Do you think that it might be due to the fact that i have that fuckin' flip switch mod?(you know, mod chip didn't exist at that time)

Yeah... what is this mod for?
But is the loader working after u change the disks?

to use american and pal games on my jap console!I'm sorry, my english isn't very good, i hope you understand what i mean!It usually works this way: you put th original jap disk in the console, then the "set internal clock" windows appear, then you flip the switch and the motor stops, you take out the original jap disk, wait until the lens stops going up and down, then you put the original PAL game into the console, flip the switch back to it's original position and the game loads!But i think it interferes in some way with the loader!I tried to stop the disk by flipping the switch and then putting the copy inside the dreamcast and then flipping it back, but i still get the loader window that says"pleas insert the disk"!If you can think of something.....Thanx anyway!

i dont think its your mod chip or the fact that its one of those "protected" DC's. The Dreamcast stops spinning the disc when the door is open. Actually, i should say the main reason why it stops spinning the disc is because the little white clip that holds down the door has jumped up when the door is open. When the little white clip is pushed down (by closing the door), the CD starts spinning again. Your little clip may be fuct or something. I recommend actually playing an original game and opening the disc door while playing. If the CD stops spinning, then you're fine and I dont have a clue on how to fix your problem. If it doesn't, then maybe you should fix or purchase a new DC.

the cd stops to spin not only when you open up the door, but also when the dc is not loading any stuff!
He should try another burner
