To be fair, this wouldn't be the first system we've gotten an optical drive replacement for. There's the SD card loading GDEMU for DC and the USB replacement for 3DO, plus I know others are in the works. One of the biggest downfalls of optical drive based systems is eventually those optical drives fail, and the replacement isn't always easy to do for the average user (or even possible to find sometimes)
there is a GD drive replace for HDD on dreamcast look around, SD card is too slow, on the subject of optical drives they are all available right now for any cd based system is just a matter of getting the best price, most of them are quite easy to swap, the hardest I've done is the CDX cause you take the whole thing apart, any other are pretty straight forward. that is no excuse really. unless you were born inside a fallout game and you have a 0 repair skills and 0 technology then it will just take time but not impossible for the average user.

>>When uploading MVS games, are you doing the graphics bit swap in real time?
Yes, the required 68K patching and V-ROM/C-ROM demultiplexing is also done in realtime. You can basically point it at an MVS rom and it will figure out how translate that to NGCD code on the fly.
wow just wow I am very impressed I can't wait to get my hands on that bios and everyone knows why I am called Eager Beaver here! just can't wait!!
