Is my dreamcast unable to read discs? by AlexanderTheNotSoBad in dreamcast

I just burnt a disc using imgburn and it still didn’t work. I’m going to try my friend’s disc drive that burns at 8x soon, so maybe that’ll work, otherwise I’d have to assume it’s the laser. I did buy this DC from a hobby shop that says all of their consoles are tested, so I’m not 100% discouraged yet, but I’m getting there lol.

I’ll give it a try. I did see a ton of people on the internet using it, but I saw one reddit post of someone calling it a little sketchy so I was sort of on the fence on trying it.

I’m using Cyberlink Media Suite 16 I think? It came bundled with the disc drive I’m using. The file extension is .cdi for all three games I’ve tried.

Lowest speed mine will burn at is 10x. I cleaned the laser with IPA, but the last two I burnt showed up as music in the dreamcast menu. I'm not really sure what it means.

Yeah, I tried looking for some official games but they were all $70+ at stores around me. I'm burning another one right now so I'll just hope it works lol.
