I did have a dreamcast for about two weeks which blew me away (soul calibur + doa owned my life at that point) and then I sold it. I still have a bunch of HK game cd's which wont play on a usa dreamcast :(

There are utilities that let you run pretty much any games on any Dreamcast.

Some could be bought and some are free like "Utopia".
If you find the latter on the web you can download and burn it onto a CD-R.

To play boot the Dreamcast with Utopia, set some options and then insert the
game GD-ROM to "boot" it.

You may have to experiment with different versions of Utopia (v1.1 and v1.2).

One caveat, though:
Sega at some point switched to GD-ROM drives that couldn't read CD-Rs anymore.

HTH,

take care,
