Well, Christmas day and what more could I want than a GDEMU for my Dreamcast 😁

Time to get assembling!

Great little upgrade that @rubber_jonnie and great that there is software for use on the Mac as well (works better than the pc version IMO)

I just downloaded the Mac version 😁

Will play with it this afternoon and see what's what.

Great that I have an SD card solution for both the Saturn and the Dreamcast now.

Great job .
I was advised to put some resistors across the 12v line to stop the psu getting extra toasty. I also used a ps2 fan .
I think it was 3x 470 ohms from memory

Yes, I read that too and will look at doing so before I close it up.

I think I’ll actually replace my PSU for one similar to the one I put in my Saturn, should reduce overall temperature as well as main’s interference.

Definitely worth considering.
