The Sega Dreamcast is a console that probably has had the most new games, new hardware interfaces, hacks, etc released for it after it was commercially dead. Take this new hack for instance, a hard drive interface. One that really works. Read on for more information.
The hacking is deep and requires extensive soldering and wiring to the Sega Dreamcast motherboard. This is definitely not for the feint of heart. It is also slightly ugly, someone should create a case for the hard drive that fits the style of the Sega Dreamcast.
Some games won’t work such as Crazy Taxi and Soul Calibur while others have problems that could be detrimental to enjoying them. Games are booted from the ISO on the hard drive using DreamShell.
