Dreamcast GDemu install with 3D printed parts

- The Dreamcast GDemu is a replacement for the GD disk drive. As the years go on the drives start to fail, the GDemu(lator) allows you to put your disk images onto an SD card, into the GDemu. as far as the system is concerned, you have put a game disk in.
Here I show you how I installed the Dreamcast GDemu using 3D printed mounts. As well I show a little bit how to use the GDemu and how to set up the SD card and use GDmenu.
A couple notes on using the card, instructions were not very clear when I looked them up; I think I showed it 'ok' in the video: each file placed on the SD card need to me in a numbered folder, i.e. '01' '02' '03' etc. '01' will automatically boot when turning on the system, so put the GDmenu file in '01'

I'll add some Amazon Affiliate links to the parts used in this build, does not cost you anything to use these link but would help my channel, but as always, Amazon delivery is super fast, others are very slow, so if you can wait; its usually cheaper to buy on eBay or Aliexpress.

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey 🤦♂️ christ
Hey
nice to see you have liked my 3d design. wish you enjoy it. :)
It worked and printed beautifully! Great work!
I did end up altering it to allow two slide switches, needed them for VGA on/off and the internal scan-line generator on/off.....I could not do this without your design tho, thank you very much!
Does this one have the 3D printed wall that helps guide the path of the heat so it doesnt go straight to the board?
@@lovelorn88nick yes, you can find it on the thingiverse file, here www.thingiverse.com/thing:3279412

Not nice to see you mostly copied my 3D design which I made the first version of this a very long time ago.
Hey... hey..... hey...... hey lmfao. Is this a real song? Lmfao. Fuck guess I'm just old. 😂🤣😃
Haha, it’s random songs I find on “copyright free” music TH-cam provides...I figure it’s less offensive then hearing my kids yell “yeet!!” In the background as they are play games😄
nice work
link to have 3d print is not avaiable
possible to order ?
many thanks
Just got this made up, what size screws did you use to secure the tray to the dreamcast and the sd card holder to the tray - having a hard time finding the right sizes - Thanks
That was the tricky part for me as well, no where did I find a listing for these screws. I happen to have tons of screws from many years of working on game systems and electronics; the SD card part, I believe the screws I used were from a SNES controller, the tray is the AES one, very skinny and short, and a very wide head/use washers. I do wish I knew what the actual name/size of the screws were tho.
I think the maker of the parts commented on the video, maybe reply to that comment?
I will pin any comment that has the answer 👍
This looks awesome in that same colour
It makes me wonder if anyone has just made a 3d replacement for the full opening lid then making the Dreamcast logo a flip up design with the SD card slot inside that
Drinking game: Take a shot everytime you hear “aye”
This design was based off my design that I did not give anyone permission to use, and of which my design has been on the GDEMU site.
Link to images of your design?
Did you print them yourself? Or were these parts bought from somewhere? If so, where?
I printed these my self, I used my monoprice MP200 mini as seen in my goofy “love you/send noods” vid here 😄:

Here is the files on Thingiverse:
www.thingiverse.com/thing:3279412
Search “Dreamcast gdemu” on eBay or AliExpress to buy them already printed (don’t know these sellers, can’t vouch for them)
@@logicdb Yeah, missed those details in the video description, my apologies!
This version does not have the base or insert that redirects the air to go thru the Dreamcast out thru to the fan to keep it from over heating and destroying the GDEMU.
That beat nice
From within a Game Is Their a Controller Button Sequence Press Combination That Can Replicate The Little GDEMU Reset Back To EMU Menu Button Right From The Controller?
Like My Modded XB Does Remotely without having to Run Up To the Console To Hit That Little Reset Return Back To Our GDEMU Button Every Time?
If There Isn't ...There Should BE :-)
I think you hit “Start, A, B, Y, X”.....should really give it a try, but with my current setup, it’s easier for me to just hit the button on the GDemu....
Hi. The link for the 3D printed parts no longer works?
I’m sure I have the files somewhere (although I remixed the file to add holes for more switches) find me on Instagram, can work it out in DMs
The link for the 3-D printed parts gets a 404 error
New link to the 3d printed part? or uploaded files?
Thanks for this vid. I believe theres a key combination on the controller to get back to GDEMU as well right
?
Nikhchan's Gaming - all 4 face buttons + start, but you want to disable that option for multi-disc games, so the button will swap between the discs instead.
The 3d printed design was removed, can you re-upload somewhere else?
Find me on Instagram
Do you have any heat problems? I want to buy also a GDEMU but i am afraid of that or is just a rumor?
I have not had heat problems, but I don’t play for very long sessions....there are replacement internal to external power supplies (search ‘dreamcast PICO’), I have not used these, but I’ve heard it’s a solution
Check out the dreampsu that's the one I use and it works great ... You will need a 12v adapter to use it though. If you do not want to use another psu look up how mod the DC power supply to adjust for the GDEmu
@@MaddSweetGT500 I bought DreamPSU and GDEmu and everything is working great. Also did the mod with the Noctune fan. No heat problems at all!!! Thank you guys!
Hi,
Thank for your video, please I would like to print the stl files, but the thingiverse link doesn't work, please can you upload the stl file again?
Thanks.
Best.
@Focux is there a link that we can download the stl on Google drive or somewhere?
The one one thingverse is ot the same no???
@@imGREENMANworld Sorry I don't understand...
@@federiko8397 the design on thingverse not look like this
Find me on Instagram, can’t seem to post a link in the comments
Hey!
Hey!!
Is it true that u have to tweak the power suply so it wont overheat?
It’s true that people have tweaked the power supply by removing the 12v regulator (which powered the GDrom drive) but, that also runs the modem, which I intend to use with a raspberry Pi and DreamPi distro......
I think this is only for Europeans that 'might' need to do this . I've been using mine for 2 weeks with zero issues. Yet people keep telling me I need to or itll overheat on me. Lol lol
So i should leave it then if i intend to also use a Rpi in the future.
Maybe ill just install a fan in there :)
Nemesis Nine or get a DreamPSU
You can use 3 10kohm resistors in parallel over the 12v line, which I found still overheated and crashed during intensive games. I've just swapped out for a Dream PSU.
