A Sad Day

[Professor S]

While booting up Skies of Arcadia today, my Dreamcast broke. It no longer recognizes any disc I put in it. Now I begin my ritual week-long mourning of dead consoles

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

I extend an arm of friendship and a hand of sympathy during this time of loss. Let's take this opportunity to remember all the joyful occasions your Dreamcast gave us. I want you to tell me about the day you first bought it. Where did you go to get your Dreamcast and what were the conditions?

[Professor S]

Well, I actually ordered this one by mail, as I had it modded so that I could play Japanese Wrestling games. I've been spending the day going through my pages and pages of translations of game manuals and FAQS.

OH SWEET CHRIST I MISS YOU DC!!!! (DC was my pet name for her)

Time to get Skies of Arcadia Legends for Gamecube!

[GameMaster]

Are you going to order another one?

[bobcat]

how does this make you feel?

You need to let go of the past, and move on. The memories is what you take with you.

Empty the casing and make a cookie box of it.

Wow..... that might actually work. Where can I patent stuff? :(

[KillerGremlin]

Umm...open it up and repair it? Lol.

If it's just a disc read problem there's lots of ways to troubleshoot that.

I mean, you might as well open it up and have a looksie, worst case scenario it stays broken.

About a year ago I got disheartened when I was playing my Genesis to play some game I forget, and I was astonished, the sound wasnt coming through.

I thought way back, and I remembered me and my brother always had issues with the Genesis, because we used to abuse it, accidentally. We would play a game, and when I would beat him at hockey (when it happened) he'd throw the controller, and it would hit the system.

I guess all those years caught up to it. But now I dont even play the genesis. It's a sad sad day.

My Dreamcast is still going strong, although I very rarely play it.

I still have my genesis, its still in good working condition.

Well, I still have it, and can play it, just the sound wont come through. :(

I have three genesis - one original, one new model, and a Megadrive!

FTW!

(But the original has pretty much bitten the dust.)
