Your information is old. Since then I'm certain that some people have modified their CD-ROMs to read GD-ROMs, but it's very dangerous. I can say that this is the same basic media as CD-ROM, but special firmware is necessary to correctly use it.

I think a DVD-Rom can read GD-Rom's then a CD-Rom

Who are you referring to?

then how could it fit on a cd is it possible you saw a dvd-r? not that i'm doubting you but i have no idea how that could be accomplished, without killing some data (FMV, music ect.)

I raised this question somewhere before too. The only valid explanation I got was that the audio was downsampled and "garbage files" were removed....

you can only read a gdrom with a CD-recorde Yahama (I don't remember the model), with hacked bios.

So, to play games when icarus get released, ill have to hook up my pc to a Dreamcast, "download" the game to my pc in ISO format and then play??

This is pure rumour. Nothing solid has been produced to back this up.

Pretty much, yeah.

maybe it'll be a waste of time... just buy a PS2

zerocopy · April 5th, 2003

if they could, they would already have one. This are logical facts on how a gd-rom could run on a cd/dvd-rom drive. If you think it's a waste of time go and play your ps2 instead.

frsoldier · April 5th, 2003

Icarus cam emulate the Dreamcast, but I think you need a very big cpu and ram on your pc

REi_FoX · April 5th, 2003

it played slow about 14fps on a g4 ti 4200 thats what they said...

frsoldier · April 5th, 2003

cpu ? how many mhz ?

REi_FoX · April 5th, 2003

i think it was amd XP 2100+

frsoldier · April 5th, 2003

ehhhh... nice cpu, my k7 700 can't compare with Icarus

Galway no Sora · April 5th, 2003

They said if you want to play the game properly, you need a 20 GHz processor

Velocity 7 · April 5th, 2003

Well I can honestly say my computer will not match up to that.

Off to my *real* Dreamcast I go...

Galway no Sora · April 6th, 2003

Well, you probably want to rent IBM's Deep Blue to emulate the games

**CyRUS64** · April 9th, 2003

10-15fps on a p4-2.2ghz...
With dynarec hopefully that'll improve nicely and then there's always hle as n64 emulators / ps2 emus used from the go

Pretty much everything in Icarus other than gfx display list processing and gdrom emulation is low-level emulated.

Generic Ninja · April 9th, 2003

I don't say 20Ghz, but 13Ghz could be

5 if fully optimized.
