Thanks I didn't know this, i'll look into it
I suppose I shouldn't have assumed this wouldn't work for the same reason the dreamshell install won't work

Is it because it's a iso ? But I thought I could just drag them in as members on other forums said ?
I use a 1gb Sandisk, but the 2gb one should work fine.
I don't know what exactly your trying to do here, but a .cdi is an image file, for it to read the 1ST_READ.bin and 000.dat, they should be within the actual .cdi file. This will not work because it will be reading the 1st_read.bin already within the image.
To make sure it's not something wrong with your SD card reader, wait until theisozone.com is working again, download this small size homebrew game here:
http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/dre ... ase-sdiso/DON'T try and change any of the files in the image, just put on your SD card, load dreamshell, doubleclick the .cdi file and it should work no problems.
If it doesn't work, there is something wrong with your dreamcast serial port or SD card reader (which is possible since they are home made). If it does work, then the games you are downloading a regular iso's not sdiso's, or you're creating them wrong in iso_make if thats what you have been doing.
Other than that there is no reason in the entire world that this would not be working.
