Japanese Store: "Even Shoplifting Dreamcasts Is A Crime"

Nope. They do run homebrew.

Really? I heard the refurb DCs had the updated bios (no homebrew/hacks.) Or maybe it's because the DCs were refurbished by the store, and they probably don't have the tools to update the bios.

The Dreamcast models whcih don't run homebrew were released on America (it says 2 under the console) and the japanese Sakura Wars model

not quite. the whole motherboard design for these dreamcasts is different, it's not just an updated bios. in these newer dreamcasts, the gd-rom controller is entirely integrated into the motherboard (so the entire thing is basically one board + the power supply + the controller interface board)
