    I'm going to buy a Dreamcast (i'm a little bit late, i know ^_^) and I know that is possible to run backups.
    I heard that everything is fine with DC produced before october2000, but the "new" ones have protections.
    Is it possible to run a boot cd to avoid the protection?
    If the DC I'm going to buy will come with a MODCHIP to run import games, it will run backups even if it it produced after oct2000?

    Thank you in advance! :D

    Then why bother to respond. If you can't help, please spare us from your worthless post.

    The machines made after that date can't play CD-Rs. So a boot disc will not work because like a backup the boot disc is on a CD-R, too. You will need to chip it in order to play "backups". If you find a machine made before that date, you can use a boot disc or backups that are self booting. I think liksang.com still sells chiped Dreamcasts and games. Good luck.
