Does Utopia work on Chankast? and if doesn't,will it ever work on it?

No it doesn't work. It has been stated quite a few times before, so please search the forums before asking.
Yes it should work in the future, since it's working on a real dreamcast. Be patient and wait for future realises.

v1.1 works after you patch cdi file for av cable then you must burn it ; i don,t know is it able to load games or not

I believed all version of Utopia discs work, but none of them will atcually boot any backup games. Just wait for the next release.

actually version 1.1 doesnt boot, it says it has a different cable or somethen, but 1.2 - 1.3 - 1.5 does, just chankast isnt able to switch CDs yet, so cant work good

The Utopia boot disc is illegal, and thus, discussion of it's use is not permitted according to the rules.

What exactly makes it illegal? It's for booting programs on DC, that includes homebrewn stuff. Make no misstake, it's not just for pirates.

[edit:] If utopia-boot disk is illegal, so would making anything selfboot on DC be. Unless ofcourse they used an official SDK, but I don't think they did (correct me if I'm wrong).

You're confused. The Utopia Bootdisk is illegal because it used supposively a stolen or otherwise illegally obtained official Sega Dreamcast Development Kit. The selfbooting homebrew things are all perfectly legal as the knowledge was obtained through legal means.

"Unless ofcourse they used an official SDK....", I stand corrected

However it should be in a sticky that it is, in fact, illegal.

scottlc · June 7th, 2004

It's generally common knowlage in the Dreamcast scene. Most legit sites took it down when it was discovered that it used illegally obtained dev kits.

And yes, it was designed precisely to launch pirated games. The authors were a lame piracy group and they got what was coming to them.

i didn,t know it is illegal ; i supposed it is free so i,m sorry

I don't think you are the only one, and chankast will attract more ppl that don't know. That's why i think it should be in a sticky.
