I now have a problem with my dreamcast, i started playing sonic earlier, was having alot of fun, but i decided to play something else so i switched games to soul calibur (Sonic is a backup, Soul calibur is original) and now the only backup game that loads, is street fighter 3 alpha, none of the others work anymore, anyone know how i can fix this?

No need for a stepdown.

Open your PAL Dreamcast, remove the PSU board from the side.

Open USA Dreamcast, remove the PSU board and stick the one from the PAL machine in.

Use any standard figure-8 power cable in your american DC.

?????

PROFIT!

problem wasnt so much that my old dreamcast stopped reading discs or anything, it fell out of a trailer while we were moving and smashed, so in other words, it was thrown out, but the one with the disc reading issue is the new one, any ideas on how to fix that.

New GD drive?

Does your DC have a mitsumi or a yamaha GD drive in? Yamaha drives are fairly reliable and seem to last a while (they also load games MUCH faster and make less of a grinding noise). I've seen quite a few mitsumi drives that have trouble reading discs.

Use JVC/Taiyo Yuden CD-Rs
Burn at the lowest speed.
Don't use crappy media
