Why would someone ruin an LE console with a modchip? just use a normal one for modding (I would say for playing too).
Why would someone want to ruin an LE console? Just use a normal one to mod it or play CDs. Something's wrong here. Delete two of my messages, please. :banghead: Did you ever try burning a CDR with data in the first track instead of audio like most? That is 'supposedly' the trick, but I don't know much about the Sakura DC. ***Oooh, what's the manufacturing date on it? That I'd LOVE to know.*** Hi, I have a japanese Sakura wars dreamcast with no mil cd support. I want to play original pal games on it... Is there anyway I can get the regionchanger software to boot on it ?? or is installing a modchip my only solution to play my pal games ?? I was gonna say swap disc but as you say it doesn't boot copied stuff. Er, a chip is an option but Dreamcast can be had for about the same price as a modchip so... Or I could swap my PAL consoles for your Sakura Wars one. lol Wow, a member from the future (Join Date: Dec 2010)! Back on topic: yes, just get a loose PAL system for your gaming needs and keep your Sakura DC as it is. Even if you were to do a region change you'd need to open it and bridge two solder points if I'm right which is kind of a no-no on limited edition systems. Isn't there some method of burning data/data sessions instead of audio/data sessions that enables non-MIL CD Dreamcasts to boot? Can you run an Action Replay or the DC-X on a non-MIL DC? Both can run import games. I heard that these new systems would still boot MIL-CD but then you had to make the first track of your disc be data. I took it apart.. and ordered a modchip... hope I get it next week... If I screw up something while soldering I guess I just buy a PAL dc and exchange the cases... here it is in parts.. http://crystal-ice.tw/album/main.php?cmd=album&var1=My_Stuff/Video+Gaming/Dreamcast/
