Yea on the basis of Dreamcast. Find some other games though. Sonic Adventure, Project Justice, Skies of Arcadia, Power Stone, Shenmue, House of the Dead 2, Jet Grind Radio. Those are a good start

Emulate the PSX and buy the dreamcast, believe me. With an Emulator you can make PSX games look even better than they would normally.

Especially since you can burn games.

I didn't get it from you, merely implying that SoA doesn't work on regular 80min/700mb CD-R's. As >>393283 points out, SoA does work on regular CD-R's. I guess I've either botched up the burn job in DiscJuggler, or I've got a bad release.

For some reason I recall it not working when I used DiscJuggler to put it on 80min CD's, but it did work when I used Alcohol 120%, even though as far as I knew I used identical settings on both. There were a couple other games that worked when I made them with A120% that didn't work when I made them with DJ as well.

Of course, people have pointed out on /vr/ that I seem to have an oddball dreamcast because I can play imports without any mods or a boot disc, so YMMV

Check out several auction sites.
See if there's any actual auctions that have sold and not just fixed-price stores.
There's your average.
Dreamcast for instance has stores asking for $40 and $60 but sells fairly often for much cheaper.
