Mega CD trouble
« on: December 16, 2007, 12:35:22 AM »
got a MCD today (my first one) and it refuses to play any cds (audio as well).

procedure:

-turn on the system
-put the cd in > close
-system makes a disc check
-after 5~10 sec i get prompt to push the start button
-the cd-player menu appears

and that's the dead end.

any ideas or suggetions what that prob. could be? similar experiences?

first i will try to clean up the lens.

Have you tried playing CD+Gs to see if those work?

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I think it is very important to have a CD+G to test this feature on all consoles.

I guess in Switzerland and Japan they didn't advertise how cool it was to be able to play CD+Gs on your old CD video game systems like TGCD and Sega CD  :mrgreen: . Of course this didn't help sell any consoles whatsoever.

You'd think that japan would advertise it since karaoke came from there, haha.

Is it a model 1?  If cleaning the lens doesn't work, check the belt that pulls the tray up after it slides in, sometimes they get loose and don't pull it up all the way.

pressing any other button brings you to the CD+G

Can't wait for this guy's faqs if that is the level of his problem solving skills.
