Bit i love from the above is
But somehow, some smartass figured out the scrambling algorithm Course the give no detail how they did it lol..
lmao
smartasses released a bunch of boot disk only games first..
btw
DemuMenu (DC Demoloader)
Released: 07-Feb-2001
it can boot non scrambled and scrambled bins.. source is there to show you how and also unlock and lock the gdrom ..

Dear friends,
As a dreamcast gamer, how many times have you thought
that you have scratched that original game that you
have, when you accidentally hit on the console or
something like that..
What we offer is backup CD for your originals, so that
you can play with the backups, and thus safeguard
your gaming investments....
Our prices are just 7.50 per CD backup games.
once you have bought 10 games from us, you then only
pay 5.00 per CD backup game!!!
There is however a fixed shipping charge of 5.00 for
the first 10 games, and 2.50 per additional 5 games.

WinCE DevKit Posted by CyRUS64 @ 0:31
Although we don't believe in "warez", it is worth mentioning that the WinCE Devkit 2.1 has been leaked. We will NOT provide you with links to download this, but it could become an extremely important part of the dc development scene.
Various people (we might be aswell, but i dont mean us!) will soon undoubtedly be working on emulators ports. Mame for DC is obviously one of the most hotly anticipated - imagine being able to insert a cdr with mame and lots of roms on it, and being able to play the old arcade classics sitting in front of your tv...
So there is the first public i know of person saying wince dev kit was leaked..
Keep in mind the Dreamcast was not dead yet not until March 31, 2001
