Title: PCE Duo slow loading times
Post by: LaC on November 20, 2014, 06:12:10 PM

So I noticed my PCE Duo seems to be loading cd games really slowly.  Especially after trying the same games on a regular working Turbo CD drive and noticing how much faster it is.
The games always end up loading and playing fine though.  It's just really really slow to load.
A few months back I bought this unit off ebay mentioning it had already been recapped.  And indeed it has new caps in it.
Is this possibly a laser issue?

Probably needs some pot lens adjustment. Try turning the V102 pot counter clockwise a little. This usually gets DUO CD drives going again when they read slowly.
