Ah, no I didn't assume the GD-ROM would be disabled by any means. I'm just figuring that these are used Dreamcasts to start out with, so I wanted to know if anyone noticed any wear and tear on the optical drives. Slower performance, read errors, etc.
And sorry about the warez question, I thought it was an okay thing to ask because others were talking about it being able to play commercial games from the
SD slot. Of course, I own a TON of Dreamcast titles already, so I would mainly be using it as a portability feature. Nothing beats taking your DC to a friends house without having to bring a bunch of discs with you. Aaaand I'd much rather use it than my GD-ROM all the time. I went through 3 DCs already because they fail eventually like all other mechanical hardware.
So, really, my main question is - if anyone owns one of these things - how is the overall performance? A good breakdown would make it worth while. Even if the SD slot is more of a gimmick, I'd still like to buy one simply for the built in S-Video and VGA ports. I don't think I'll ever need to use the ethernet adapter ever again. All in all I'm buying one of these things, I just want someone to confirm the seller's reputation. I don't feel like sending $100.00 over a website I can't read. I did however research it more and found out about Yoybuy, so I will probably be using that to purchase it.
My only concern with purchasing it, if it is legit, is when I choose my color and everything if the seller will be able to read English.
