Dumping [[GD-ROM|GD-ROMs]] can be done using a Dreamcast console with a [[Serial SD card adapter]] or [[Broadband adapter]]. Alternative, special models of PC drives can be disassembled and modified to dump GD-ROMs with the proper software and technique.

If you have a Broadband Adapter, the simplest way is using [[httpd-ack]] ([[:File:Httpd-ack-20080711.zip|download]]).
If you are using an SD card adapter, use [[SDRip]] ([[:File:Dcsdrip11.zip|download]]). Do not use Dreamshell for dumping GD-ROMs as the ripper software in Dreamshell is unreliable.
