anyone have a dream cast hdd mod my drive is bad can't replace it where I live
Why not going for a gdemu? Hdd drive is like 36 solderpoints and a gdemu is just a drive swap.
With the GD-ROM gone, the 12V rail that powered it is no longer having that draw on it, so can output up to 14V, causing your Dreamcast to get very, very hot, and may shorten the lifespan of components. The 3D printed tray I’m fitting will help airflow, but if you’re not fitting one, some people recommend you put in some paper to help the fan draw air correctly over the PSU, as can be seen in this crude example. To rectify this effectively, a simple mod adding some resistors will bring the voltage back down. This information originally came from this post, and at 01:40 in the second video down the page, you can see where it needs to go. Further discussions with two awesome people, one an electronics expert, have made me alter the modification slightly. He advised that a 300ohm 1/4W resistor isn’t really going to cut the mustard as it will itself get too hot. If you’re going to go for a single resistor, 1W is better. Further to that, 330ohm is better than 300ohm as it will lower the amperage output, and that’s what’s going to make more difference to the heat generation. Even better than that is three 1Kohm 1/4W resistors in parallel (creating a resistance of 333.33ohm), as the load is shared between the three.
Becouse I live in Syria can't get the gdemu it cost so muchWhy not going for a gdemu? Hdd drive is like 36 solderpoints and a gdemu is just a drive swap.
Becouse I live in Syria can't get the gdemu it cost so much
40 £ man my salary is 200 $ a month and I have 3 kids and my mam
Be the way I have a ba in accounting lol
Before the war every thing was so cheep
I can solder I have made a mod to my GameCube I solder'd the sd card to the port 2 and it's working great
That's what's I am trying to get the pin out solder point to hddHello.
That is great.
Do you have a Manual for the HDD Modification ?
