Question... ..

I was wondering, will this emulator be able to run dreamcast games?

I mean, if I have the actual dreamcast CD, and put it in the CD rom.. Will it be able to play them?

you wont be able to read the dreamcast disc, as it is a proprietary GD-ROM format. you would need to use your dreamcast to read the game disc, and transfer the image to your computer in the form of an ISO or something similar. or you could always cheat the system and try to find a download of the game

or burn your backup iso of the game, than run the game from burned cd

BTW. anyone tried to burn backup on dvd r? :d

I do believe you can buy a gd-rom burner on ebay and if so couldnt you use that to play the game... even though its 1000$+

If you're spending that kind of money, you might as well spring for an HKT-01 dev kit too, so you can write your own games.

But yes, that possibility is quite real. If you really want to play original GDR's in the emu, then that is a route that you can take.
