rofl, what Rand said is pretty much an inside joke from Dcemulation.

The bios does exist and is easily dumped with proper connections to the Dreamcast (Coder's Cable and BBA do it I think). The IP.BIN is NOT the bios.... a lot of confusion around there that it is. The IP.BIN simply tells the Dreamcast what to boot (usually the scrambled 1ST_READ.bin).

There also has been people of acussing me that a scrambled 1ST_READ.bin is illegal. It is not, Galoob Vs. Nintendo taught us that if I remember correctly. I will not go into the technical reasons WHY it isn't illegal.... bust just know that it isn't unless the program was made with a pirated devkit.
