Where can I get a boot disk for my Dreamcast from because I really want to play Shenmue 2 but I don't want to have to go through all of the trouble of a mod chip. So, someone please help me.
Ok, I'm not really supposed to say this, but here goes nothing. You can download a boot disc from various internet sites as a DiscJuggler image file.
Programmes Needed

Discjuggler
Boot Disc file
Method
------------
1. Download DiscJuggler from an internet site (the trial version, which burns at X2 speed) and install it.
2. Download the Boot Disc image and open up DiscJuggler. Go to "Open" and open the Boot Disc image into DiscJuggler. Insert a blank CD into your CD-Rewriter drive.
3. The rest is rather straight foward. I don't have DiscJuggler installed, so I can't remember, but just follow the menus and you can't go wrong.
4. When the Boot Disc has burnt to the blank CD, eject it and put it into your Dreamcast. It may take 30-40 seconds to load, depending on who programmed it, but a logo should appear, reading "Utopia" or something similar, depending on which Boot Disc it is. Either way, there should be something displayed after the "Sega" logo disappears. Then, take out the Boot Disc (without turning off the Dreamcast) and insert your copied game. After 10-20 seconds, it should load and you will be able to play the game at your leisure.
I am only helping you as this is legal. However, this is only legal if the copy is destroyed after 24 hours of receiving it. It's up to you what you do with it, but I would suggest that you eventually go out and buy it.
