Dreamcast Help, Keeps going to Main Menu

Post by pompeyparsons »

I'm having a problem with one of my Dreamcasts right now, each and every time I go to play a game it begins to load and then takes me to the main menu. I program in the Date/Time/Year etc, but it takes me to this screen each time I try to play a game. After I do this each time the game plays fine but it's real hassle I wish it would take me to the game instead of this screen.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this or why it's doing this?

PSU problem. Search for it.

You need to take your DC apart and bend the pins that connect the motherboard to the PSU towards the back of the console to make a better connection.

If you search google for DC random reset problem, or PSU fix DC you will find hundreds of guides telling you how to repair it.
