ok...
i'm going to buy a dreamcast soon (it's easily my favorite console) and i want to play older games (nes, snes, genesis, etc.) as well as dreamcast games.
i have a few questions that i would like to clear up before i jump on ebay and order one:
1)does emulation work on all dreamcasts, or just the first generation of the console?
2)i'm don't think there is, but i need to know for sure: is there any danger of damaging my dreamcast by playing emulated games on it?
3) are there any region specific constraints to emulation? (i live in the u.s.)
4)once i have a copy of an emulator designed to run on dreamcast, will just any roms work? (meaning, if i get an snes emulator will any snes roms work, or do i need to download special roms as well?)
5)how exactly do i play emulated games on my dreamcast? do i burn the emulator and roms on the same disc? do i burn the emulator and roms on separate discs and change out the discs at some point? do i do something else entirely?
any info would be great. thanks.
