Weird disc wobble (help it's very worring)

Post by marcosmoutta »

When I put a disc in my Dreamcast, it spins almost normally - I can clearly see it moving a bit on the Z axis! Like how a hula hoop goes back and forth around one's waist instead of just spinning. Do I just have bad CDS with big holes?
Never had a Dreamcast before. Don't have authentic games to test.

After close examination, it's the CDs. The whole batch I bought has an off center hole. Will this put too much extra strain on the drive?

I would say yes. Best to get other brand maybe. I always used memorex and never had issues but people say Taiyo Yuden discs were some of the best.
