Step a) Using the step detailed here: Configuring Safari Download Folder on your iPhone at JILAXZONE, on your iPhone, set your Safari default download folder into On My iPhone > Flycast.
Step b) Once you have set the download folder, now open Safari on your iPhone. Head to the game repository, then choose the game that you want to add (read: download) into your Flycast iOS on your iPhone. Tap on the game title or “Download” button” to start download the game from the game repository. Flycast iOS supports Dreamcast games in the .gdi, .cue and .bin format. If you game is in .zip format, there will be extra step (detailed below) you need to do.
Step c) Safari will start downloading the Dreamcast game to On My iPhone > Flycast folder.
Step d) This is optional step and to be done only if your Dreamcast game is in zip format. Go to Files app, navigate to On My iPhone > Flycast. Tap on the .zip file to start extracting the Dreamcast games.
You are all set. Now go back to your iPhone home screen and tap on “Flycast” app, you should see your Dreamcast games listed on the Flycast main menu.
Adding SEGA Dreamcast games using the help of Computer
| Prerequisites: 1) iTunes – Required to transfer your Dreamcast games into your iPhone. 2) Lightning Cable – Required to connect your iPhone to the Computer so iTunes can recognize it. |
Prepare the Dreamcast games in these format: .gdi, .cue and .bin, then do the following steps to add the SEGA Dreamcast games to your iPhone:
Step a) Plug your iPhone to your Computer.
Step b) On your Computer, open iTunes. On iTunes screen, click on your iPhone icon located on top section to show your iPhone details.
Step c) On iPhone detail screen inside iTunes, on the left side of the iTunes screen, click on “File Sharing”.
Step d) On File Sharing section, click on “Flycast”. Click “Add File…” to add the game. If you can’t find the “Add File…” button, scroll the iTunes File Sharing screen a little bit down.
Step e) Locate your SEGA Dreamcast games to add and then click on “Add”. Based on my testing, Flycast iOS accepts any .bin, .cue, and .gdi files.
Step f) [Optional] You can also copy SEGA Dreamcast BIOS files (dc_flash.bin and dc_boot.bin) so that you can configure all settings related to Dreamcast (such as delete save files). But without BIOS files, the game will run just fine, hence this step is optional.
Step g) Once finished transferring the game, click on “Done” button, then click on “Eject” button to safely remove your iPhone from your Computer.
Now go back to your iPhone home screen and tap on “Flycast” app, you should see your Dreamcast games listed on the Flycast main menu.
