Jean-François DEL NERO (who’s behind the HxC SD Floppy Emulator) recently has released a version of the HxC emulator firmware that is compatible with the STM32 chip used in the Gotek floppy emulators.
This means that the great functionality of the HxC SD emulator is now available on cheaper and more widely available hardware.
The bootloader to convert the Gotek floppy drive in HxC compatible must be purchased on the website HXC 2001 by sending an email to Jean-François DEL NERO. The price of the bootloader is one-off 10 Euro per Gotek that you want to update. Future updates of the software are free and can be made from a USB stick
The HXC Usb (Gotek) firmware supports:

..and after 5 months finally the DreamPSU is here!
DreamPSU – Making your Dreamcast™ cool again.
The DreamPSU is a simple and fast to install replacement power supply for the SEGA Dreamcast that not only reduces heat, but also frees up some much needed internal space for any other mods you may have or want to install.
Last year I noticed my Dreamcast™ getting unusually hot around the power supply, Not long after, I got myself a GDEMU (not required for the DreamPSU, but awesome anyway), and the heat further increased, after doing some research I realized the culprit was the 12v line on the power supply, when it isn’t used it actually reaches 14v and produces a lot of heat, not wanting to modify the existing power supply for when I wanted to use my GDRom disc drive, I thought, OK, I’ll make myself a new power supply.
I recently spoke to a friend of mine and he explained how the Dreamcast™ power supplies will eventually die and people will have to cannibalize other consoles for parts. So I told him about my power supply and he convinced me there might be a market for it and that I should see if people would be interested, So I posted on the Dreamcast-Talk forums and Facebook and indeed it seems like people are.
Features:
- Small Size, only 48mm x 43mm (1.89in x 1.70in).
- Drop in, easy to use replacement for original power supply (no modifications necessary).
- Utilizes your original Dreamcast™ power button.
- Runs from an external 12v 2.5amp power supply (not included).
- Less heat inside your Dreamcast™ means that will potentially last longer.
- More space inside your Dreamcast™ for other mods.
- Spare 12v and 5v power header available for mods.

What is DiagROM?
DiagROM is a diagnostic tool for the amiga computers.
And it is to be used on defective machines, trying to help no-boot situations etc.
You simply replace the Kickstart roms in the Amiga with the DiagROM. and when poweron. your Amiga will start a diagnostic software. It will try to dump info on the serialport (and actual menus etc aswell) while also trying on the screen.
Changelog:
- RTC Test improved with OKI Chipset support (but RTC test still is kind of buggy)
- Remade the autoconfig handling for much better ZorroIII support etc.
- Possability to turn on/off cache in manual memortedit (this WILL crach your machine on 68000/68010)
- Added an experimental “no chipmem” screen to try to figure out biterrors with rasterbars. (dark bar=dead bit, light bar=working bit)
- Added support for Amiga 1000 with a limited version of DiagROM.
- Parallel and serialporttests using SysTest compatible loopback adapters.
- Diskdrivetests.
- And.. some internal changes and stuff I actually forgotten.
Updatehistory:
- 2017-10-01:
- Long time since last time:
- Added tests for Parallel and serialporttesting using SysTest compatible loopbackadapters
- 2017-07-30:
- Added possability to run on A1000 as bootstraprom. I have removed moduletesting and gfx test-screemn to save space.
- Some additional bugfixes.
- 2017-07-06:
- Fixed a bug, when setting DTR high I accidentally put Dikdrive motor on!
- when no chipmem is foundand no fastmem, instead of just flashing a green screen, it now checks memaddr $400 and shows in stripes biterrors. bright color=bit working, dark=bit error. evbery 15 frame it flashes and steps +4 bytes of memaddr to check
- 2017-06-17:
- Oh! yes long time. Now DiagROM is opensource avaible at https://github.com/ChuckyGang/DiagROM
- Totally rewritten Autoconfig, now handles Z2 and Z3 and should be working. if you get stuck in a loop (autoconfig not working) it
- will halt after 32 “boards”. Also in ManualEdit mode, I have inlcuded a function to turn on/off cache. to debug cacheissues on CPU Cards.
- BE CAREFUL! this WILL crash if you run it on a 68000/010
- Also fixed bug of garbage in menus.
