The Dreamcast did actually have some piracy protection. Back in the day though, a specific hacker team stole the official sdk which allowed them to find out the weakness in the copy-protection.

yeah it was ahead of it's time. It came out like 2 years before the ps2 and even had online functionality and was easy to develop for, and the controller even had analog triggers. Too bad Sega shot themselves in the knee with the saturn beforehand :(.
There is technically an "error" if you will: If a Dreamcast disc is played in the music player, an audio message will play telling the user to not play the disc as a CD (since it contains "game data", not audio).
as far as i know and i had one the early produced ones where able to play copies i later buyed a 2nd one after my first broke and it was later produced and it could play copies !
If i remember correctly. There's supposed to be a number after your ntsc or pal and it on those varients (0,1,2,3 etc) if the numbers were 2 or above it couldnt play burned games
5:07 Yeah, most Dreamcasts don't have any real anti-piracy because the Windows CE compatibility made what little there was easily bypassed. Models with it patched (you can tell by a circled "2" or "3" on the bottom) are actually somewhat rare but can be bypassed with a GDEMU (which you'll probably want someday anyway since their belts are all dying or dead, and most of them have bad lasers just due to wear and tear).
@@minignoux4566 The MilCD spec was included to make home development for CE possible without leaving the whole system open, but IIRC the main weakness that allowed the mode switching required to run native Dreamcast binaries from CE mode, was on Windows CE's side. It's called an exploit chain.
@@minignoux4566 Yes, but no? It's complicated. IIRC, there are components of CE on the NAND for security purposes, mostly just 1/2 the bootloader, a logo, and a hardware blob. The bootloader is supposed to remain resident and prevent switching to native binaries from CE code. I THINK (key word there, think) that memory residency is part of how Sonic Adventure 2's final antipiracy check was triggered, the floor hole in Cannon's Core? It also triggers on a GDEmu with a verified clean GDR image for similar reasons, it fails the memory integrity check.
This console does have a warning message when something happens at boot up. If you try to boot certain games when a VGA Box/Cable is plugged in, instead of the game, a message telling you that the game is not VGA compatible and that you have to turn off the console to change to the proper cable, will pop up. P.S.: You don't really have to turn off the console, just change de cable or move the switch on the box. and boot the game again. Also, when the DC has an error, it will either return to the menu or it will simply freeze.

The dreamcast was the last video game console manufactured by sega. It was launched in 1999 and in pal countries, the spiral had to change to blue because tivola was using an orange spiral as their logo before the dreamcast came out.
At 5:02 It is because of the Japanese MIL-CD disks. Which was just music. They found out a flaw in those discs that would allow the console to boot homebrew. This created the boot discs as someone mentioned. Eventually they discovered you could do this all on one disc. Almost any dreamcast can boot from burned discs. There are a few edge cases that cant like really late model NTSC consoles and a few special edition Japanese consoles.

