ok, I bought a dreamcast yesterday, yes I know *shock! horror* but anyway it was £50 new with 4 games, all of the games work perfectly except occaisionally when I boot up Sonic Adventure (1) it just loads up the DC menu (with the options Play, Music, Options, Memory card) and then I choose Play and it just boots up the same damn menu again!
has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to stop it?

this might happen if the cd is scratched, if u continue to have problems try the utopia boot disc, as wel as import and backups it will help load scratched games

Hi Try setting the dreamcast to auto run. If not my mate washes his crazy taxi game to get it working!

Good advice if I may say so. Jet Set Radio is a million, nay a trillion times better than Sonic Adventure.

Don't bother booting up Sonic Adventure, get Jet Set Radio and play that all the time.
