Title: Dreamcast Upside Down Fix Alternative?
Post by: lukester on July 11, 2013, 02:11:36 PM

Hey everyone,

A few days ago I managed to get a Dreamcast and a copy of Shenmue!
Unfortunately, I had to adjust the laser a lot before the game actually managed to work, and whenever it did, it froze.   :-k
Thanks to a cheap trick though, turning the system upside-down gets rid of freezing! However, I do not want to damage the system incase, and flipping it back over to put in new games would be obnoxious. Is there perhaps an alternative solution to this fix? Thanks.  :)

Try a new laser. They can be purchased on ebay and elsewhere.
