With this mod done, DO NOT I repeat DO NOT erase you flash neither try dc loop checker... , or else you will get a bricked DREAMCAST, and it will become nothing more than a paper waste ( or broken mojo as blutenliese like to say ).
This mod enables you to write on the "forbidden" areas on the flash so when writing or erasing on it there are chances of breaking the dreamcast.
Latest version of regionchange is more or less safe but do not erase your flash or use dc loop checker with this mod ON, you have been warned.
Nice try you fool! lol BBQ!

i know he plans to use a TV but utopia has not VGA support and is less compatible that other boot discs. he has many choices that sure beat buying a NTSC Dreamcast.


btw jimmy is there some US game you want to play that is not out in pal land? i can think of 2 great games that pal has that we don't. Head Hunter and Shenmue 2.

the best bootdisk imo is the DC-X, it seems to support the most games & you'll only pay a few euros for it on ebay

Thanks, Dobbs.

We also have a guide on how use the Action Replay Demo Boot Up Disc. http://dreamcast-talk.com/actionreplay.php

I believe this is the best free boot disc out there.
