and to dispel the CD myth:
reading any disk wears out the motor and laser.
Games that are harder to read causes the laser to die faster. This is true for back-up CD and DVD games for
Playstation 2
With dreamcast, this is not usually the case. The one back-up game that wears-out the dreamcast more than the original GD-ROM is 'Skies of Arcadia' due to compression. Does this mean if you play it your dreamcast will die? No. Does this mean if you played the original Skies of Arcadia it would have less wear on your dreamcast? Yes.
The best way to take care of your dreamcast laser is to clean your original Dreamcast disks and burn your CD-Rs at the lowest speed possible
