After I got the vga box, I never went back to the tv, so I lost a couple of games to play, ones that aren't selfboot. Because Utopia 1.1 doesn't work with vga box. WHich one should I use? Other utopias or another brand? Thanks for your help! P.S. There are versions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.5 of utopias. WHy so many, what are the differences?
All dreamcast games boot up just fine without a problem. As long as they are real! Your heading for a nice flame soon!
This is really the wrong board for such questions or do you see people posting their CDR/DVDR collections in the Collections section? ;-)
Well I can't realy answer the original question, but I think that it was a bit mean spirited of you guys to assume that he was a cheat. I think that his problem is that he does not have a modded DC and he wants to play imports so he uses the Utopia disc. BUT the utopia disc is not compatible with the VGA box and it will not display. SO he needs to know which boot disc is VGA box compatible.
. i think unofficial v1.2 is VGA compatible from what I heard. of course don't take my word for it and do more research on the subject. personally i never used Utopia as my DC runs just about all titles except few PAL ones wihch I run on PAL DC. cheers
ServiceGames, it would have been mean-spirited if all hokman had been wanting to do on his VGA adaptor was play imports, however, there was no mention at first of import games, it was: As far as most of us know, all original games are designed to be selfboot. The subject of playing imports only came up after Antipasta, Paulo, and a few others made comments on the nature of the question.
I understood what he meant when I first read his post but I did not reply because I cannot answer his question. his wording was poor at first but I think that if anyone here would have payed attention they would have understood what he was trying to say. Anyway, no hard feelings I am just trying to stick up for him a little.
I owe u service games! Thank you, servicegames. I luv U! U are the only one who understands me. Ok back to topic. I'm sorry i seemed to be a nuisance to all of you, now I'm very very sorry. I want you to change the perception of me please. I really don't want to get ignored here, this is the only place I talk on the web. I know my english isn't very good, so sometimes people will get confused. But u must understand that i'm a big fan of dreamcast, so I should belong here. And it's not like I always ask and doesn't contribute anything. From now on, i'll try to be useful here. :smt024 SO... u said 1.2... how about 1.3 and 1.5? Or gameshark? cdx... Thanks a lot.
Did you not notice his last post was about downloading taxi or whatever it was...? Thats why we all assume he is a cheat...
Buy the DC-X bootdisk. It plays almost everything, and supports the VGA box great. I bought mine for a fiver locally - bargain. The DC-X is different to the Gameshark CDX which isn't as good.
Sorry about the avatar. I'll remove it until I can find a smaller one. :smt022 EDIT: Let me know what you think of the new one.
Yeah, the avatar seems good to me, I can even look at it at work. ^_^ Not to go too off topic, but I'm curious to hear more of people's opinions of illegitimate games on this forum. I have extensive collections of both legit games and non legit games. I am currently over half way on a complete (legitimate) USA DC collection which I am very proud of. I'm not asking anyone to endorse illegitamate games, but I'm just wondering about opinions on the legitimacy of a couple of things. One, used games. The original creators make no money on a used game, the only person that makes money on a used game is whoever is selling it (note, this is a person who did not make the game or has any claim to it aside from the fact that they are a retailer and purchased it for a small amout from someone else). Who is more illegitemate, someone making money off of used original games, or someone getting an illegitemate copy for free? Also importing. As far as I know, companies put those region codes on games for a reason. I know that game importing is big, and it happens, but it obviously goes agains the original publishers intent, which is that the game is sold and played only in the region it was originally intended. Again I am curious about who is more illegitemate, those who leech original merchandise out of the market it was intended for, or those who get an illegitimate copy for free, in a country that is outside of the one that the original was released in. I am guilty of both importing software/hardware and buying used games, as I think most people on this board are. I'm just curious what people think about the legitimacy of these things esp in comparison to other "less legitimate" gaming practices.
