JP Games on an EU Dreamcast?
As the title suggests, is it possible (or preferably "easy") to run Japanese Dreamcast games on a European system?

If your Dreamcast is a Model 0 or 1, that is for burning.Whooa21 wrote:Burn something like the gameshark cdx and run the game through that.
It even changes the swirl from blue to orange.
Alternatively, you can use the utopia boot disc.
Collection; Neo Geo CD, JVC X'Eye, Model 1 Genesis, Model 2 Genesis, 2 Japanese Saturns, 2 Game Gears in a few thousand pieces, 5 or 8 PS1s (don't judge), 1 PS1 DTL (TOOL, NOT a Yaroze), 1 Gamecube, 1 Wii, 1 Xbox 360, 2 Gameboy Advances, 1 3DS, 1 PS2 TEST that WORKS!!!

Man, this seems like way too much hassle for what I wanted to use it for. I'll just skip it and enjoy the pretty box instead.
I appreciate the insight everyone!

I thought physically modding the console was considered a hassle (those were the days)

I bought an Xploder for Dreamcast once. I think it was just for modding cheat codes into games, though, the box didn't say much about booting foreign games. I don't even think I've got it anymore either, so I can't check.
What I DO have, though, are some burned games that somebody made for me back when I was in college. I forget exactly how he'd done it, but he'd found a way to bypass the system's region check, so you could play any game so long as the system THOUGHT it was a PAL release. He very kindly made me copies of Illbleed, Sonic Shuffle and Half-Life

Already got the JP game I want to play, so sadly that doesn't really help me, Gav.
