Recently tried to get mine working (it's been stowed away for a while) but it's not reading discs at all anymore or even booting to the menu screen.

We used to have to do the turn it on it's side trick but I think it was just stuck in a dark dank basement for too long. Kinda want to rip it apart and try to fix but we shall see.

Could always replace the optical drive with a gdemu (not necessarily the best walkthrough but entertaining)

Why do most youtubers act like the only target audience is teens? It's cringe.

Agreed, but Teens have lots of time. They are likely 90% of the audience.
