ps: I`d like to thank Megalexxx fot his Gauntlet Legends Fix.

Its an AWESOME version of utopia, i got it yesterday, and was going to link it here, but u were faster :)

Ive been looking 4 something like that 4ever!

[Megalexxx]

I wonder if it could be possible to create selfboot games using these 60Hz files linking original games files, without swapping disks...

[jeffma68]

you can boot the game to 60HZ with GameShark/ActionReplay CDX

[Megalexxx]

Without swapping disks ???

[diz.mx]

I can't check it right now. Does it boot Halflife, Ooga Booga or NBA2K2 to 60Hz?

[roBx^]

Then tell me, why doesn't my gameshark boot ANY usually 50hz game 60hz? btw i live in EU and have a PAL DC.

[roBx^]

I tried it on halflife using xeal.cjb.net's tutorial on making a game non boot again. Well the game still boots 50hz using the boot cd.

however, although the game boots fine i get a kind of runtime error when i press start at the title screen.. i don't know if its cuz of the hex editing ( i changed 2x 5C2E strings into 2x A600 strings) since LBA was 11702 so i don't think i did anything wrong... + it boots fine and doesnt go back to the DC bios screen as it should be with wrong editing (so its stated). Well anyone else may try it or try VC2 which i also was plannin to retool to non boot again... My CD's ran out :D

I was thinking the same, man.

That utopia 60hz doesnt boot selfboot games, the only game i found it useful for is Grandia 2 (original and PAL), its not the panacea i thought it was.
I wanted it to boot some originals, my results:

Grandia 2, boots @ 60hz :)
Skies of Arcadia, boots @ 50hz :(
Residen Evil CV, boots @ 50hz (well at least this one has a nice overscan)
Deadly Skies, boots @ 50hz
Sega Rally 2, boots @ 50hz (damn winCE games grrr)




I can't check it right now. Does it boot Halflife, Ooga Booga or NBA2K2 to 60Hz?

Well i dont really care about Ooga Booga cause i dont have it, but Half Life is WinCE, so forget its 60 for now.
About NBA2k2, i guess u mean the US version because the PAL one has a selector. U can boot it @60 with action replay.

WinCE games, whats the problem......I know they can be unprotected, and i have a couple of hints:

-The fact that someone found the 60hz string for Sega Rally 2, it was one of the releasers of the game.

-Resident Evil 2: the PAL version has an awesome 50/60 selector.

OK laters :)

[jeffma68]

i dont know

i mean if your DC is US/JP(mine is JP HKT3010)
you can boot EUR games with Gameshark
(both original and backup)

AFAIR I already tried that (I mean boot NBA2K2 with AR) but I will try again as soon as I grab some cd-r's. And one question, you'r talking about doing this on PAL dreamcast, do you?
PAL NBA2K2, it seems that backup version was not released. I know that it's a great game and worth buying but it's hard to get right now.

About Half Life, it runs at 60Hz on US dreamcast, does it? I think it has no other choice. So making boot CD which would boot it at 60Hz on PAL dc should be posibble.
DC-X is a perfect boot disc, that's a pity that it boots only originals.

And UTOPIA, someone should modify it so it would boot selfbooted games. GameShark, DC-X, AR are are able to do it so why Utopia can't?

[terminator]

i think resident evil 2 (KAL-RE2A/B)

is the key
to boot wince games in 60 hz.

it has a selector for five different 50Hz pal
modes and 60 hz.

Why do i got NBA 2k2 pal iso w 50 60hz then? I believe the file was called e-nba2k2-ntsc or something. I downloaded it from an ftp last summer. So it was either released by just an unknown dude or it was released by echelon altho i must admit i cant find the nfo on isonews.

[xenon2k]

What I don`t understand is that nobody managed (or could be bothered) dumping the DC-X bootdisk.
It may have strong security routines.

