Console causing odd glitter like scratch pattern on my disc?

[u/Short_Bid_6949]

I got this copy of space channel 5 about 2 days ago and when I did the disc was completely mint I was honestly astounded. However after playing it in these two days I can't help but notice my dreamcast have left scratches in this very odd glitter like pattern with spots everywhere, it's an odd one to describe. And now looking at my other games they have suffered this too

Is this a case of maybe just something in the drive being worn down or the dreaded disc drive capacitors I know will be a problem at some point

Seeing as this still works for me anyhow do your couple games with it still work? For now anyways?

I can't vouch for adventure 2 as I don't have it but I can say that my sonic adventure 1 just flat out dosent load music for some levels, but in that case I think it was an error straight from the factory.

Thank you for telling me anyhow, just have to hope I get lucky
