    This mod is for those who like to take off their DC noise and have some dexterity and patience to do well without destroy your DC, the objetive is reduce de DC noise what is more caused by lane GD-ROM reader, and also comment that in all the forums I've visited Dreamcasters have not seen it so I guess that is the original idea of Ritersnake (la_rana_renexD :p) Dreamcast.es Without more enjoy ...

    Here's the original Mod is what it did was melt the original gear and as you can see it has the disadvantage that the mod and can not be reversed unless they get those gears again I see difficult.

    But there is another way to do the mod and get these pulleys other device and change gears for original DC mod thus it may be reversed and they have left their DC Original again.

    If truth recommend this mod is very good you can make it as a PS2 Slim dreamcast that level of noise but as I have some risks can break the Flex and recommend not tamper much the engine for the cables why then it disordering and if soldering another look at the engine should not be quick to undo the plastic in order to do something easy. Also very important is very important that the pulleys are the same diameter of the gears or at least seemed that with games like Shenmue's some problem to recognize it I think that is the edge of the disc at startup.



    Material:

    1. Motor pulley (plastic and also metal've seen), they can get into some old walkman or radio that does not serve or with a technician.

    2. Pulley for track (this only if I do not have plastic glass or gold or diamond xd), this will be a little more difficult to achieve because the axis of the lane is wider than the motor shaft and pulley must go well in the axis we must be fair, I found a plastic gear (of a device for polishing discs) perfect entering the shaft, was as of about 4 cms but I was cutting a piece of hacksaw apart until that was more or less than the original gear diameter, and finally with a file to round and finish it with a piece of hacksaw I made the groove for the band. No if a radio technician or an electronics tend to be able to get and not having to vicissitudes and a half.

    3. Rubber Band I think this is achieved in the electronic parts stores, I look in my house but I did not find that size is quite small, and so you end up with one of those elastic bracelets that make it we serve and tie it will not take much but for testing,


    Procedure:

    Watch The procedure must be done with caution because we can leave the reader unusable

    I will explain the important points we do not say I should have the hand in such a position or something.

    1. The first is to remove the full reader dream (full), 3 screws and upward.

    2. With love Flex disconnect the lens, is easier to do if we release the lens of the two lanes where it moves from the base and so we let him go smoothly, you should know that we can break the Flex, and to take the lens separately put it somewhere as a clean bag to protect it until you finish the mod and install it again, the Flex can only be switched on and off from the base without the lens installed in the two lanes (conversely, not made to the end that the lens installed in lane that is almost impossible and bends the Flex and only from the base as I say it is safe).

    3. What they need is to remove the engine it has a screw loose as well and take away the gear and put the new pulley.

    4. The rail or roller rotating, is separated from the lens turning to release, as this will remove the gear apart and seek the pulley or manufacture, if they happen to make eye like me I had to reduce a large gear; put tape around to protect repason to give a hacksaw or lime in it that give it shape.

    5. Since the pulleys are placed and the band they put grease on the rail and ends as the band that pulls the lane to not wear or make noise.

    6. The parties do not have to do anything to put them in a safe place like a drawer in a bag while completing the mod for that they are not going to throw away XD.

    These are the important points if there are risks but it is no big deal only with patience and as we have a commercial says quietly dremcast is priceless. xD

    Bands on an image here that if you get into an electronics store and there are several measures. The left is the middle 1.7cms I broke by stretching and then repurchase is 1.5cms and the right is the one I made with inner tube no longer in use. An important point is that the band should not be too tight because if it is not the motor will spin so you have to buy several measures.

    The material needed to make rail pulley indeed know if you can get into an electronics store I did not ask, I build one with a gear that was 5cm disc polisher cut it apart and gave form.

    The following was before I put the gear that helped me to make the pulley rail.

    In the following three images made with a rubber elastic with making these bracelets, you can see the knot. xD I did the test and if I served the mod and virtual cop ends.

    The following pictures show a bandage scissors made with a piece of bike camera only cut the size you want then patience is the center hole and round finish with sandpaper.

    I'm testing the mod in the F1 and I can not believe it's like he turned off the dreamcast, not so much truth we still hear the fan noise but no longer accelerating, like they're on the menu, we are more Silent is unknown smoothness xd lol. Then I write the material needs to be achieved and the procedure, it is necessary to test the mod without making any modification to the dream we can reverse it if they do not like.


    I hope they serve

    pd; tanks to google traslate and to key contro c and v of course
