So I have a few dreamcast games that are pretty scratched up and no dreamcast.
My question is does the dreamcast natively play backups? I'm looking for a New
Dreamcast.

The Dreamcast can not play backups "natively" pursay, but crackers have pretty much made any ISO you find of a Dreamcast game self-booting.

And if your looking for a "New" Dreamcast I have a spare. It is used but it still works. Let me know if your interested.

dreamcast made before a certain date will play back ups if burnt correctly and possible patched i forget been a while since i did it but i do have a working silent scope at home that is a back up plays like a normal game.

You can burn a magic ISO that will boot to any format (PAL,NTSC) and then you can hot swap. But like others have said the whole set is on a certain archive. I have over 250 so its only the matter of finding the game on ISO and burning them.

I hear you, bro. "Walla" drive me nuts. It's "Voilà", people.

Is that related to:
"toshay" as opposed to touché

At least nobody is saying that they "could care less" about it.

Never seen that one, but it deserves a punch if used.

"world wind effect" vs. whirlwind effect. This one drives me nuts. People need to read more books.

"for sell"

"for all intensive purposes"

"mute point"

Pass mustard.

Nip it in the butt

when the E and L is mixed up like "tackel" or "Waffel"

Or when effect and affect is mixed up.

On topic, I burn ISO to disk for my DC. Get the right ones,and there is virtually no difference in how it boots up compared to an original. I don't mind buying originals, but some games are really prone to playing up if scratched. I've never had luck with Crazy Taxi originals for instance. One little scratch and it's useless. Yet some game I had (came with the system) has been used like a coaster and scratched to hell. That crappy game works perfectly!
