    My DC dev box doesn't read discs!

    I have tried 2 different DC dev boxes and they can't read games or audio CD's (yes, they are original, not CD-R).

    Maybe the Cds are copy-protected ? check that out. Then try a CD-R, maybe that works then ;)

    well, now the dev box doesn't even read games (originals)...i hear the drive spinning the disc, but no luck. Do the dip switches need to be set special?

    I posted the dip switch setting in the other thread about the scsi hd problem. You might need to open the devbox and check if the drive is properly connected.

    bigsexyolli,

    I have this problem with 2 separate dc dev units. I don't even get a recognition that the drive door is open or the disc is being checked.

    Ok, I figured out what the prob was...I FINALLY got GD Workshop to recognize my DC dev unit. I set the Dev Box to GD-ROM mode....but when i go to load a game or CD or whatever, it hangs on the "Please Wait While Disc Is Being Checked" screen. Any Ideas?
