hi,
i bought a Dc yesterday , iam based in the uk and the console is of PAL format,
please excuse lack of knowledge here but im a noob with dreamcasts as ive only owned Ps2 and xbox before.
question= i noticed in the faq something about gameshark for imports , is this the best thing for me to use or should i try to get my console chipped for playing imported games.
also, you can use the utopia disc.
how much does the utopia disk cost?
or is it a freeware thing,
any links available
The utopia boot disk is considered illegal since it allows the use of pirated games in addition to imported games. If you email me I'll send you a link to it.
Action Replay CDX Demo ( legal, and much better than utopia)

If you want to lose the black borders, you might want to consider a import boot disc like DC-X (which is different to the CD-X mentioned above).
If you feel like purchasing one, they have it at:

There's also a range of import titles. Other suitable places for imports are www.yesasia.com/? and www.play-asia.com
Please be aware of packaging costs/import tax if you purchase from these stores abroad though. As you are likely to have to pay import duty and then a possibly higher fee for handling, especially if it goes through Parcel Force. I found using DHL worked out cheaper.
Incidently, how is the CD-X demo legal when it appeared on a magazine cover disc?
the best thing is to get the mod chip, then you dont need to swap disks.
Just pm christopherlooser. He might know the best out of all of us. But i still agree with bertrude
If you want something legal check out the Import Enabler.
