Hope it will be possible.

----Игры требуют v0.7.x:
Aero Dancing F = AeroWings 2 - Airstrike
NHL 2K2 RUS из темы Megavolt.
Super Producers - Mezase Show Biz Kai
Surf Rocket Racers = Power Jet Racing 2001 регион JP.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (ИСПРАВЛЕНО в загрузчике v0.8.3 + behind the loader).

----Игры требуют v0.6.x:
Ooga Booga [Echelon Hack]
South Park - Chef's Luv Shack
Maximum Speed

NHL 2K2, Ooga Booga и Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 работают без low-level, я для них отключил это в пресетах.
AeroWings 2 не могу проверить он без VGA, но он запускается вроде. Нужно остальные перепроверять тоже.

There is a question: can the new version of the BIOS chip flasher only be limited to flashing 2M files? Can it flash 4M BIOS files?

Currently is not. But 4MB chips can be flashed, but not as one linear 4MB write. The Dreamcast only maps 2MB of BIOS ROM, so a 4MB image is two 2MB banks: flash the first half, switch the bank (switch or GPIO, depending on the mod), then flash the second half.

@SWAT Have you tested Sega Rally 2? I can't get it to boot.

It didn't launch for me either. I'll try to fix it.

I noticed something interesting with the Japanese Sega Rally 2 (on 4.0.3). It plays music in the online lobby. I thought this was normal until I played the original disc and saw that there was no music in the lobby. This is the first time I've encountered DreamShell playing music in a place where the original disc doesn't. lol

That’s interesting. It’s possible there’s simply a bug in the game that doesn’t affect the DreamShell. The loader could not start the music without a request from the game, but it would not stop it if it was already playing.

Yeah I was thinking it could be a bug in the game as well because the music fits the lobby very well. It's not just playing random race music.
