![]() Just like the Saturn console before Sega was ahead of their time. ![]() And not because it was easily cracked but because it was just better. And what a shame the Dreamcast was by far the better console. The Playstation2 came bursting out on release date making the Dreamcast fail. Because the protection was only looking for copied 1GB Discs not 700mb CD-R’s -) NO modchips or software modding was needed to play backups or downloaded games. Hackers/crackers were able to rip the data directly from the Dreamcast to PC (Using a home made coder’s cable under $20) then by removing unneeded data on the disc to make it under 700mb they could burn the games to regular CD-rs and play them on the Dreamcast. Sega team gave the hacking community little or no credit. The Dreamcast used a Gigabyte Rom drive in the system that of course played GB discs and music CD’s. Since the GB burners were very expensive/ almost impossible to get and Dreamcast would require a mod chip to play burnt 1gb disc games.PC’s only had 700mb burning capability at that time. ![]() Sega made the biggest mistake they thought by using 1024 Discs & hardware aka: 1GB discs & GB Drive thus doing copyright protection for GB-Discs not 700mb CD-Rs. Of all the consoles I had the Dreamcast was my favorite and still holds the coolest Game system of all time in my book.
