JVC x'eye purcahse
I believe that the x'eye will play cd-r's. After all its just a sega cd and the sega cd, and every incarnation of the sega cd had no copy protection. Best bet to play imports on it is to copy the import cd, change the country code and rerip it. I dont know if the internals are the same, also I doubt that the bios will be the same in that system.
