Well, I've actually ordered a gameshark cdx, but now I'm wondering if it will work. So far I've tried the bleempack and utopia with no success. Bleem brings up the "Play/insert game disc" messages, and Utopia automatically brings up the music cd player, so I'm guessing I have a constipated Dreamcast after all.
Unless I've missed something here, there more than likely won't be any boot disc that will work, so I guess I'm looking at a mod chip as my last resort. Of course I guess I may have burned the wrong type of session on the utopia disk. Who knows, I'll wait for the cdx before I decide what I have to do.
Anyone else out there in the same situation as me?
