I've gone Dreamcast shopping at least 3 times in my life.
When I bought them used, they had to test out all of their Dreamcasts to see which actually read discs.
They tried out at least 3 Dreamcasts with 7 copies of Sonic Adventure. Some copies worked on some models but others didn't. I ended up leaving the store with a Model 0 Dreamcast and a white-label Sonic Adventure.
I guess what I'm saying is that GD-roms weaken over time.. And playing burnt copies of games also hurts the GD-rom.
