Help with ripping Dreamcast GD-ROMs

Has anybody on this forum got any experience with ripping dreamcast games? I will be buying a second console now for the bedroom, and rather than dragging the disks back and forth between consoles, I'd like to have two collections (which would be useful for link-up as well). Now some games I'll buy second copies (cost of a disk can buy some games) but the more expensive ones I'd like to have back-ups. I am a total newbie to DC ripping, but can get hold of a dc coders cable if that would help (which I believe is needed to make 'back-ups' not illegal disks)

Thanks,
Rich

there realy is no point in ripping Sega's Gd's, its too much like hard work and too hard to learn.
Best thing would be to download them, they are between 300mb and 500mb anyway so wont take long and most of them now are self booting.
im not going to post any links to downloads here though.
