Try cleaning your 72 pin connector that is most likely the problem, qtips and alchohol, if not a chip fried on the motherboard

the gears is what’s loud as I’ve cleaned the fan of all dust I do hear it but it’s not bothersome while the system turns on loads the discs makes all this noise I seen a video about greasing the gears wondering if anyone has ever done it and got a smoother working dreamcast

Most of my dreamcast games are in great condition but I want to keep it that way since dreamcast imo is hard to find games for and pricey

My dude, peep the YouTube video below instructing you how to grease/lubricate the DreamCast's GD-ROM gears. You have to use a lithium grease only as anything else could damage the gears. Work slowly but don't expect a drastic difference.

Found an old Nintendo Game and Watch among my junk that’s at my old room in my moms house. I’d say it’s pretty retro lol.

Do you really care about the quality of the picture of your retro games on a flat screen? Or do you just want to play your retro games on a flat screen with "OK" upscaled graphics?

That is what you need to ask yourself before asking this quesiton

I guess nothing can outdo the framemeister eh will just stick to the CRT for retro gaming then.

They got these cheap little things that people say are pretty good. Google AV2HDMI.

Funny most people want the scan lines and none smooth graphics on older systems.

Yes. Marq's OSSC.

The only caveat is that it only accepts RGB inputs so you'll have to invest some money on having your non-RGB capable systems modified.
