I tried Shenmue 2 again and it crashed almost instantly. I was just playing Skeis of Arcadia for about an hour then that crashed again.

I guess I'll need to swap after all.

Something really weird has happened. I was able to play Skies of Arcadia for 2 hours straight without it crashing.

Don't know what's happened. I'll try Shenmue next

Thanks for all your help guys, much appreciated. I've contacted the seller about a refund.

Blue Stinger arrived today so I'll give it one more chance, not expecting much though.

Been playing...

I've played it through a third time. What do you guys think? Does it just not play games properly?

I'll hopefully get Blue Stinger in a couple of days.

That's cool, I'm putting in a CD right now. Would be interesting to see if it crashes around the same time.

EDIT - Okay I've just played a 40 min CD through twice and it didn't crash. Any ideas?...

Hi Zorlon, I have music CDs but none of them are Japanese. Would they still work?

Hi guys. By some miracle I've made it to the end of Shenmue 2 disc 1, thanks to the fact you can save anywhere. The Dreamcast crashes about every 30 minutes.

So I put disc 2 and it's the same,...

Oh I see now. I think it's plugged in properly.

I've been making baby steps with my Shenmue 2 progress. I get to play about half an hour at a time before it crashes. Luckily you can save anywhere...

Hi. Yes the seller mentioned this, 'PLEASE note - you must use a step down converter with this - it will fry the machine if you don't! Let me know if you need help finding one (they're around £15)....

Thanks for the advice Zorlon.

I've experienced a slight progression. I booted up Shenmue 2 again and tried to avoid doing what usually makes it crash. Instead of following the kid I just allowed...

Hi Zorlon,

So I can just use a little water to clean the lens? I could try that.

Also with the disc, shall I just dab it with water and dry with a tissue? I don't have any cleaning kits and...

Okay, I've just ordered Blue Stinger. If that doesn't work it's the console.



Hi are there any easy methods to clean the disc? It looks in immaculate condition but I could always try.

I have...

Hi amiga1200, thanks for the reply.

Yes they are retail games.

Unfortunately I don't have the tools to burn discs and so on.

So do you think it might be an issue with the disc? Like I said...

Hi guys,

I recently bought a Japanese Dreamcast from eBay. I also got 2 games from a seperate seller (Shenmue 2 and Eternal Arcadia).

Everything seemed okay but unfortunately my games crash.
