Setting up your Storage Device
Format your MicroSD card, SATA drive or USB thumbstick to either FAT32 or exFAT.
MODE supports using a single storage option or 2 of the 3 storage options at the same time. You
can use microSD with SATA or microSD with USB. However you can not use all three at the same
time nor can you use SATA and USB together. See the Limitations section for more details.
Create a folder named “Saturn”, “Dreamcast”, or both, on the root of your storage device and copy
the CD or GD-ROM image folders into it.
Each CD game image set should be in their own folder.
Multi disc game image sets can be combined into the same folder, however that is not a requirement.
More on multi disc games in a later section.
MODE supports nested sub folders. This allows for additional sorting capabilities such as folders
for regions or by alphabet if you choose.
Since the games are located in the Saturn or Dreamcast folders, you can use one storage device for both consoles if you plan to move MODE between con-
soles. Example: You can have a 2 terabyte hard disk with both Saturn and Dreamcast folders full of their respective console’s games and they will work indepen-
dently of each other. MODE will only display the contents of the folder that matches up with the console that it’s installed in. Saturn games will not show up on
the Dreamcast and vice versa.
Plug the storage device into MODE in your Saturn or Dreamcast and power the console on.
