Does anyone know if there is an app or disc that outputs the system information of the Dreamcast ?
Like Bios version, hardware revision etc, meaning all relevant flash ROM information ?

Re: Dreamcast System / FlashROM information disc ?
I don't know about the BIOS ROM, but for the flash, I wrote something that shows its contents (manufacture records, region settings, play records) a while ago. I uploaded the source here. I could compile it into a 1ST_READ.BIN if you need me to. I think the most recent version of the 240p Test Suite now displays some of that information as well (just the manufacture data?).

Many thanks both of you. The 240p Test Suite was exactly what I was looking for. It even calculates the checksum of the bios and tells if its an original or region free. Pretty neat stuff
