yeah, basically what had happened was the superglue had gotten down onto the plate below the switch and set on it. from what i could figure out this plate reacts with the spring which when part of the spring is pressed down on it the two metals conduct some kind of message to the dc to start the dc ...

ok, well if anyone cares, i got it back to it's old state. so it works good enough for me! lol so yeah, it now has the blu tack back on the lid switch and boots fine. i would rather have this than nothing. i basically fiddled with spring in the switch adjusting it so it ws back to whatever shape it ...

ok, here is my prob as it stands now. i found a thread about a broken lid switch. some one on in it suggested some ghetto lid switch fix or something and explained you could pop the top off the little black case that holds the switch. so this gives me the idea to try and do this as i might be able t...

man, i can't believe this happened. i feel like a complete d!ck, but worse is the thought i may not have a dc anymore (one that works anyway!) ok here goes.... i have had my dc for a bit, but not since launch or anything. has only been bout a year and a half. anyway i used to get this prob where the...

i recently got a hais vga box and i know some games don't work with vga boxes, but when i try to use my boot disc (utopia 1.1) it also doesn't work which is a bit of a pain for certain homebrew apps and import games. i was wondering if there is another boot disc that can be used or if there is anoth...

i'm wondering if anyone knows the name of a song from shenmue i really like. it is played in a few bits i think, but the main one i remember is near the start of the first disc on shenmue 1, after the movie at the start when ryo's father has been killed and he is having a dream about it, you see lan...

I'm not sure about this, i don't play outtrigger online but i read this at http://www.planetdreamcast.com/ Outtrigger Out Of Bullets 10:54 PST | digitaltaco | According to the Magic Box, Sega will shut down their Japanese Outtrigger servers on August 31st of this year. Also, sales of the Outtrigger ...

The three games I'd like to see are: Bubble Bobble: bublbobl Contra: contra and Snow Bros: snowbros I know they all got ported to the nes but it's just not the same... I don't know Contra, but I'd definitely like to see bubble bobble and snow bros! those games kicked ass, and though i can play em o...

my shenmue 2 import should be coming in the next few days, if it's anything like the first, i wont be going anywhere for a while!

(my gf is gonna hate it more than the first i'm thinking! Shenmue = LucaSS not giving her enough attention )

I was just playing Rez. When I had gotten it I had a look at it as I had heard it was "interesting". It was, but due to other things I didn't really have the time to play it through. I recently started playing it again hoping to finish it as I heard it wasn't too long. Although the first f...

As someone who actually uses planetweb in australia, i can tell you it works. i use ver. 2.6 and haven't had any probs.

my top three were: a) Garfield b) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles c) The Mumpet Babies CBS atleast in nyc ruled saturday mourning here. Man i hated muppet babies, it wasn't so much the cartoon parts but when they would have bits that involved real life footage, usual some really old thing, it used to ...

i didn't know he did the voice but it's obvious when you know, he still sounded lame. can't say i was a fan of knuckles though. especially in the dc games, all that digging and puzzle crap didn't really fit in with the whole sonic idea of games based on speed. as for that stupid moneky in dkc 3, i t...

just a q, what is it about playing it in a stereo or such that can damage ur speakers?

gee....i wonder how long this one will last!

Was just playing some sonic games and realised just how much i always hated tails, and it got me thinking about what other people thought of such characters who came into games in 2nd installments and so on. So yeah, i hate tails, he just doesn't cut it, i generally found just about any of the chara...

there are a lot of good multi player games but i don't think my friends and i have spent even close to as much time on any other game than goldeneye on 64, it's the reason i bought a 64 and the only reason i still use it.

definitely pop n music!

classic gaming there, never was a game like it before, will never be a game like it again.

everything about it was done perfectly and is what video gaming should be.

none of you could truely judge a game properly without having this to use as a benchmark.

this is more just for the sake of interest and anyone who might not know as i didn't myself. i'm guessing more experienced dreamcast users and so on might. i was messing around with with some dc games, putting them in my comps cdrom drive to see if they had anything on them such as wallpapers and su...
