hooking the dc up to my computer, specs on whats need?
 

ok, all new to this stuff. all i need to know is what is used to hook the dreamcast to my computer so i can copy my games.

i know i need the serial slave and a cable, no idea what the cable looks like. small town not many place to pick things up. a pic of it might be nice or of how it plugs in.

i do have a boot disc.

thanks to anyone who replys

umm check in this forum a little. i have seen it posted a few times..... I dont know :D

Dreamcast Cable to PC
 

the cable is made by a company called Innovations and looks like a serial port at one end but the other end almost resembles a usb port.. You need one other thing to connect it to the serial port in the DC though and i am still searching for it... the cable only runs about 9.99

i was looking at my local computer/office store and they had a serial to a usb. would that work?

i also saw a usb to a usb.
one was a "A" connector to a "A" connector
the other was a "A" to a "B"
i have usb ports on my computer. so if one of them would work then which one do i get.

thanks to all for your help!

He said it RESEMBLES to USB connector, but DC does NOT work with USB technology.

YOu need a special cable and that's all. Check dccopyworld.com for more info on how to build one for your own or check www.lan-kwei.com or www.lik-sang.com to buy one.

Another faster method is to buy a broadband adapter.

Cable takes 24hours to copy a game. BBA takes 1 hour.
