One of my Dreamcast disc's is not being read by the system. The laser is fine, as it works for the other GD-ROM's, and CD's.

My question is whether anyone who had/has a Dreamcast knows the best way to repair the disc's; I know ways to repair CD's (toothpaste, etc.), but seeing as the GD-ROM is a slightly different animal which can be extra prone to scratches, is there a better, or more successful way?

I haven't had much luck poking around the web so far, and because the data is so tightly packed, even one scratch can render the game unplayable. Sad

I used to use that one disc doctor thing or whatever. Would clean it up a bit, and it worked for Sonic Adventure 1, even though it had a gaping huge scratch on it.

Sonic now works as good as new!

I took it into Blockbuster, because they have a machine that's pretty much state of the art. Normally it costs money, but the guy did it for free, because he had never seen, and fixed a Dreamcast disc ever before. =P

Not everything is as it appears

I was going to suggest any one a of zillion places that sells used DVDs/Games but a video renatal place is a good idea too.

Just one thing left to say Dreamcast = fucking win.
