GD-Rom Drive

[Markdanni123]

I have seen a few replacement laser drives on eBay for sale if my laser breaks, what do I need to look for to make sure I am buying the right one for my console? My Dreamcast is 22 years old and the laser is still fine but I want to buy one just incase it’s breaks, I know people will say just buy a gdrom but I really don’t want.

I know I've truly seen rev0 vs rev1 they're not cross-compatible

Willa veterano further elaborate on this matter please

You be better off finding another Dreamcast.

I purchased a replacement drive off ebay for $30. Worked perfectly and alot quieter. Maybe I got lucky I dont know, but I think its worth a shot.

[Markdanni123]

Yeah I have seen one for 18 quid, guy seems legit enough might give it a shot
