It was to my understanding that the reset issue was caused by the pins warping from heat. IMO I don't think the DC would be able to get very hot from infrequent 2 hour intervals of use. Of course influencing factors such as poor ventilation would help.Soul Calibur makes an unusual noise when buffering + playing the music during fights, sounds like a squeaking bearing from a skate/(board)
I'm not the authority on DC of course, but I used to fix and sup up DCs as a side job, so I've got some knowledge on the common problems / questions.
Read the hitachi SH4 and accessories hardware manual once for fun: I'm a dork
As I said, mine died after only using it for only a couple of hours at a time, as did a friends, and mine definitely was well ventilated. In my experience DC's (especially earlier ones) do get extremely hot very fast.
I definitely didn't get those types of noises on my DC with Soul Calibur, I've never heard of that. The only game that REALLY made my DC make horrible noises that scared me was Sega Soccer which sounded horrible and had aweful loading times even on an original copy, so I never really dared play that game for any length of time.
