    one other tip...if you are attempting to access the Dreamcast menu to look at game saves on your vmu, make sure that 01 gdemu menu is highlighted, and then choose the exit to menu option using your controller. otherwise if a game is highlighted when you do so, when you attempt to exit the dreamcast menu screen, it will end up selecting the next game by default, making it so that you have to power off your console to get back to the gdemu screen.

    To get back to the edgmu menu make sure you have auto start on in your DC settings and when you’re done with a game press A,B,X,Y and start together a few times and it should bring you back to the gdemu menu. The first time you press the combo it will get you to the title screen of the game you’re currently playing and press once again should get you back to GDEMU.

    Replacing the dreamcast power supply: a solution looking for a problem. There is nothing wrong with the original power supply. Replacing it with some cheap Chinese crap is just making the console less reliable, and the video actually proves this point. Every other upgrade is relevant, especially the ODE, HDMI, and fan mod. The battery holder mod while neat and convenient isn't as useful since many people don't power on the console enough to keep a new rechargeable lithium coin topped off (the battery only charges when the console is powered on) so you will still find yourself setting the time every time you power on the console unless you use it more than once every few weeks. Finally, there are some edge cases where the controller port F1 mod is relevant though anecdotally I've never had an issue unplugging\plugging controllers while the console was on. Great video, and agree with your points, especially reinstalling the original PSU. There was never anything wrong with it and the only thing that sold DreamPSU was hype.

    Well done Tito. The momentary switch on the GDEMU is primarily used for games that have multiple discs allowing the user to seamlessly swap ‘discs’. I strongly advise you get the GDMENU software my Madsheep. You can then format it to your heart’s content. To get to the main menu on GDEMU you simply press Start while holding all four face buttons (A,B,X,Y). I strongly recommend the Laserbear printed disc shroud which gets rid of the hollow look once you open the lid of the system.

    hold A+B+X+Y+START and it will soft reset usually back to either the GDEmu or the games main menu at which point doing it again should take you back to GDEmu or you can power cycle the console. pressing the tactile switch is for loading the next image for when you have a game that uses two or more discs and you have to do the disc swap during the game.

    I never knew the Dream PSU used 12v dc, that’s great! I’m working on a little project to have all my modded consoles run on a standard 12v barrel jack, and using a daisy chain adapter, I can run all my consoles off of one high-end 12v power supply, which is both tidier in a setup and more power efficient. Also, if I need to take a console on the road, there is no longer a need to keep track of different power cables or power bricks.

    Dream PSU is a generic power supply and has no protections for low quality power bricks. The better way is to use a picoPSU with an adapter specifically made for the Dreamcast. I'm sticking with the OG power supply and cord because it's a pretty generic cord and I don't want to have the added bulk of the external power supply. If you travel with it just don't unplug the cord from the Dreamcast and you won't forget it. The only real benefit to the power supply swap is the ability to use a North American console in countries with 220V, and maybe some longevity improvement by less internal heat. However, with stock PSU and better fan mod, the Dreamcast doesn't really get too warm anyways.

    There's a 3d printed GDEMU mount that sits more flush with the dreamcast disc drive. It looks more clean IMO and has an extension SD card ribbon to reach to the GDEMU board and it hides the GDEMU from any exposure of objects falling into it, preventing damages. I bought one from LaserBear. It also makes the disc changing button on the GDEMU more accessible.

    I just put my ultimate Dreamcast together today after the last of the parts finally showed up two days ago. I used my original console for the motherboard+controller port since the gd rom died when I last tried using it to test a few hdmi converters I picked up. The build has a gdemu clone & 3d printed tray, battery replacement, noctua fan mod, an official broadband adapter, smoke grey case from probably the same aussie seller, and a dreamport psu. I don't see many people talking about these, there's a basic version and there's one with 4 bluetooth chips, which is the version I got. I still need to buy a bt converted controller but overall I'm hyped to give this a go. I think I'm also going to grab a modded rechargeable & backlit VMU from the same guy. Dreammods is the guy who mods the last few items if anyone's curious.

    For most retail games, a double soft-reset will bring you back to the GDmenu. First soft-reset (A+B+X+Y+Start) will take you back to the current game's title screen. Soft reset again from the title-screen to return to the game list.

    I had the same problem when I installed my GDEMU board. I couldn't use the cheap 3D printed tray from Ebay. I made a video about the problems I had with it. Instead of replacing the power board. I just removed a transistor from it to keep the heat down. I love playing my dreamcast, I use the VGA cables from retrobit with a Dell E773c CRT monitor. 480p never looked so good. I would love the smoke shell mod next. Keep up the good work.

If you look in Thingiverse, you'll see various iterations of the SD Mount that have been tweaked to handle the clones. I printed the correct one and it fit perfectly in mine. It just comes with modding sometimes.

    The gdemu boards come in two thicknesses. You just happen to have the thicker version, which like you said won't work with a lot of the 3d printed options. I had no issues when I installed mine because I didn't know the difference between all the versions. I happened to do a lot of research and found that there are two thicknesses. Also you are right about the dream psu. Alot of people use them with the gdemu, however there are many that state you can have issues that can cause damage.

    Very sad we didn't see the battery replacement, or the fuse. I lost THREE Dremcasts to that fuse as a kid in 2001. THREE. I didn't understand why the controller ports kept going bad... I was only able to identify that a particular controller I had was causing the problem with each of them. So, seeing that replaced would give me 'special' satisfaction

Especially second guessing my soldering job given how intensive the soldering was in the first video. The main thing keeping me from doing this build is all the soldering work, and the price, that comes with the DCDigital kit. Great lessons learned though!

    I have most of these mods on my project desk minus the DC Digital. I gave up as I realized I really don't like Dreamcast lol. The library does not entice me and the few games that do (Sonic) are available on Xbox anyway. Plus that controller is....rough. I ended up installing a Fenrir in a Saturn instead and using SCART>OSSC. Here's hoping an HDMI mod is created for Saturn someday, al though I've read it's very difficult so is therefore quite unlikely. It's probably only likely to manifest someday if someone does a passion project and sells it or makes it open source. Great video though as always that's definitely the Ultimate Dreamcast.
