It's also possible to DIY a dreamcast to read games from an old IDE hard drive, using the same Dreamshell OS needed to read games from SD cards. Dreamshell itself can be flashed onto an alternate BIOS, but this requires physically soldering a new flash ROM to the main board.

This kind of mod appeals to me but there's no way I'm going to solder that many connections directly onto my dreamcast's main board. But, I wonder if there could be something like a piggyback connector for the ROM chip or a solderless version of the IDE breakout board used in that writeup. It looks like someone may have designed something like part of that already
