Hiya all,
I'm about to buy a DreamCast from eBay... but I'd just like to confirm/ask about some things.
Firstly, any DreamCast console can play burnt CD-Rs made from CDI images, right? Do we need special software for the DreamCast to boot this CD or do you just throw it in?
Are CD-RWs supported (I guess most likely not)?
If I wanted to develop homebrew I could download an SDK from the net right? But would I need a dev DreamCast or just a standard console?
That's all for now I'd be grateful for any kind of response :D (well other than a response of something like "AHHHH NOOOOOOB!!":p )

EDIT: Another short question, you know how the DreamCast can connect to Dialup internet, can you somehow connect it to a PC with some form of software to play games like QuakeIII online? (I have no idea what ports DreamCast has on it as you can tell xD!)
