Why can dreamcasts read burned cd-r????

[benderx]

Dreamcast needed a cd music player.

Xbox 360 games are on regular DVDs, thus backups can be made with regular CD-Rs.

Arg, sorry, meant DVD-Rs.

its the same technology, gdr and cdr.

a gdr just has the memory packed tighter so you can fit about 1 gig instead of the traditional 800meg of a regular cd.

the only different on the dreamcast is that i believe it has a tighter lazer to read the more compressed gd-r discs, but dreamcast consoles always were made to play music, so the lazer was made to read regular cd's as well.

Ok, I see quite a bit of disinformation, and just some confusion in this thread. First off, Dreamcasts use their own proprietory disc called the GD-ROM, this is twice the size of a normal cd. Secondly, the Dreamcast touted it's ability to play CDs (like many other of the consoles at the time), so Sega allowed it to do that as well. Thirdly,

Because the disks they use are closest to cd-r

people pirate ps3 game with blue-ray disks

xbox 360 are used with hd-dvd discs pirate disc

ps2,ps1,saturn,and sega cd also read cd-r pirates

so really no system is safe if a person can mod it and find a blank disc of what its games are made.

This is pretty much all wrong. No one has hacked the PS3 to be able to play burnt Blu-Ray discs yet. Xbox 360 games are on regular DVDs, thus backups can be made with regular CD-Rs. Modifications would have to be done to just about any console to get it to play back ups. There are a few exceptions (DC, Sega CD, Xbox I believe only needs to be softmodded) but other than that, it's not especially easy to get burnt copies of games to run.

I've seen burned ps3 games being played on blue ray discs.And i did say that every console can be made to be modded to play burned games.

Did you also see people play Xbox 360 games on the PS3 too?

I am just waiting for Niode to take away 3 of those question marks. I think he gets off on it

xbox 360 are used with hd-dvd discs pirate disc FALSE... HD-DVDs aren't even used for games

ps2,ps1,saturn,and sega cd also read cd-r pirates

Do you just make things up as you go along?

The MIL-CD support (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil-CD) is what the hackers took advantage of to enable piracy on the Dreamcast.

Everyone should just stop arguing and softmod their Wii instead.

Actaully, still wrong.

All xbox 360 games are on DVD-DL's, you cant burn them to a single layer dvd (It is to do with the way the SS is embedded).
