A lonely dreamer needs heeeelp!!!!!
 

Last days I've heard a rumor about GD backups. Some people got the DC lens (maybe the PAL) damaged because of the use of game backups. Is that true or it's just a false rumor to avoid piratery????
Please answer me that doubt...I need to know...
Thanks.

I want to know it too!!

well of what i heard it was only the non selfbootable games that damage the lens... That is when it was burned whitout a Dummy file. But Selfbottable games shouldent be a problem. And not non selfbott games either if you use the dummy......

and what about the utopia boot cd?
will it damage my dreamcast?

how can it damage your lens ??
think about it

a laser does one thing and one thing alone
it sends out light to the cd and the reflected data gets read and thats that
now if your reader cannot read a cd properly because its a cdr or cdrw then itll retry reading that particular sector and after a few attempts it will just quit reading the cd.

now there are people damaging there lenses and stuff by modifying there dc's laser to a higher output to get it to read cdrw and thats propably what you heard about
