DC Getting Slow

Post by ScDreamX »

Most times, when I turn the unit on, it boots normally. Every nth time I restart to put in a new game, the sound and "@" sound and draw at half-speed, and then the game starts at half speed as well.

This seems to happen a lot more than when I first got the console... What's happening?


Thanks.

That's a very interesting problem that I've never heard of before.

I doubt it has anything to do with the laser. The startup screen with the swirl is independent of the laser and would show up even if the laser was completely removed. It's most likely something else.

Like I said, I've never heard of a DC doing something like this. Sounds like yours has some defective hardware to me.
