As BBB mentioned, yes it can Unless your DC is modded for something else

Modded for something else means modded to play backup games, I presume. I'm slightly confused.....because, if a DC is modded to play backup games, can it play original games from other regions also?

You don't need to mod to play back ups, just depending on the DC's version but I don't know how to differentiate them. I use boot disc for imports, which also require DC's that can play back ups.

Ok, I finally get it now. Are the boot discs difficult to get?

Yeah, very hard to find now. I got mine from lik-sang.com. Otherwise you can burn your own boot disc.. Utopia or something. But make sure you only use Utopia on NTSC console, never on PAL because it will display inceorrectly if you do.

Ok, thanks bro. Everything noted.

what game do yo intend to play on ur DC Shenmue?

I have not purchased a DC yet. Will try to get by the end of this month, hopefully. I'm thinking of buying and collecting NTSC/UC games for it. As an American DC is quite hard to find locally, that's why I was wondering whether Japanese ones are able to play those NTSC/UC games. Honestly, I didn't know that Dreamcasts are not needed to be modded to play backups. I learned something today.

US DC are much cheaper compare to JP.. not that JP DC are expensive but still

But, they are hard to find locally right, bro?

Anyone heard of a game name SEGA GAGA? DreamCast game.
Interesting story.

Yeah, but it's JP only

its something to do with the bios/os which was hardwired into the machine . seems there was a software loophole etc which allowed the cd-r to be run

well, you can find it on the net .

always wabted to play shenmue on the DC and also Spawn

DC is not that expensive nowadays.
What i really wanna play is the Shenmue development disc on Sega Saturn.

Why try so hard to play a demo disc NGCDZ?

Sega saturn can play shenmue huh?

Old is gold, my 1st ever console is Atari with pre installed 8games maybe.
At the generation it seems a good hobby. It was borrow & never return.
I have to save angpow money just to get this.

Then comes Mirco Genious, my fav game Ninja Gaiden/Ninja Ryūkenden. Cuba wars, slamander, many good games & forgot titles. Again console were borrow & never return.

Never owned the Nitendo, as it was too expansive that time, but still like the Ikari that is stuck in my mind.

Sega Megadrive, just for mortal kombat, sonic, landstalker , sinobi & many more. Console still have but never touch for long.

N64, golden eye, & some CD's invented by HK fellers using CD that recorded a few games inside. about 30games per cd.
It's called the Doctor V in order to activate you need a original game & load the CD. Still have & this is a great invention.

PS/PS2 - my payback era started when i join Sony Malaysia as a PS promoter in 1996/97. good contacts good game good life.

planning to get PSP to load classic such as Contra, Ninja Gaiden & many can't recall title (now is 7am lah)

dunno if you ever heard a game called Body Hazard ?
i never forget this game, it quite sick & weird. Go & get it. then you know..

Arcade era grow in late 80's - Street fighter 1 (reversal play) Golden Axe 1, & gemini wings, double dragon - abobo...
midway 1942,1945,1945x. fuu..
