Need help with my Dreamcast...it is not working,,,very urgent, please read

[dcpsoguy]

Sometimes, when I try to start a game, any game or demo, the game doesnt load. It just brings you to that music, settings, etc screen. I must have tried it 100 times. But sometimes, when I try to start a game, any game of demo, It does work. How come sometimes it doesnt work, and sometimes it does? It happens randomly. Sometimes, my games start, sometimes they dont. Could it be a heating problem? I really want my DC to work all the time, so could someone please help me?

Thanks ,

Chris

Although this probably isn't your problem, a lot of pirated games won't start right on a DC without a boot disk.

your laser is either dirty, out of tune (yes its tunable), or shot.

Make sure your cd's aren't dirty (duh).

Like any cdrom, they do wear out or go out of alignment/power after time.

try a different media type like 16x quality cd-r's if you are burning "demos" heh.
