    Default Utopia Boot Disc

    I've been trying to play a Dreamcast Import I picked up at the pawn shop for .80 cents and I have no clue what game it is.. I go to use my Utopia Boot disc to play it and it stops t like 96% loading and goes to a black screen..

    Can you scan the game? Maybe someone can ID it. I've heard that the Utopia doesn't work on some of the later DC releases and rereleases, but I've yet to have encountered it, as I only have a handful of DC imports.

    There are two versions of the utopia disc available... and a.f.a.i.k. by using both discs, you are able to play any game.

    It was Dynamite Deka 2 aka Dyanmite Cop in the Us... but I found the problem a tiny scratch on the disc or tough I think. I will try searching for the other boot disc and trying it

    Has anyone had an issue about not being able to use the analog pad when playing an import through the Utopia disc? I successfully got a few JP imports to work with my Utopia 1.1 disc, and not one of them responded to the analog pad.

    With the very tiny bit of Japanese I know, I even figured out that's it's not the case where the game didn't use the analog pad in the first place...

    While having no problem with playing "backups" with an Utopia boot disk (when needed), I could not getan original copy of Puzzle Bobble 4 (Japan) to finish booting up with either version of Utopia boot disk. I finally did get it to bootup using a gameshark.

    I am not sure if it is the particular game or the "version" of the dreamcast console I have. Don't give up on the game until you have tried a gameshark or similiar device.

    Go there... grab the files.. burn them (read the info how to).

    Pop that disc into your DC... then your import.

    Voila.

    The Utopia boot disc has given me no success (on either version).

    I have three NTSC-J games (Sega Rally 2, House of the Dead 2 and Sonic Adventure 2). Only SA2 works with it.

    On the other hand, I can play them no trouble with the Gameshark CDX Demo CD.

    My Utopia disc issues may only be PAL related though.

    Best bet is to burn the boot disc with the Alcohol 120% burning program.

    Proper torrent sites don't require payments, your finding bullshit rip off sites, I could be wrong but I don't think we can post torrent sites? Some proper googling though, believe me there are LOTS of sites that list torrent files that are FREE, but you need to do the searching/research don't expect people to just
    give you everything.........................
