Try turning your console upside down. It may sound crazy, but it does work from time to time. After you switch out the disks, turn the console upside down and let it ride. Don't ask me how it works, but it does. Jerry Terrifying of Mondocoolcast.com told me about this trick when I complained my Shenmue disks wouldn't load. I thought he was nuts, but the bastard was absolutely right.

People seem to have a lot of problems with disc 3 in particular. I remember LanDC telling me his disc 3 regular edition copy failed shortly after I sent him a different copy of the game. If it's not the disc, than it is probably the systems lens. It seems to be a design flaw in the Dreamcast that manifests after a year or two or use.

I sound like a broken record on these forums after 10 years. It's the dreamcast. Anytime the DC has trouble reading a disc and goes to the main system Menus the GD Rom drive is faulty

Ya ive been reading the same thing on other forums that you guys are telling me i can't beileve the Dreamcast has such a big flaw like that.Its odd Ikaruga,Marvel v.s capcom 2,Resident evil 2,Resident Evil 3,Karous,Triggerheart exelica,Jet Grind Radio,Snk v.s capcom and Shenmue disc 1-2 and the passport disc work just fine.

Dreamcast my fave console ever.

That said and I hate saying it. It was a poorly constructed console. My guess is because SEGA could not afford some higher quality parts. System just has too many hardware flaws. Some people have fried the controller port just because of a flaw having four controllers plugged in with an accessory like a jump pack or extra memory card

On a related note my Shenmue 3 disc isn't working. 1 & 2 work fine, but 3 gets a "disc not found" error. Any ideas?

Awesome, I'll give that a go tonight. If I'd known a screwdriver could solve the issue I'd have tried it years ago.
