IMPORT BOOT DISC 1.This is the “easiest” way to boot import discs and there are several options. You can either purchase an Import Boot Disc like the DC-X, Gameshark, Xploder, Action Replay CDX, etc. This method requires very little work, but you will have to swap discs every time you want to play an import. This can become annoying if you play a lot of imports. If you cannot obtain a retail import boot disc, you can always burn yourself a copy of the Action Replay CDX Demo Version. It’s a legal demo version of the full release, but still allows you to easily boot imports. Most will probably use this method, so we used it for our guide. Using Alcohol 120% in windows, select your image to burn to your CD-R (not CD-RW!), then set the speed to the lowest. Pop in that CD-R and hit “START GAME” BIOS REGION CHANGER DISC 2.While using a boot disc is simple enough, it can become annoying to have to swap out a disc every time you want to play your import games. Thankfully our Russian friends have come up with a Bios Region Changer disc. This allows you to change the region of your Dreamcast. Say you own a large collection of Japanese games but only an NTSC-U console, you can use this mod + disc to change your Dreamcast’s region to NTSC-J. That way it will always boot up your Japanese titles without needed a boot disc. The downside is that it requires a bit of soldering after taking about the Dreamcast, and you’ll only be able to play games from the region you’ve set your DC to unless you use the disc to change the region once more. First step is to take apart your Dreamcast, and pull out that motherboard. Flip it over, and look for two connections. One is +12v, and the other is labeled R512. Solder these two points together with some wire, and you can now use the Region Changer disc to switch the region of your Dreamcast! You can download the cdi from mmmonkey site for now. REGION FREE MODCHIP 3. Our final option is the most elegant solution. It enables you to simply drop in a game from ANY region, and have it boot. No fiddling with boot discs, or making sure you have the right region set. Just drop it in a go. There is of course a cost to all this. Installing the modchip requires more precise soldering than the Region Changer mod, and Dreamcast modchips are hard to find these days. If you ask around the various Dreamcast related forums like dcemulation.org or the dreamcast dev section of assembler games you should be able to find one with some luck. Note that this modchip is meant to make your Dreamcast region free and is not used for booting backups. Edited by MrTechnoSqueek, Jul 7 2012, 05:03 AM.

If you like RPGs then Skies Of Arcadia and Grandia 2. Powerstone 1 and 2 are also a blast multiplayer and then there's also Shenmue 1 and 2 which are also masterpieces. Personally I would throw Garou: Mark Of The Wolves in there aswell if you like 2D fighters you can't do any better than it (even if the dreamcast controller isn't ideal) |