[CroCop]

it is ripped, by Genious(sp?), kind of hard to find though.
"gen-dc-x"

[Enuff]

Its a normal cdr, and the protection looks like the one at bleemcast, and im geting it very soon. This is the nfo:

DC-X to play Import* games

1) Switch off you DreamcastTM Console.
2) Insert the DC-X CD.
3) Switch on your DreamcastTM. After a few seconds you will
see the DC-X logo with the "Remove Disc" screen.
4) Remove the DC-X CD.
5) Insert the import game you wish to play and close the
CD cover.
6) The game will now run. If it does not then
you will need to see the Special Cases below.

Special Otions screen:

Selected game titles will not run using the above steps.
If the game does not run;

1. Repeat steps 1 to 4
2. Before inserting the Game CD, press any button
on your controller.
3. Insert your game CD you wish to play and close the
CD Cover - the Special Options screen will appear.

Cable Type:

VGA adaptor/RGB scart/AV Mono.
It is not important that you do not have the cable
speciefied - this is only to"switch" the console to the mode
the game needs to play in.

TV Mode:

NTSC/PAL.

*Note: The term Import Game refers to using a game not
originally designed for play on your console - i.e.
Japanese and American games on a Pal European Console,
European Games on a Japanese or American Console etc.

* SO THIZ RELEASE WILL NOT WORK WITH YOUR COPIED STUFF!!!

It is hard to find, but why the hell is it so big? 32 x 20MB

I have the original and it doesnt work with backups indeed. Its a black CD/GD (similar to a playstation 1 disc). But maybe if some1 can inject its 60hz code into an utopia bootdisc or in a game it would be very cool as this DC-X boots EVERYTHING that works 60hz including WinCE games.

[108dragon]

With the DC-X, on a PAL DC, do games boot up with the orange DC logo NTSC boot start up (like action replay in ntsc mode) when selecting 60Hz mode or is still blue(normal)?

Games running 60Hz normally on a PAL DC output PAL60 (I think).
Action Replay in 60hz (when it works) outputs NTSC. On my TV PAL60 form the DC has a funny colour shimmering/pulsing effect that can get irritating after time. With AR in NTSC mode, games that normally out 60hz anyway doesn't have the shimmering any more.

So I hope it output NTSC and not just PAL60.

Why is the rip so big!!!

[roBx^]

Well when u press a button right after putting the game in during the blue screen (yea this menu isnt listed or anything) u get a screen where u can choose VGA, TV out or scart mode along with a PAL and NTSC mode... no pal 60 listed here. I never have problems using either pal 60 or plain ntsc they feel 100% identical to me. The DC-X itself boots up w a blue logo.

btw my GS doesnt have a switch and boots 50hz (and a funky red logo).. its usa ver. However it was 10 euro.. thats not expensive for a memorycard + cheat features :D

[108dragon]

Thanks for the info.

I'd imagine for most people PAL60 and NTSC output would be identical, but my TV is a bit old and thats how it (and I've read other people's also ) handles PAL60.

God only knows :confused:

The one i got = FAKE (grrrrr) so im looking 4 it harder than ever. If u have any clues about where i could find the release PLZ contact me.

Of course i will do the same 4 anybody interested.

[108dragon]

I'm also looking for it. A bitch to find.

Was the fake you got 32x20MB?


- 108dragon

[roBx^]

i don't know why its so big... maybe the fact that its a black GD (i think it is as pc cant read it) has something to do with it The cd only has 1 or 2 screens. when its inserted it makes a bit noise (it spins v fast) for 2 seconds and then stops loading to show a image that u can put the game in.

[MTC]

Does anyone knows if Marvel VS Capcom 2 boots at 60Hz with this Bootdisc?

[HANS_COBBO]

Yes, i have the JAP original version of the game and a original DC-X boot disc. Boots up in full Screen, full Speed on my PAL DC.

[Enuff]

Was the fake you got 32x20MB?

Nah, if only.........it was a crappy cdi :(

[Enuff]

Long time no see eh?

OK i finally got my hands on the infamous dc-x release; one of the rars seems to be corrupt, but im getting a good one soon.

Anybody still interested on it? Want me to try it with any game?

[toongaz]

where can i download it? thanks

[belokk]
