Title: Dreamcast Cab
Post by: aj6500 on July 28, 2003, 07:33:53 am

Is there any way to hook up a hard drive or something to a dreamcast?  I'd like to build a dreamcast cabinet, but don't want to keep switching discs.

I don't think so.

Switching disks isn't that much hassle really.

You could try to hack one of those CD Jukebox or mutli-disc changers to a DC.  I'd try it but its just one more project I'd never get around to finishing.

I'd be happy if the DC had a tray like a CDRom or PS2

prolly wont work, its a very touchy sob, it has to have its own lens and all that fun stuff, check that hardware mod forum over at dcemulation.com. i just put the dc by the lower coin door and can easily swich cds, plus i can lock my kid from playing with the dc itself while he plays games.....

I'd like to be able to switch on the fly, as it were.  I'd like to pick up a jap. style cab with a large monitor, mount holsters on the side and a pair of 6 button player controlls.  Being able to load several games and play them all would be great.

How about running several consoles at once, and some way of switching which one's output gets to the cab itself?  Ideas?
