I used to play PSO V2 regularly until my game broke, and while considering returning to the game I am considering downgrading to V1 to save money and because it’s more common on eBay than the upgraded version I still have.

I think my V2 disc is too broken to work because when I played it often, the game would crash and freeze and disconnect often and the gimmick is the extra content I used to play although everyone seems to play V2 more because of it.

I don’t know if V1 is worse than V2 and I have to save my money by not splurging on another copy of V2 nor if playing V1 will work completely fine.

Thoughts?

You can run burned games in the dreamcast. No need for a mod. If you decide to get a new copy, you don’t have to use the original. Just make a copy.

True, but that depends on the Dreamcast model.

I think not all Dreamcasts read all the discs.

It depends on the motherboard revision.

Assuming that you are using an NTSC console, check the label for the number next to where it says “NTSC” if it’s a 0 or 1, then it can definitely play them. If it’s a 2, then it depends how early it was released. The very first run of them still could, but later revisions couldn’t.

Cool. Didn’t know that. Never owned a dreamcast, so I’m going on information from others.
