Utopia bootdisk

utopia

This was first used to boot games, nowadays every game is released as a selfboot title so no need for it anymore. Just wanted to make a post about it for a bit of nostalgia.

|  though noone really expected it, we made your dreams come true:         |
|  Dreamcast BootCD V1.1 - boot copies and imports on a NON-chipped (!)    |
|  standard consumer model.                                                |
|                                                                          |
|  Usage:                                                                  |
|                                                                          |
|  - switch off, insert BootCD into Dreamcast and switch on again          |
|  - Wait until the Utopia introscreen comes up, then open door and insert |
|    either Import-GD or copied CD. Close door again.                      |
|  - Wait until spinning disc comes up; game will be loaded automatically  |
|                                                                          |
|  Important:                                                              |
|                                                                          |
|  - do ONLY (!) use DiscJuggler to burn this image (standard blank)       |
|  - do ONLY (!) use DiscJuggler to copy this CD                           |
|                                                                          |
|  Sorry for any inconviniences, but standard CDRWIN is not really capable |
|  neither creating nor imaging the CD.                                    |
|                                                                          |

History of the Sega Dreamcast

Dreamcast

Launched in September 1999 in the US and October 1999 in Europe.

Used a special type of discs called GD-ROM discs.

Great set of launch titles: Soul Calibur, Sonic Adventure, Power Stone, The House of the Dead 2.

Sega continued to bring out great games like Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio and Shenmue.

Third party developers created games like Quake 3 Arena, Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Resident Evil.

EA games were never released games for the Dreamcast, many Fifa fans bought a PS2.

Eventually the PS2 was more popular because it supported DVD movies and Sega stopped selling the Dreamcast. 10.6 million units were sold worldwide.

Welcome

Finally, after so many years I got this domain back where it belongs.

The goal is to keep the Dreamcast alive and write some blogs about the past and also the future of the Dreamcast.

I hope you enjoy reading and when you want to know more about something Dreamcast related, just ask: info@dcroms.com
