...I think my Dreamcast died. I was playing Project Justice with my brand new Agetek Arcade stick... and then the CD spinner thing sounded like it was wheezing. The BGM disappeared, but I could still fight. After I finished the fight, the game just... froze.

I opened up the disk cover, and the disk was no longer spinning.

Has my GD-spinner seen the last of its day? Is there a way I can fix this? Or am I going to have to go Dreamcast shopping?

I've had this thing since 9/9/99... god damn... it feels terrible.

Damn, thats insane. Did you turn it back on? lol like test it again after you opened the lid and took out project justice? Maybe it was just a freak occurance. For sometime one of my dreamcasts was making a wierd whistling noise. Now its not doing it anymore. yes your dreamcast could be breaking down. DC's seem to have a limited lifespan. Like 5-6 years if you take care of it correctly. Which is why I keep buying up more and more dreamcast's cause I don't ever wanna not have a working one.

I hope your dc starts spinning again Crying or Very sad

Yes, I have about five of them right now. I'm going to buy them up as backups while they're still dirt cheap.

Yea plus they make for great setups for system link games. PLUS if you have a BBA then having one for BBA gaming and one for dialup gaming is also great. So much you can do with multiple dreamcasts. You can never own too many Very Happy

Fucking spindle is busted. It's gone. Kaput.

I bought a used one today. Felt good. More Project Justice. Yummy.

But now I'm even more pissed off than before. For some reason, my PSO characters won't boot. I'm using the same memory card for the same game disk, just different Dreamcast. I want to play with my god-damn characters. Over 200 hours have been put into my level 99... I don't want to go through those again. Keep in mind, I have the NTSC-U version of PSO v2. How do I get my characters to work?

PSO chars are bound to the machines they where created on, same with the serial you use when you connect to the PSO servers. So either you need to make new charachters or you need to open up the dreamcasts and swap the GD-roms. It is really easy to do so I would recomend doing that.
