Not sure if it useful to anyone not to sound like a noob but perhaps we can make more with it somehow?
Just look up Sega Blank GD-R

They appear on eBay sometimes, you can burn games on it with a Dreamcast development unit.
But thats it we cant study it and learn more about it to try and re create them somehow maybe?
They're identical physically to high quality CD-Rs. The biggest thing that sets them apart is the media ID (same thing that tells your burner that a CD-R is rated for only 4x or 8x write).Quote:

CDs don't have individual spots for each bit to be written, it's just a coating. GD-Rs simply write the data closer together.
It's relatively similar to the difference between a 45 and 33 rpm record. A GD-R is just written to more slowly or whatnot.
They work almost identically to Double Density CDs, or the GigaRec format.
From what i heard, The CD's information spaces are farther while the GD-ROM Compacts that space to actually double the 650MB CD-ROM.
Do They still make these even?
but i wonder, if someone had a Katana Dev box and made an App in KOS, would it run? I know Dev boxes eliminated CD-R Boot.
anyway, nobody could relase katana software legally (make with Windows\DC-SDK)

I think you can mod a ROM (without the Dev System), if you knew what you were doing.Quote:
