merlot Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Last time I used it, it wouldn't read discs and the startup screen would look funky and make odd noises. So yesterday I ripped her open, used compressed air to blow out the internals and fan, and cleaned the lens with lens tissue and lens cleaner... back to normal again! Today I went DC game hunting and found a mint condition copy of Virtua On for $8 and a slightly scratched version on Silver for $10 at Gamestop. They have a 90 day return policy, so should Silver not work, I'm ok. Next up is Sega fishing games and rod 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand new & sealed Rod and Marine Fishing for $14.99 on the Ebay auction I just won. There was 4 minutes left in the auction with no bidders Actually, the place I won it from is selling a TON of them, new, on Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Congrats - I seem to be in the minority thinking that Marine is the best in the Fishing series, but the majority is just wrong. Hunting Sharks is far more fun that just endless varieties of bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 I'm in the minority with you too, though I haven't played Bass 2. Marine Fishing is just so much /fun/. On a related note, my wife & I played Samba for the first time this year (I think) last night. Damn that game's as good as I remember it. And "sway mode" on normal is a pretty good workout on the arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brogan Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I had a similiar experience a couple years ago. After it stopped running I had given up on my DC for awhile and figured I'd have to buy another one. As a last resort I opened it up, gave it a thorough cleaning and it's been working pretty good ever since. I have had one problem; when after playing a game for an extended period, the DC starts a emitting a high pitched screech. I was able to remedy that by laying the unit upside down and it's works fine. Still, I'm thinking of getting another one for 19.99 used.
