Does the new Dreamcast Smash Packs play backup CDRs?

If the machine does not play backups is there anyway to fix it so it can. Mod chip, rom flash etc??

Actually, I've read that you may be able to re-build the game discs in a different way so they work with the new (post-10/2000) DC units.

The new units won't work with the audio track at the beginning of the disc. Now people have discovered that instead of AUDIO/DATA type discs, using "DATA/DATA" game discs works. I haven't tried this because I don't have a newer DC (mine is June 2000), however what was suggested was to use CDMAGE or ISOBUSTER to dump the image to your hard drive. Then use mkisofs with no offset (-C 0,0) to create an ISO file, then use the newest version of BIN2BOOT to create a bootable disc.

Once again, I've not tried this and can't say for certain that it will work. Try it at your own risk.
