All dreamcast created equally

[Hacker999]

You can use any burning sofware as long as your burner is compatible with it.

And it's only special edition Japanese Dreamcasts (The Hello Kitty model is an example) that don't play copies. Meaning these don't read CDRs at all.

All American Dreamcasts AFTER not before November 2000 require DATA to be in the first track in order for a back up to work.
I have 7 American and 1 Japanese Dreamcast systems that were all manufactured before Nov 200 and they work with copies.

As far as I know all PAL Dreamcasts work with back ups.
