Dreamcast stuck at swirly screen for too much

Post by VEGETA »

Hello

I have a clone GDemu which worked for me for over 2-3 years no problem.

I installed a battery mod in my Dreamcast which made me disconnect and reconnect it.

Now it won't boot but rather stuck on swirly screen for many minutes then boots to regular Dreamcast menu and keeps putting "please wait while disc is being checked" or so. checked memory card in PC and it was perfect.

I put back original GDrom, and the console boots fast and as expected!

Here are some pics of my clone GDemu: https://slow.pics/c/CBxdebua

could it be a problem in gdemu connector? if so then why worked fine for many years?

I also cleaned everything but no use.

what should I do now? I saw I cannot buy new original GDemu, what to do now if I cannot fix this one?


EDIT: RGB SCART does not output image now, only composite does!
