I don't know. As far as I know it is (or rather, *should* be). But like I said, you still can't rip whole GD-ROM discs yet anyway. Tomorrow (or rather, about 8-10 hours from now as it's already Saturday) I'm going to pick up a CD-ROM drive I bought off eBay in December which *may* be able to read them fully.
So far I've tested about 15 CD/DVD-ROM drives with the "swap trick" process (as it's known) and found that almost all of them are incapable of getting (much) data off the high-density sector. I even tried a Yamaha CD-RW drive - that could not even read the table of contents (TOC) of the disc, let alone anything else.
Thing is, reportedly the Yamaha CRW-F1 can rip GD-ROMs, but I wasn't prepared to spend £30 on a new one on an eBay Shop last time I saw one.
