Object-oriented Programming with ANSI-C [pdf]
I'm a huge academic fan of what GTk has accomplished (thanks to their GObject type system), and as much as I know the C89 crowd who thinks macros are all evil probably abhor this kind of thing, I think GTk is one of the most epic, impressive, ambitious C codebases in existence. Witness as non-OO C matches, rivals, and quite often beats Qt on equivalent classes/features in plain C... It's even above "just C++ style C," as they have added features like a property and signal system...
Such a fanboy it inspired my own type system and massive core library, libgimbal, which uses a type system similar to GObject and targets game consoles like the Sega Dreamcast: https://github.com/gyrovorbis/libgimbal

Someone got the link to the latest version of Iso Loader for dreamshell?
The latest version can be found on the DC-SWAT forum, though https://github.com/DC-SWAT/DreamShell/releases is also regularly updated (last release was yesterday).

Do I have any options for SD/USB/HDD loading of games without removing my optical drive?
DreamShell is still in active development (there were commits pushed to its repository on GitHub three days ago). The full package was last posted to the website in 2016 if that's what you're thinking of, but updates have been published on that site's forum too.

Purchased a Dreamshell CD and SD Card adapter from Kaico. I am using a 128gb extreme pro SanDisk SD card. I formatted it to Fat32 and install the DS files into the root of folder. Dreamshell still cannot find SD card on bootup
Formatted it to fat32 with 32K cluster size, then I put the Dreamshell files in root of the SD card. (https://github.com/DC-SWAT/DreamShell/releases/tag/V4.0) *I made a goof in my first comment and implied you needed to put retrodream's files on the sd card, but they share DS' files.
- DC-Swat has implemented Bitcoin mining on Dreamshell???

Getting DreamShell and MODE working Together
