That is really cool. I haven't really built my DC library up yet, so something like this would be excellent for me.

This looks really neat! I did some searching and page translations since the developer is Russian. Here is the site to download something thing related to it?

I search all over the net for DC SD cards. It was announce early last year, but I don't know where I can buy this. They say it was going to cost around $10-20.

I can't wait until I can get one of these adapters; they look really cool.

hi scene , i found some info over at DCemu forums and this is what i discovered......

I doubt there's going to be any news on this for a while, if ever. In all honesty, it is probably practically impossible to get the connectors for the Dreamcast end of the cable in any sort of bulk quantity (they were a Sega-custom part after all), and its impossible to sell these things without that cable end (for obvious reasons).


the quote is from a 16 page Thread over at DCemu , i read all 16 pages and it seems the project has halted.

Such a shame. This could have been the best thing for the DC. If it could play tosec games it would be amazing.

I don't think the lack of connectors should kill the project. I'd be more than willing to open up my Dreamcast and solder in a DB-9 port to get this running. At the least, if they're not going to produce them commercially, it would be nice to see some schematics.

Exactly. Or they could modify Dreamcasts and charge money for it..I think there would be big demand for this.
