Aqua-Soft ForumsI'm not totaly sure if this would be considered General Hardware, General Discussion, or Cross-Platform. Would it be possible to write a new firmware that enables a CD-ROM to read a GD-ROM (which is basically a Dreamcast Disk). If it would help any, the GD-ROM reader uses a normal CD-ROM laser and I've herd that "hypethetically" a DVD-ROM can read a GD-ROM. This in no way is related to game piracy. I would just like to know if it could be done.
Cd-rom Reading Gd-rom?
Actually, a GD-ROM is a CD-ROM that is burned from the outside of the disk (a cd is burn from the center of the disk).
So yeah, maybe it's possible

don't most newer CD Burners have the ability to burn outside in nowadays?
Yes, that's called OverBurn.
But I don't think I explained myself correctly.
CD-Rom are burned from the center to the outside. on the GD-ROM, it's the contrary

Perhaps some one could work on a firmware to give a CD-ROM read a GD-ROM? By the way, overburn is not how they make a GD-ROM, I think. It would be nice to be able to make GD-ROMs on the PC. By the way, if any one is up to it, I can post some links to a few sites that have some info on the GD-ROM if they would like to try to make a firmware.
EDIT: A GD-ROM has 1 gigabyte of High-Density Data is on the outside, which is why a normal CD-ROM can't read them.
