    I started playing dreamcast again and tried playing some of the old backups i made and none of them worked to well, many won't boot up at all and other seem to go back to the main dreamcast options screen after playing for a bit. Anything i can do? My dreamcast might be just getting old, it should work though.

    PS, there is no dreamcast forum :p

    maybe the discs your using are getting old and hard to read. Try reburning 1 of them and see if it works.

    That could be. All my original dreamcast CDs still work fine. I found an old Utopia boot disc, do some games need that or what? I forgot.

    thread teleported to relevant forum.
