I put together a quick little utility for applying region-free and VGA patches to Dreamcast GDIs without extracting/rebuilding the disc image.

This is particularly useful for USB-GDROM users, as that ODE doesn't auto-patch the VGA flag.

To use, simply drag a .gdi file onto the executable. It supports BIN and ISO data tracks.

Note that this tool doesn't magically apply special-case VGA patches (https://consolemods.org/wiki/Dreamcast:List_of_VGA_Games_and_Patches), but merely enables the IP.BIN flag, which is all that's needed 90% or more of cases.
