AFAIK not possible.  Dreamcast CD's are in a different format known as 'gd-rom' which won't be read by a standard PC.  I have read some discussions talking about what is necessary to do it, but not seen it done yet.

This is worth a look though : http://icarus.boob.co.uk/  in progress PC DC emulator (which I dont think is a fake).  But I'm guessing he is running Discs which have been ripped to hard drive by reading them on a dreamcast connected to a PC.
