    Haha I also had a giant binder full of pirated games. The other thing I remember about it was how loud it was reading the discs

      Didn’t the pirates find out that they could copy the games onto regular CDs using some backdoor from the format of Karaoke CDs? You just need that famous loader CD to swap discs.

      I’ve heard the pirates soon optimised the layout of the data on their versions so that there was less strain of the drive.

      We all had binders of pirated Dreamcast games…

      I think I’m starting to see why it died.
