Purchasing new DC and want to know if boot cd and copies will work

I am buying a new DC and I pruchased the black console. I was told that copied games will not work in this console. Is this true? Is there a DC yet that will not work with the cd copies and boot cd?

Let's just end this once and for all.......The black dreamcasts DO play cdrs....It all started as a rumour that new dc's will not be able to play them and personally i don't think that sega have the money to waste investing in it!

End of story
