6.2. Enabling VGA support - BootCD and Self-boot games
Credits to jc of dcwarez.
Boot CD
The original Utopia Boot CD 1.1 does NOT contain the VGA initialization code necessary... there IS a patch for the Boot CD image that will help with some games available from dccopyworld. The Utopia Boot CD 1.2 supposedly has the VGA patch applied to it, but is supposedly NOT an official Utopia release.
IMPORTANT!!!
The Utopia Boot CD's main screen (with the reindeer) will display fine on most TV's, but the screen is in some special resolution/refresh that many monitors cannot handle, some monitors may actually be permanently DAMAGED when attempting to display this screen. Boot the Utopia Boot CD with the monitor DISCONNECTED from the VGA box. Replace the Boot CD with your non-boot game, wait 30 seconds for the game to load or check your VMU to see if the game is loading, THEN reconnect your monitor.
Self-boot games
Not always, the person who patched the game to self-boot has to enable the option to use the VGA-box when they patch the IP.BIN file. Also, if you still have the *.CDI file you can hex-edit the file. Just follow these steps:
1. Open FILENAME.CDI in your favorite hex editor. And do a search for "KATANA".
2. Scroll down a little until you see the string "JUE" (see vgafirst.jpg).
3. Change the number string after "JUE" to "0799A10" (see vgasecond.jpg).
4. Save your new file.
5. Burn, and enjoy on your VGA box.
