Lol, nobody can make it into a GD disc. Sega pulled the plug on production of them years ago, and how would you burn one in the first place?

Well, with a Devkit and the right equipment, you could burn it to a GD-R I suppose. Assuming you have some.

You wouldn't be able to press it to a traditionally GD-Rom as none of us have that equipment.

I'm not sure about the release of Hellgate, I believe that too was found on a Devkit. But Flintstones Viva Rock Vegas was actually a PAL Whitelabel, a rare one. It could be ripped like any Dreamcast game.

Thats right, they were made into an ISO to be burnt on a CD, no GDRom exsist of them, or they were simply riped using the same method on a dreamcast connected to a PC to get all the data, then they were made into a bootable CD.

Dude, don't you know that GD iso And CDR iso are 2 different things?

ANY iso that you download of retail DC games were once GD discs, but made to be burned on CD roms laugh out loud!

You sound like you must be very confused about the terminology of the media that you burn your games to.

When the files are taken off the devbox hard drive, the files will be made to work on CD's...

I think I may have miss-read a few posts on last page :oops:

I thought on the last page of this thread that you'd said there wasnt any way it could be put on disc........

Reading it properly I see you ment theres no way it could bep put on a gd disc.

sorry my ***k up :D
