Saturn lock ups

Post by Gin »

I've been having some weird lock ups, I've stopped playing my Saturn for a while maybe near a month and when I turned it back on again it would stop reading from the disc. At least that's what I think it was. Basicly the CD was still spinning but everything remained the same, it happened twice during the Sega Saturn logo screen and a couple more during gameplay. After that it played fine until I stopped playing.

Did it just need a warm up or something?

Are you using originals or backups? if they are backups, try reburning on better media

Apparently media is not the problem then, try one of those cds if you have one, or Isopropyl Alcohol or lighter fluid
