You need a bootdisc called DC-X. It's about £15 if you can find it.
There's a couple of free discs e.g. utopia that you can burn yourself, but they are pretty rubbish. Don't waste your time. Get DC-X.

A US retailer: consolefever.com still seem to have them for <$15. Not sure whether they export though but the shopping cart has global priority air option so it might be worth a look.

Dc-x?

You can't download DC-X legally. You have to purchase it.

You could try the CDX one off that page I suppose. It can't be any worse than Utopia.

is EGG elemental gimmick gear any good? i bought the u.s version, and not sure if its worth paying the $20 to get a boot disc to play it.
