RetroDream

What is RetroDream ?

RetroDream is a file manager and game loader for the sega dreamcast gaming console. It can browse hard drive (g1-ide, g1-ata) and sdcard for your games, and more capabilities are to come. It's an alternative to the popular DreamShell application.

How does it works ?

For simplicity and interoperability, RetroDream use DreamShell loaders, presets and preview images. You must have DreamShell installed either on your hard drive ("/ide/DS") or sdcard ("/sd/DS") so it can find your loaders, presets and preview images. Next you'll have to copy the RetroDream binary either on your hard drive or sdcard and load it with DreamShell, or simply replace the DreamShell binary ("DS/DS_CORE.BIN") with the RetroDream one.

A custom bios is in the work to be able to easily select or configure which binary to boot at startup.

A basic configuration file is created in the "RD" direction on either your hard drive or sdcard, with basic settings for now.
