did you check with other games
if those other games work did you shut the dreamcast off while it was loading somthing if you did you ruined the disc by laser warp

As someone who knows a lot about DC, i'd say that would be the classic reset problem. IF that doesn't fix it... Who knows...

I have problems with my dreamcast, the cd drive is doing NOTHING!!! Every time I try to play anything I get a insert game cd message, I should buy a new 'cast

Try tweaking the DC laser pot. Have a multimeter handy and do not go below 180. Read this for more.
