You’ve Had The Ability To Play Burned PS1 Discs This Whole Time
One of the reasons often cited for the Dreamcast closing up shop after just 2 1/2 years of service is that Sega accidentally made it super-easy to pirate games on the system. While most other disc-based consoles had an anti-piracy detector that could tell if one was playing a burned CD-R off the computer, the Dreamcast could not tell the difference. Bad for Sega, lucky for the kids who couldn’t afford all the games. If you had a Playstation, you couldn’t do this.
