I am in for one as well. Organizing saves on my multiple VMU's has been a royal pain.

several things:
I want one
30 euros is a little less than $40 US
I will pay that
does it support SDHC?, if not max is 2 gigs, if so max is 32 (available right now)
I also remember the hard drive thing someone did, it would be great if that would be better documented
what is this about "-=FamilyGuy=-" having made a cable to play gdrom backups? (the image didn't show up, but I nabbed it from the web page source)
having re-read his post it now seems t be able to dump gdroms over the dcserial port, is that right? if so, WOW!
Well abzman2000; FamilyGuy is an experianced electronic, you need to have a good understanding of electronics to do the kinda of stuff he says.. and to have a good shop to supply the electronics..
Color me intersted!
This would give some storage space to make Dreamcast Linux actually useful!
I'll throw down for one if they actually get made.
What I posted is the actual design of the cable they'll sell soon. This design is free as it was released by jj1odm a while ago, but if you can't build one yourself, you better order one from the spanish dudes as it rocks.Quote:

Once the library is released, anybody will be able to code a program that will use it, so a backup launcher could be made by anybody with the skills to do so. I don't think such a thing would be of a legal problem on the DC as we all know this console can accept plain cds anyway and playing GDI would save our gd-rom from wear and tear. But I'll let the lawyer decide wether or not it's OK :P
But be sure that a elf-launcher and VMU managing utility will be made. The open sources emus might also get a mod to support rom loading and state saving to the sd-card, just like the wii does.
Hi you too Failedartifact, it's been a long time since I posted here but I still lurk around a lot :P
Cheers!
FG
Definitely interested in this. Still using my DC several times a week. Thanks for all the effort inolved.
Definitely i want one!!!!
Are they ready for shiping?
where can i order one?
Does anyone know?
If this can be modded to launch anything from the SD card, then you could count me in :)
I'm in. Who do I have to kill to get these things shipping?
I have one too.
Cheers
