does anyone notice the difference between a standard A/v Cable and a component?

i DO use backups of those 3 on my self boot backups as is though, and the cheats function (infinite health, unlock all etc...)

Unless your Dreamcast is chipped I can't think how you are managing this

The info I give is not made up but is through testing on my own Dreamcast that has no mod chip or other mods

This has also been verified via other members here when asking how to use cheats with backups after trying all 3 of the options you gave including the codebreaker though without the loader enabling backup cheating
