[Dreamcast] - Fixing Autoreset Problem With a CDCase

== FOR ENGLISH PEOPLE ==
This is one of the best (and absurd) solutions to avoid Dreamcast's Autoreset. I discovered it accidentally because one day I did not completely close the CD tray and the game worked perfectly. When I closed completely the CD tray, the game stopped.

== FOR ITALIAN PEOPLE ==
Questa è una delle migliori (e assurde) soluzioni per evitare l'Autoreset del Dreamcast. Me ne sono accorto per caso: un giorno non ho completamente chiuso il vano CD e il gioco ha cominciato a girare perfettamente. Quando ho chiuso completamente il portellino, il gioco si è fermato.

Hai un dreamcast = sei fortunato

Magari ce'l avessi io!!!

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.

scusa non ho capito...

[italiansblogitbetter]

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

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.

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.

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.

[JohnJamesMaloney]

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

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

@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!
