Dreamcast Vcds

[DipSet Taliban]

I know dreamcast can play vcds but can it play them without any special cds or anything(like straight out the box)

please help

nope. well, sort of. you either have to use a vcd boot disc, or burn the vcds so that they are self-booting. but the dreamcast won't just play them, without special vcd-playing software being loaded first.

i'd recommend going with the self-booting vcd method, because disc-swapping is pretty rough on top-loading systems (i.e. doesn't load the discs through a tray, but just has a lid covering the laser mechanism) like playstation one and dreamcast. it wears the machine out faster, so you should try to make the vcds self-boot instead of using a separate boot disc.
