Barring the subhead, I've got a question regarding my Dreamcast and 3 original games which i purchased not just an hour ago. Three secondhand gems - Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi and Virtua Fighter 3tb. A measly discounted price at $10 AUS each. However i am not here to brag. Each of these games refuses to boot, with the exception of SC which booted once, worked fine, and refuses to do so again. I immediately tested my other original games and each worked perfectly. Not a problem. I cracked out my not-so-original VF3tb, booted it, played it, and had it crash after one fight.
"Hold on, that's not right" thought i. So I got out the other 'not-so-original' Crazy Taxi and to my pleasantry, it worked 100%.
I can't understand how the three originls don't boot...A similar thing happened when i bought a Second-hand Jet Grind Radio - it too refused to boot. I returned it under the pretence that it simply didn't work. The only explanation i can offer is that it's the hardwares fault - the originals are hardly scratched.
If any of you champs has an inkling as to what's goin' on, hey, I'd be grateful as...well...grate...And I apologise for mentioning the 'not-so-legal' things, but i thought it would help in identifying a solution.
