[Dreamcast] - Fixing Autoreset Problem With a CDCase

[lbhtsl]

Oh. I simply used my CD POUCH of abt 20CDs in it to act as paper weight on the Dreamcast cover or lid. at least it temp solved this problem.. Hope this tip helps.

Adoro la spirale blu del Dreamcast XD

I've got rid of a couple of Dreamcasts because of this problem, damn it all to Hell!! The games are great & the DC is an ace console, but what a screw up when the console starts dodgley doing things its way ("I fancy playing Virtua Tennis....oh the DC f**kin' deosn't"). This is the only games system that i know of that has this type of fault. Maybe its a build in critic of our games collections.

[mdrb97]

Thank You thats wonderfull

I like my NTSC red emblem...=]

[NLmaxdamage]

the cd case, its a black little thing. wrap the tape thight around it. and put the case back up. check it the case opens and closes correcly. and then boot up a game and the dreamcast will play perfectly for life. for some of you , you only have to do the last step with the tape. some others might have to do the pin connecter trick to. good luck and if anyone has problems PM me and ill be glad to help you fix your dreamcast

[NLmaxdamage]

omg.. PEOPLE!! IF YOU WANT A REAL FIX FOR LIFE LISEN REAL GOOD. screw your dreamcast open. look to the left and you will see a part that you can screw loose. its the power part. pil it chently up and you see a connector about 4 pins i think. clean them real good. and then bent them a little bit you way all the pins so they make a better fit in the connector. then take a thin peace a tape. and wrap it around the little connector thing on the right top of the dreamcast the thing that connects

@NLmaxdamage Your advice makes more sense than the simple botched quick fix featured in this vid. Had problems with my X-Box. I did a proper maintenance & now it works like a Dream!

[DylanRulez69]

thanks so much it works

[InuMoon2323]

that's how my dreamcast is and I bought it off amazon

[JohnJamesMaloney]

@InuMoon2323 The main reason why people get rid of them. Shame really, they're great consoles other wise.

[EBTL0947]

i have two dreamcasts, and one i got off ebay had reset issues. i'll take it out of storage and try this method

[Luixmai]

Well, this worked for a month, but later the resets started to appear again.

So, this time i used an elastic band instead of a game box, and it works fine! Neither a reset yet.

Give a try ^^

Bye.

[JohnJamesMaloney]

@Luixmai Dodgey, oh well if it works....good luck

[Luixmai]

@JohnJamesMaloney

Well, It worked at the beginning, but with the time it started to fail. So I decided to do not waste more time and toke apart the console and fixed the problem, wich was the lever that determinates when the lid is opened and when not.

Just got my DC back out again to play classic PSO and I was having the auto-restart problem. This video solved my problems 100%.

[howlingjinn]

Assurdo haha complimenti per la trovata!

[kenzeus]

Works Perfect Thank you!!! Now I can play shenmue I am so happy !!!!!!!!!1 >=D

[MrCopyrightViolator]

This is SO ridiculous! (I love it!)

[joqueloco]

Now it works like a charm. thanks a lot m8!

[Luixmai]

Yeah, it works

I have the same problem with my dreamcast, but with this metod, the reset have dissapeared.

Thanks.

Nella storia le più grandi scoperte sono quasi sempre avvenute per caso. ^_^

Bello il DC, il parco giochi di titoli veramente validi era limitato, ma ne valeva tutto l'acquisto della console.

[psytechnics]

yeah, i used to have it taped like this(halfway closed) :D but now it works right, i just cleaned tha thing inside that tells for the system when lid is closed.

[arabianights]

thank you! man, this actually worked. i couldn't believe it since i had this random start problem for more than a year. thought my dc finally gave it up. now i could play agaian. hehe

[LucaPIRANHAMASTER]

Hai un dreamcast = sei fortunato

Magari ce'l avessi io!!!

[italiansblogitbetter]

L'ho comprato su eBay. Con un po' di fortuna te ne porti a casa uno base (cioè, console, cavi e 1 joypad) con 59€, spese incluse.

[arranmc182]

only do this if clining your pins on the inside did not work see my videos for dreamcast fixes

[coyel]

I actually lolled at 40 seconds.

Good thinking!

[alessandro86bonollo]

ciao grazie alla tua sapienza ho potuto risolvere un problema che ormai mi affliggeva da più 2 anni ;)

una cosa ho notato che oltre ad evere la dc modificata usi dei normalissimi cd.... hai fatto te la modifica o è una cosa casalinga?? se si è complicato l'inserimento di un lettore cd al posto del lettore gd rom??

[francoizzz]

scusa non ho capito...

[italiansblogitbetter]

Devi mettere una custodia CD sopra al portellino invece di chiuderlo. Stop.

[GoCavs71]

I wish i had seen this before I started openeing my system all up and stuff. This really works.

[italiansblogitbetter]

;)

Thanks man!

[azzkiqr]

open it up and clean the pins instead

[italiansblogitbetter]

In fact, FIRST open it up and clean the pins.

Second, try the CD case ;)

[zeldaocarinaoftime2]
