Some Dreamcast games not working.
Some Dreamcast games not working.
I've had this problem quite a few times now, currently on 3 games I own: Virtua Striker 2 (PAL), Virtua Tennis 2 (PAL) and Air Force Delta (NTSC-JAPAN). There isn't any major scracthes on them, but after the Sega logo they just pop back to the BIOS screen. Tried boot discs and everything. The one music track still pops up under the CD player part, but the games simply don't want to go to the data. This has happen to me with different copies of Virtua Striker about 4 times now (as I keep replacing them because the game is rock cheap.). Anyone else have this problem or even better a solution of some sort? Thanks.
Do you play your dreamcast a lot? Also, do you play backups on it at all? If so, it could be your laser. I had an extra dreamcast lying around, so I put in a NES emulation disc and played Galaga with infinite lives cheat. Then I put a rubber band around the fire button and let it sit for a couple days to see what happened when the score looped.
Anyways, after a few days it broke my dreamcast laser. It wouldn't read regular games anymore or anything else. At first, sometimes it would read a GD-ROM disc, but not a burned one. Then it stopped reading anything.
