I'm afraid that you may be out of luck..

The Dreamcast uses a special type of D-ROM called a "GD-ROM"; it cannot be read in a PC CD-ROM drive, and even if it could, most of the games use protection systems to stop them from being copied.

Someone else reading these forums might be able to expand on this, but I think you'll have to resort to getting your games again, or via another means..

All the best :-)
