I don't know the website, but there is info out there. The process involves a certain cable to transfer the GD-ROM data from the DC to a PC; I think you have to make this cable but I'm not sure. Then you need some software to read the GD-ROM data to the PC for the ISO image.

pain in the behind is right.

basically you have to move them all from the dreamcast to a pc through either a serial port or if your lucky a network adapter.

Best bet is to download them from the newsgroups. It would probably take weeks to get the first rip working.. Then after that 6 hours per.

And after that... you have to know what parts to remove to have it fit on a CD if you want to make a backup for your dreamcast itself.

btw, I don't believe chankast is really all the useful if you have a dreamcast (which is needed to rip). Sure it would be GREAT for my dreamcast cabinet to not need to swap CDs... but currently it runs slow enought its not worth the hassle.
