Playing Non-selfboot Dreamcast CD-Rs on an HKT-01

There's now a method of running Dreamcast CD-Rs on an HKT-01 Sega Dreamcast Development Box. By using DC-Load-Serial, it is possible to upload the 1ST_READ.BIN file of the Utopia Boot CD, booting the game disc. This method currently works only on non-selfboot CD-Rs.
