Viking funeral?



I'm sure someone'll be along with a serious suggestion soon.

That sounds kinda effed up. When stuff like that happens to me, I always google around and try to fix it myself before taking the next financial step in spending my money. If the lens doesn't read the gd roms anymore, try this: a clean tisue(preferably glasses tissue) and wipe softly over the lens. I mean you've got nothing to lose. If it's dead than we need to dig him a grave quick :(, maybe try buying a new lens :P if you are bothered to fix him haha

YouTube solutions on how to boost the lense's power there is a simple guide.

Be careful with your Dreamcast unlike PS2 less than 11 million were produced.

Rumour has it theres a model of the Dreamcast with a gd-rom drive that doesn't burn itself out nearly as quick as the regulars. But it's also the one that can't play burnt games or something? I'm not sure I haven't been able to find one that can't play burnt games yet so I'm sorta disapppointed

but, on the brighterside, I did get an emulator to work nearly perfect with jet grind radio (set) and shenmue, as well as skies of arcadia so I'm not all that disappointed since I hvae a DC to PC USB adapter for the controller.

AND~!
my PSO server I play on is back up so I've been to focused on that to care about the fact my DC is dead (RIP my lil buddy :( )
and I got a gba sp with phantasy star collection so I'm playing 1 2 and dear god... 3. unfortainently the fourth one wasn't put out in PSC for gba so I'm sorta let down....but it's still sexy.
least until I decide to get a Playstation Portable to get some P.S.P. I'm hitting the phantasy star phase again.
However my boss thinks I'm addicted to drugs cause Ill stay up late playin some PSOBB on a work night..woo..t...

Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is a pretty cheap and easy way to play through Phantasy Star IV whenever you finish the other ones.
