I was thinking about this lastnight, I have bought tons of DCs here in the US and I have never had one not play a burn before. I'm not sure about the PAL edition, but I think its safe to say all NTSC models will play backups.

howdy selfdestroyer and vlame , i think i was i little unclear and or wrong. Im mean the dreaded before October 2000 problem , im looking to buy a few spare M/B's........

i thought KATANA VA0 or KATANA VA1 would determine either before and after October 2000

though it's unlikely, if your system does crap out i have an extra motherboard (dunno what version but it does play CDR, it's a tested pull) and an extra GDROM drive i can sell

I don't think I've met or chatted with anyone who had a Dreamcast model that didn't play burns, so I'm not sure how reliable the whole later revision thing is.
