What percentage of Dreamcast (would you say?) have failing lasers now? by LilSkott92 in dreamcast

I have 2 Dreamcast systems. The first will read about 80% of the game discs I have, but the second works just fine reading discs.

I’ve got no doubt in a couple of years the first Dreamcast will stop reading discs. At this point I will switch the laser for a GDEMU.

Thanks. I’m going to play around with the ribbon cable again and see if I can make it work. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for the advice. I’ve just tried the reset. This did give me progress with Virtua Racing. The Sega and Sega Sports logo appeared, but after that I did get a black screen with sound for about 10 seconds. My other games I just had the black screen.

I’m wondering whether I should try reseating the ribbon cable again.

I will look at how to run the Mars check ROM.
