Ok.. I booted up a copy of a sadly ripped version of Xploder 3 times... VMUtool once.. and the trial version of FoF once.. The Xploder not being dummied... VMUtool not being dummied.. and FoF isn't dummied either.. XDP was booted but I believe that is dummied.. I am afraid I have put extra wear on the Dreamcast, maybe shortening its lifespan, or causing possible problems down the road.. Have I? Someone help!!!!

You'll only at risk for shortening the lifespan of your Dreamcast if you load undummied copies repeatedly, because the constant jumping back and forth of the laser mechanism over a prolonged period of time will cause it to wear out quicker.

Loading those files just once or ocassionally shouldn't be anything to worry about.
