If you're playing games off CD-R, burn 'em slow. I always found DC games on CD-R to be picky.

Ok, I'm bring this back to life..

I just don't know what's wrong with it..It plays Audio CD's fine when I put it in..it refused to play any other DC game...I'm not playing CD-R's. the only 2 Games that works is Marvel vs Capcom 2 & Street Fighter Alpha 3 thoes are Capcom Games..Not even the DC exploder bootdisk..I hear it load the DC disk when I power it on then it goes in the Menu..and it says "Please insert disk" any help

some dreamcasts are just f-ed man. Try to get a few more (yeah buy a couple) on ebay for cheap.

It's a common problem and relatively easy to fix.

It's known as the Dreamcast resetting problem. Try and search the internet for instructions on fixing it. If you can't find anything maybe I could take you through the process.