Here's an idea on how to possibly get something weird to happen It's pretty clear the system has some sort of mechanism to verify if the disc lid has been closed. What would happen if you were to hold that down with a tooth pick or something, then quickly take out the game disc while it's running and insert a new disc?
1. As far as I'm aware, NTSC-U DCs are the only one with the number on the bottom. PAL and NTSC-J systems don't have it. 2. There are (2) systems that can play burned games. It just needs to be made before November 2000 (there ARE systems made during November that can play burned games, but it's a 50/50 chance they will.)
@@godofmediocrity7582 I'm glad to inform you that my PAL Dreamcast has a number. Same with any other PAL Dreamcast I've seen. I don't know about the NTSC J Dreamcasts though.
@@Pedro.Sanchez Alright, then that's my mistake. I knew that some reigons did not have the number, but I guess it's only Japan. Thank you for correcting me.
I noticed you asked about whether the Dreamcast has any sort of copy protection. The Dreamcast doesn't actually use CDs for games, but uses something called a GD ("Gigabyte Disc"). The GD is a custom derivative of the CD created specifically for the Sega Dreamcast and Sega Naomi (arcade hardware based on the Dreamcast) that allows for 1~GB instead of the usual 700~MB of a CD. Because it was a custom format specifically for a game console, GD-Rs were not released to the public, and were instead something a game developer had to get from Sega to test their game on. However, the Dreamcast *also* supports something called a MIL CD. This is a multimedia CD variant that was quite elaborate in concept, but none of the record labels were interested, so not much came of it. Which turned out to be a good thing, because this was simply a minor CD variant that was supposed to handle Dreamcast code. That means supporting this format allowed people to put Dreamcast games on a regular CD. If the game was too big for a CD, you could still try to fit the game on one by reducing the quality of any streamed movies or audio. The thing is, MIL CD support was only on early Dreamcasts. Later Dreamcasts removed support, and so you needed an actual GD to run games. I believe there are actually more of the earlier Dreamcasts out there, but don't quote me on that. As for how people got the data off the GD-ROMs themselves? Well, somehow the Dreamcast SDK got leaked, and from there people figured out how to turn the Dreamcast into a GD drive, much like how it's possible to get data off of a GameCube disc by using Wii homebrew. The data was in a standard ISO format, and from there it was fairly easy to figure out to get games to fit on CDs.
Sometimes when you put in an unrecognised disk and go to music it will read you out an error/warning message in about 5 different languages. It basically tells you the disk isn’t supported by the Dreamcast so get it out or the speaker might explode. I always liked the German one.
I bought a brand new Sega Dreamcast 22 years ago, and it still work fine. The quality of this console is awesome. The only error or common failure that u can see in some consoles, is a defective disc reader
There is one REALLY obscure error on this system. Some games are not compatible with the VGA box. If you would try and play a unsupported game with VGA in, it will tell you to swap your inputs. And this error is in the bios!
Anyone notice the Dreamcast and playstation similaritys: 1.the console is the same looking just with the sides cut of 2. The start up screens include an orange logo on a white background 3.they both have really small handhelds to go with them . Dreamcast = VMU PlayStation = PocketStation
imagine if you insert a blank cd disc into this console, it starts making a static glitch, console screeches VERY LOUD, and static on the screen moves.
Your Dreamcast was manufactured before October 2000, so it still has the MIL-CD functionality that left a security hole, which is allowing it to run burned discs.
7:32 Dreamcast can only play CD-ROMs and GD-ROMs, which is what dreamcast games are stored on. PS2 games are stored on DVD-ROMS, a format that the Dreamcast Optical Drive is not built to read. That is why its not booting into the game. Also Dreamcast does have copy protection but it was relatively primitive and easily worked around, like it was with the PS1 piracy protection.
@@TheDigiPunX the only cd rom games that can play on a PlayStation 2 are old PlayStation 1 disks that are backwards compatible. A traditional PS2 game is always on a DVD-ROM
The Dreamcast does have anti-piracy, if you grab an original game and put it on a CD the Dreamcast will not run it, what happens is that the games that are on the internet were patched, adding an extra step to trick the console
Oh man you have the rare blue dreamcast. Its only available in certain countries. Normal dreamcasts are orange. Its not matter to gameplay, but its rare to find. (I just typed it in 3:12 so he said)
The most common "glitch" that you can see on Dreamcast is the time and date reset when the internal battery is damaged, same as ps2, gamecube or og xbox, dreamcast request you for set it every time that you turn it on.
This man put a lot of effort on this video, he looks very happy too! He also open an entire box with 1 HAND that's impressive, And even he's editor or himself has a really good skill at talking in text! Stay safe, and have a great day
Regarding the copy protection thing - Dreamcast does have it. It's supposed to play GD-ROMs (giga disk read-only memory), which is the standard game format, supposed to hold a gigabyte of data instead of the normal 650MB, as well as MIL-CDs, a kind of multimedia CD. The MIL-CD could contain a Dreamcast executable file, but it had to be burned in a way that only Sega knew... until someone read the RAM of the Dreamcast while the executable was being read, and the executable burning way was the same for every game. Thus, people started converting GD-ROM games to MIL-CD games (chopping off a FMV sequence here and there), and they can be played on unmodified Dreamcast consoles! Here's a great video by the Modern Vintage Gamer that explains it in detail: ruclips.net/video/rj56VU_VmWg/видео.html
There are some error messages, listed in the manual. Here are the messages: No memory card found. Appears when the console doesn't detect a VMU. Unable to copy. The memory card you are trying to copy data to is corrupted or full. The memory card cannot be used until all files have been deleted. Corrupted memory card.

This game doesn't support the AV Cable currently connected to the main console. The AV Cable is not supported. Please insert game disc. You tried to start a game without a game inserted (You actually encountered this multiple times)

2. There are (2) systems that can play burned games. It just needs to be made before November 2000 (there ARE systems made during November that can play burned games, but it's a 50/50 chance they will.)
@@godofmediocrity7582 I'm glad to inform you that my PAL Dreamcast has a number. Same with any other PAL Dreamcast I've seen. I don't know about the NTSC J Dreamcasts though.
@@Pedro.Sanchez Alright, then that's my mistake. I knew that some reigons did not have the number, but I guess it's only Japan. Thank you for correcting me.
So THAT'S where the Dreamcast's budget went!

I noticed you asked about whether the Dreamcast has any sort of copy protection. The Dreamcast doesn't actually use CDs for games, but uses something called a GD ("Gigabyte Disc"). The GD is a custom derivative of the CD created specifically for the Sega Dreamcast and Sega Naomi (arcade hardware based on the Dreamcast) that allows for 1~GB instead of the usual 700~MB of a CD. Because it was a custom format specifically for a game console, GD-Rs were not released to the public, and were instead something a game developer had to get from Sega to test their game on.
However, the Dreamcast *also* supports something called a MIL CD. This is a multimedia CD variant that was quite elaborate in concept, but none of the record labels were interested, so not much came of it. Which turned out to be a good thing, because this was simply a minor CD variant that was supposed to handle Dreamcast code. That means supporting this format allowed people to put Dreamcast games on a regular CD. If the game was too big for a CD, you could still try to fit the game on one by reducing the quality of any streamed movies or audio.
The thing is, MIL CD support was only on early Dreamcasts. Later Dreamcasts removed support, and so you needed an actual GD to run games. I believe there are actually more of the earlier Dreamcasts out there, but don't quote me on that.
As for how people got the data off the GD-ROMs themselves? Well, somehow the Dreamcast SDK got leaked, and from there people figured out how to turn the Dreamcast into a GD drive, much like how it's possible to get data off of a GameCube disc by using Wii homebrew. The data was in a standard ISO format, and from there it was fairly easy to figure out to get games to fit on CDs.

