Best Dreamcast boot disc?

Post by samuraifez »

Hey guys, I'm interested in playing legit imports on my Dreamcast, but I'm a little lost on which boot disc to use, and more importantly, where to get it. I read about the Code Breaker, and it seems like a safe bet, but where can it be obtained?

If you have any suggestions, please share!

i have used my utopia boot and swore by it,the only problem i have had is booting sega rally 2 i have to use the code breaker to play it

ive read on here that dc-x is the best, but i have not seen it on ebay or amazon

I use utopia to boot all my imports. Only game that i found that wouldn't load up with utopia was shenmue pal, so I use my game shark with that.

Use a Utopia Disc if your Dreamcast can play CD-R's then boot your legit imports, if not there are a few DC bootdiscs like the DC-X which will work even on a Rev. 2 non CD-R system.

Yea I don't have any problem booting up shenmue 2, but the first won't work for me.

I use the DC-X and it's perfect! While it doesn't show up on VGA, you just listen for the disc to stop spinning and then make the swap.

Looks like DC-X would work best for me.

Now where the hell can I get it? :shock:

I know nothing of this site's cred, but a google search brought me to it:
