DC-X is just a disc that lets you play imports on your Dreamcast. It gets around the country protection. There are other ways of doing it though.
The more difficult, is putting in a mod-chip. There's really no reason to do this because you can also use the Utopia boot-disc found many places on the web.
You can search on this site, (megagames) to find the boot disc. It will boot a disc from any country as well as backups.
The Action Replay is just another form of the GameShark. I've heard people say it boots backups, but I have never gotten it to work. It may boot GDROMs from other countries, but I've never tried that.
Another option is to use Codebreaker. It is a cheat-code disc like the Gameshark, but only works with GDROMs. It will boot games from other countries, but not backups. It works better for booting imports than the Utopia boot disc, because sometimes the Utopia disc won't boot a disc with VGA even though it is VGA compatible. (I'm speaking of the patched v1.1 and 1.2).
An example of this is the Dreameye software. If I want to use Dreameye on my TV, I just use the Utopia boot disc. If I want to use it on my VGA monitor, I have to use the Codebreaker.
Booting a disc with the Utopia Boot disc is probably your best option. It's free and easy. If you do this you should be ok with PAL, NTSC, and Asian games.
