why can't we rip dreamcast game using pc instead of dreamcast to pc. It's takes a while and plus some people might have too many things in there computer that they can't install the program anymore.....notice me if there's a possible way to rip dc games using pc. Thanks

It might be possible if you had a GDROM on your PC and you don't !!!

what's a gdrom? is it a special program or software?

GDROM is the format for DC discs (Giga byte Disc).
There's a GD reader in your DC (obviously !!!).
Only DC developpers have that.

You should read that :
