Hi everyone i have looked every where and i cannot find any answers. I bought a japanese dreamcast just after they were released and it melted something in it around 2 years ago, so we went out and bought an australian one. Now the problem is i have 8 japanese games that dont work on it. Can someone please tell me what i can do to get it to play them. I thought you can get like a boot disk to play them but i cant find that anywhere. Any help would be much appreciated..
Yes you do need a boot disc, I think this site no longers hosts it as its now considered warez, but you need the utopia boot disc. I can't give a link as that is breaking the rules but you should be able to find it fairly easily
Utopia works on most imports, but for the rest Action Replay should work. Both can be easily located on a search engine. Still, one of the commercial discs would probably work more reliably.

thanks for the suggestions. I will look at both the options shown to me. But is there a free boot disc that will work as i do still have both dreamcast machines i am not pirating or doing anything wrong. I would still use the japanese one but something melted inside it.
