash memory and BIOS. I haven't been able to dump any game discs on DreamShell, as it goes to 'Unchecked Exception' whenever I try to read the name from the disc. And I can't even check it to dump it in SD.

      @@ArchadesGames Hey, thanks again, I have dumped my BIOS as well as some of my North American Dreamcast games. I was just wondering if you knew whether DCSDrip can dump EU games such as Shenmue II on a North American Dreamcast or if it is subject to region-locking the same way that playing Dreamcast games is. I know that region locking can be bypassed with a boot disc, but I am just not sure if this tool would be capable of bypassing it. Sorry about all of the questions here, thanks again for your help!

      @@ArchadesGames This is an awesome video. I look forward to dumping my own games. The main thing I hate about the disc based systems is that it is a fair bit harder to dump than the carts were. I can dump pretty much any of the popular cart based systems from the Atari 2600 to the N64, but the discs are a bit more of a challenge. Which is made worse by how unreliable the discs are as they age.
