Bios And Flash Sega Dreamcast

Guys, I'm in need of your expertise...

It is not possible to flash the original bios chip, right? The subreddit for everything Sega Dreamcast. Collections, questions, finds, pictures, games. Sega Dreamcast Sony Playstation Sony Playstation 2: Top 25 Downloaded Emulators » Visual Boy Advance » Project64 » DeSmuME.

  • BIOS Files » Sega Dreamcast. File Name: dcbios.zip File Size: 1.01 MB. You may also like these Sega Dreamcast ISOs. Resident Evil 2 Disc 1: Resident Evil Code.
  • The Dreamcast Flash Memory Eraser is a small utility that erases the entire writable flash ROM of the Dreamcast. This is most useful for changing the serial number and access key for Phantasy Star Online. When run, it will show the Sega copyright screen and display a red border; when the red border turns green, the flash ROM is erased.

I'm working my way through all the posts here (there is a wealth of useful information here!) and have made a few amendments to the current TOSEC DC Firmware DAT.
It now currently stands like this:
5454841f Sega Dreamcast BIOS v1.004 (1998)(Sega)(JP)(M6).bin
Bios And Flash Sega Dreamcasta2564fad Sega Dreamcast BIOS v1.01d (1999)(Sega)(EU)(M6).binDreamcast

2186e0e5 Sega Dreamcast Development Box HKT-0120 BIOS v1.011 (1999)(Sega)(M6).bin
I've added the recent non-MIL BIOS (http://dumpcast.thekickback.com/forum/v ... php?t=1310), and amended 89F2B1A1 to be non-region specific (as is my understanding re http://dumpcast.thekickback.com/forum/v ... .php?t=499). I've left 5454841F as JP since I believe this has been found in early Japanese DC's only. A2564FAD I've left as EU since I haven't found any info either way for this dump.
Does the above look accurate to you guys?Bios And Flash Sega DreamcastFlash
I'm especially interested in any new dumps or confirming existing dumps/assumptions that might have occurred since when I originally created (and had control of!) this DAT so many years ago.

Also, are the revisions correct? I've notice you reference the 'Kabuto' version in regards to v1.xx, but overall refer to the revision as v2.xx?
Additionally, what's the current situation regarding dumps of the Flash ROM? When I originally aimed to include these as well, there was only a mess of 'used' or hacked dumps available. Are there any 'clean' untouched dumps now? From my failing memory, none of the 'Flash Reset' tools REALLY reset the ROM to factory default, not properly. Is there even any point even looking at these anyway, if they (hypothetically) just 128k of FF's minus the 1 byte that signals J/U/P/A/B region?
