What I do need is for you to actually put your legit game in your dreamcast & see with your own eyes what happens. (and try it with a bootdisk first if nothing does :p).
I also have a few PAL games that need testing, but that are sealed and I don't want to open them at this moment so if someone could test em for me please.
obviously when I'm all done I'll share my info with you all

these are the US games I need tested (if they don't work from first try, do it again by shutting your dreamcast off, putting in a bootdisk first & then your game, also start a new game as some games boot to vga, play the intro, but then freeze up)
-Capcom Vs Snk *checked* vga comp
-Disney Dinosaur
-Heavy Metal Geomatrix*checked* vga comp
-KISS Psycho Circus
-NFL Blitz 2000 *checked* works with bootdisk
-Pen Pen
-Rippin'Riders *checked* vga comp
