:( :( :(
My Dreamcast Keeps randomly resetting on any game, except Bleemcast for Tekken 3, for NO apparent reason. It all is clean and I use a lens cleaner. All my CD's are clean. I have NO idea whay this happens. Any ideas?

Loose power cord maybe? (a problem I have with my video lead occasionaly), it could be that your'e just lucky when using Bleem so it doesn't do it then. It does sound like a power problem could be the cause, its certainly the first thing to come to mind anyway.

For those who get really bored, try to figure out where the line above comes from. Put answers in here http://www.dcemulation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=6188

Thanks. I might Pay *gulp* ?35 to get it repaired (it was a used one I bought) and pay that just so I can play Shenmue without having to do the same day OVER AND OPVER AND OVER, so I can get Shenmue 2! YAY! :D

(?35 is a lot to me right now. I'm only 16 without a part-time job. eep.)

Hawq might be on the right track. If it isn't a loose plug, perhaps there is a short in the power cord resulting in it resetting. If you have a friend that has one, you might want to switch cords to see if that is it. If not, you might need to open it up or just buy a new one.

One of my mates just told me that unplugging it for 3 days works. *shrug* Here's hoping. *sound of plug being pulled out*
