| What are signs that it is dieng? Cause recently I tried popping in Bomberman Online, and it didnt work, it stuck at the intro screen (intro screen being the white one where DC logo shows), I had to start from the DC menu and start it manually. Other games worked fine.... | ||||

Yep, thats what started happining to mine about 3 years ago. It still works fine on most games but certin games wont work. (i have 2 dreamcasts so i dont have to wory about it) | |||

If your GD drive is on the way out then slowly games will stop loading. Certain games for some odd reason seem to keep going for a lot longer. For me PSO and Dreamkey 3 browser always seem to load long after everything else stopped working.
On the bright side what you said could just be a dirty or scratched disk. Even if it dont look dirty tr wiping it over with something suitable. Laters |

Try loading a Codebreaker or a Gameshark, the load Bomberman from there, dont put any cheats in, just use it like a boot-disc. It worked with my Unreal Tournament, which for some reason, after booting it several times from the Codebreaker, boots fine.
Or, try turning on the Dreamcast without a disc, let it go to the menu screen, the try and load it a few times from there, that works occaisonally. |

My 4X4 Evo disc is that way. On my "main" DC, it will not load up no matter what I try but loads just fine on my other DC's. Kinda a pain cuase I gotta switch DCs when I wanna play it online.
BTW, 4X4 game today at 9:00 pm GMT - 5  |

EB sells them for $14.99 Yeah, but if you can spare it, try to pick one up at a GameStop for just a bit more. I tried getting a spare DC (in case, God forbid, the unthinkable should occur) at the EB nearest to me; my first try netted me a Sega Sports edition with a faulty drive motor, and my second try got me a Japanese DC. Oddly enough, the guy ringing up the second DC during my exchange never realized that everything on the bottom of the console was in Japanese. I eventually had to take it back and get store credit - that was the last DC they had, and the power cord they packed with the system wouldn't physically fit. GameStop's stuff just seems to be in better condition overall. |

I bought two DC's at GameStop for the Hell of it for $10 a pop, and it wasn't a bad deal at all. GameStop has a better selection of used games, consoles, and accessories, while EB has more new than used games, consoles, and accessories. I prefer shopping at EB over GameStop, but if you want anything related to DC then I'd check out GameStop first. | |||

GameStop's stuff just seems to be in better condition overall. I also got a DC from EB ( which is now game in the UK ). The GD drive in my old DC was bust so I got one from EB. However when I got it home it had the resetting problem but with a slight twist to it. Everytime the DC reset it tripped out the power in my house  . Not to be beaten I simply swappedthe good GD drive in the resetting DC for my broken one and took it back to EB saying it didnt work

it only happend once, and i dont wanna replace my baby(got it release day ) |
||||

| Well if you don't wanna have to get a replacement, then you can always buy another DC and switch out the GD-ROM's to get it to work and then have a half working spare. they are not hard to replace and it good to have a soare anyway in case anything else goes wrong with the system,b ut the two main problems people have is GD-ROM and the F1 resistor blowing out on the controller board which can be replaced pretty easily without havng to replace a whole controller board. | ||||
