MIL-CD capable (ones that can play backup CDs) are those Dreamcasts manufactured before October 2000, primarily.
My Dreamcast I got in 2001 (clearance at $50 new) is compatible, as is the one I got off of shopgoodwill.com for $9 not including shipping.

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
I mentioned my model month/year in my post above. Thanks, though. So... anything before June 2001 is safe, then.JoeAwesome wrote:June 2001 or October 2001 models are what I've heard. You'll find it underneeth the system pretty easily.

Sorry to overlook that. Storino, it might be October 2000 what I read.Breetai wrote:I mentioned my model month/year in my post above. Thanks, though.

Ok, there's a circled number on the DC label on the bottom. A 0 or 1 is golden but a 2 is iffy. I'm pretty sure I've seen people say October and December before. Though apparently you can get the later ones to boot stuff too, it's just a little trickier. If you're standing at your favorite thrift store, remember the circled number if you have no resources available and you've got a good idea at least.

I was not aware of this. I thought they all played burned games. In the past I've bought them up like crazy and given them to friends, and they've all played burned games.
I guess I just got really lucky? At this point, I'm guessing that the ones that don't play burned games are super rare? LOL.

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
If you want to unload that World Series Baseball 2k1 - let me know. I was re-organizing my DC collection the other day and realized this is the only 2K sports game I didn't have a real copy of.Breetai wrote:Well, I've got two DCs that ready burnt games now.

That place was tiny. I would have seen it. I joke as for as thrift stores go, they are a lot nicer than the people who work at thrift stores in Kansas City.JoeAwesome wrote:You never know.

I bought Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero (N64) for $3 at a Flea Market the other day. That game fucking sucks!
