The laser on my Sega Dreamcast (SDC) died a few years ago and I finally got around to trying to fix it, unfortunately, I was not able to get the optical drive to start working again. After watching a few youtube videos about modding the SDC, I purchased this GDEMU ODE and all I can say is WOW this is just amazing. Now my entire SDC library is on one SD card. Also found a seller on eBay that makes a 3D printed mount adapter with an sd card extension cable that allows you to close the opening left by removing the optical drive for this ODE mod. You might also need to look into replacing the PSU (Power Supply Unit) as well since the power draw from the original disc drive is no longer there and might cause the OG PSU to overheat. Just google/ youtube it you'll find multiple tutorial videos.

That said if your SDC Optical drive is failing, just replace it with this ODE unit, one of the easiest mods you can do and keep the "dream" going. No soldering...the most difficult aspect of setting this up will be what size SD card you should go with to get your game library on here and find enough VMUs (Visual Memory Unit) for storing your game saves now.

Works as intended. An easy diy, doesn't take long to do. Just make sure you order three 1kilo ohm resistors to offset the power output when you change the optical drive. Also get a card reader extension like the picture above.

This is a clone of the actual GDemu. The actual product costs about 3x as much. They're also made in small batches and sell out quickly. These bootlegs are a lot cheaper and readily available in many corners of the Interweb. Most get the job done. This one seems to. There were overheating issues but those are normal and easily fixed with a couple resistors. You may run into issues with firmware updates but you've got to expect some issues given the savings.

I'm aware this is a clone and so I'm not going to screw with firmware and there's no need because it works fine as is. I have a 256 GB micro SD formatted as FAT32 full of Dreamcast games.
