    Default Extracting files from a Dreamcast game.

    I can do this with some of my PS2 discs with my dvd rom, but how do I do this with a Dreamcast game? When I put in the disc only 4 files show up. 3 txt files (Abstract.txt, Bibliogr.txt, Copyrigh.txt) and 1 .da file (Warning.da). Obviously the game doesnt run from these 4 files (if you add up all the files it makes a whopping 900kb's). It claims the disc is 2.50mb's, But in reality it should be something more along the lines of ... 500mb's. So, once again, how do I look at the files that make up this disc? ??? ??? ???

    It's because the it's a GDROM, with a small section that's
    ISO 9660 format.. CDROM drive's can't read them.. so
    all you're getting is the 9660 track.. the rest can only
    be read on a dreamcast...

    What are you trying to get of the disc?

    Im attempting to extract some music and videos. I know it can be done with other console systems, I already have a file converter. Ive done this before with WWE SD: SYM. So basically your telling it cant be done?
