dreamcast cant read GD-ROM but CD-R backups work fine, EDIT

[chaseincats]

this is a really strange problem

finally found my old GD-ROMS and tried them today and ALL of them wouldnt work

but if i throw any cdr backup in there it works 100% of the time

any idea whats going on here?

DC on its way out? One of mine has started getting picky with what discs it plays, while they all work 100% on my other dc.

cant understand why that would be as all my cdr backups work

this is strange idk why all of them would act like that? i would have to agree with cOcOoO that laser calibration is your best bet at this point in time.

alright, ill give that a whirl this week

thanks guys

i have to say im excited about that sd adapter

EDIT: i tried your guys' suggestion and still no luck how much do you twist it?

Yep, my console has the same problem, if one day i actually need to play gd-rom games then i will calibrate the lens.

how fickle is it when calibrating the laser

how little of turns do i have to do