@@Arkensius1157 Okay.
Sometimes when you put in an unrecognised disk and go to music it will read you out an error/warning message in about 5 different languages. It basically tells you the disk isn’t supported by the Dreamcast so get it out or the speaker might explode. I always liked the German one.
why do i wanna see the speakers explode on it 😭

I bought a brand new Sega Dreamcast 22 years ago, and it still work fine. The quality of this console is awesome. The only error or common failure that u can see in some consoles, is a defective disc reader
There is one REALLY obscure error on this system. Some games are not compatible with the VGA box. If you would try and play a unsupported game with VGA in, it will tell you to swap your inputs. And this error is in the bios!

Can you imagine what SEGA's console game would be like today if the Dreamcast did well?
... Oh I'd rather not... I just wish we could get back around to those days!!!
imagine if you insert a blank cd disc into this console, it starts making a static glitch, console screeches VERY LOUD, and static on the screen moves.

Dreamcast is just that great.
Your Dreamcast was manufactured before October 2000, so it still has the MIL-CD functionality that left a security hole, which is allowing it to run burned discs.
4:53 the logo is blue in Europe because a German company had an orange spiral in its logo so the made it blue in Europe

Dreamcast is king of all gaming RESPECT IT NOT SAY THE PS2 IS BETTER THAN IT
It still has some errors he just couldn’t find it
7:32 Dreamcast can only play CD-ROMs and GD-ROMs, which is what dreamcast games are stored on. PS2 games are stored on DVD-ROMS, a format that the Dreamcast Optical Drive is not built to read. That is why its not booting into the game.
Also Dreamcast does have copy protection but it was relatively primitive and easily worked around, like it was with the PS1 piracy protection.
Sega Red Panda silver PS2 discs are DVD-ROM the purple ones are CD-ROM
@@TheDigiPunX the only cd rom games that can play on a PlayStation 2 are old PlayStation 1 disks that are backwards compatible. A traditional PS2 game is always on a DVD-ROM
0:21 Master Hand HP: 300.
7:16 the console is old and it can only read CD discs, not DVD
Try inserting an unknown format CD
The Dreamcast does have anti-piracy, if you grab an original game and put it on a CD the Dreamcast will not run it, what happens is that the games that are on the internet were patched, adding an extra step to trick the console
I love the error videos on this channel.
7:39 Actually, Dreamcasts can play Audio CDs, so....there's that.
Doesn't play video CDs though unless it has that clunky addon. Sega Saturn is better !
We can place an uno card to put a dreamcast disc into a pc, it will give us an audio message.
Love the Dreamcast. If interested you can find so many good racing games, all worth checking out!
4:11 “27/11 1998” as the date. No way I’m watching this on the 26th anniversary of its preset time.
The image right at the end I thought it was dryed up SpongeBob for a second lol
Most people I know that owned a Dreamcast had used a burned copy at least once. I only know of a few people w/a Dreamcast.
9:28 I see something that may hurt my ears.
Oh man you have the rare blue dreamcast. Its only available in certain countries. Normal dreamcasts are orange. Its not matter to gameplay, but its rare to find. (I just typed it in 3:12 so he said)
Blue dreamcasts were common in Europe
4:00 is where it starts
The most common "glitch" that you can see on Dreamcast is the time and date reset when the internal battery is damaged, same as ps2, gamecube or og xbox, dreamcast request you for set it every time that you turn it on.
so just when the cmos dies?

Stay safe, and have a great day
At this point i really wonder why it failed as a console if it really had no errors
Regarding the copy protection thing -
Dreamcast does have it. It's supposed to play GD-ROMs (giga disk read-only memory), which is the standard game format, supposed to hold a gigabyte of data instead of the normal 650MB, as well as MIL-CDs, a kind of multimedia CD. The MIL-CD could contain a Dreamcast executable file, but it had to be burned in a way that only Sega knew... until someone read the RAM of the Dreamcast while the executable was being read, and the executable burning way was the same for every game. Thus, people started converting GD-ROM games to MIL-CD games (chopping off a FMV sequence here and there), and they can be played on unmodified Dreamcast consoles!
Here's a great video by the Modern Vintage Gamer that explains it in detail: ruclips.net/video/rj56VU_VmWg/видео.html
You forgot the error in which some Dreamcast games don't support VGA cable.
The Dreamcast was my first ever console and this brings back great memories
