Introduction to Dreamcast Modding (Utopia 1.5 Boot Disc, Self-Bootable Games, No BS Tutorial)

Update on 10-2-11: Per youtube user sonicfanatic4949, he has a unit made from 2001 and it worked fine for playing backups! If yours doesn't work and its made in 2001, let him know!

Note: It is possible October 2000 units may work. Just try it!

Have a dreamcast manufactured before October of 2000? Great! This tutorial is for you! Learn how to exploit your console and play those cherished backed up Dreamcast games.

Note: Euro Dreamcast systems do not have the piracy blocker on it, so you are good to go!

Im using a CD-R, but it has a black bottom and not silver, it says the file is burned on it, but I used windows burner to do it, it still appears in the audio file thing, it also says that my dreamcast was manufactured MAY 2000, anything you suggest?

[gamedexterity]

@erflesmcbride Use the boot disc then.

Thumbs up if you want dreamcast 2

[gamedexterity]

@leetheknigt1 Use a CD-r, not CD-RW.

@426gabe It should, as many of them are NTSC and I am NTSC. If you are PAL....then good luck.

@gamedexterity Can it work for japan games?

And as I got the original game already, thought there maybe a chance of getting it to work. Btw, I also got the shenmue 1 but that works perfectly because it is NTSC format.

Mi e was 2000

@TheFran19869 Hmm, what year was your dreamcast manufactured in? Maybe easier to go download NTSC-U version of shenmue 2.

Hi, I got a dreamcast NTSC-U and want to play my original shenmue 2 (PAL) what should I do? Thanks
