So...turns out the Dreamcast I bought wasn't as in as good a condition as it seemed. A couple of games didn't load consistently, which was weird, but didn't think too much of it. Got a copy of Crazy Taxi, and the disc is spotless. It doesn't boot. At best it loads to the Sega logo then returns to main menu. I did a smidge of googling and read about people putting consoles on their sides/back to play games. Dreamcast on its back? Crazy Taxi boots. Cleaned the laser and was terrified that I'd straight up killed it.

Initially contacted the buyer to ask if they'd provide a partial refund as it wasn't fully operational as the laser seems to be dying. They refused, telling me it was fully operational when they shipped it (although noted that they tested it 'a while ago'). Contacted ebay directly - who ended up refunding the whole purchase. And I don't have to return anything?
