Soldiaz: you're talking about the beta ... the prototype "all-in-one" PSX emulator, as it were.

There were several copies of this beta, all color-coded (blue, red, green, yellow and (I think) orange or something)... all of them were coded such that they would only run on particular Dreamcast consoles given to official beta testers. The actual emulation code in all of these betas is identical, so when the "blue" beta was cracked, essentially all of them were cracked. Meaning, there's no point in cracking the other colors, too, as you'll end up with the exact same, unfinished bleemcast! beta.

Now, the three commercial, finished bleemcasts are a different story. One is for Tekken 3, one for Metal Gear Solid, and one for Gran Turismo 2. That's it.

But only the cracked beta works when burned to a blank CDR (it's a regular audio/data selfboot, nothing more).

Certainly, the DC Coders Cable helps in reading the original (commercial) Bleemcast discs, but the problem of making a working backup remains.
