Is There a Software Emulator to Run Original GD-ROM to Test

Hi. There's a hardware GD-ROM emulator already (thank you) but if there is a software based emulator that can run the actual GD-ROM disk to test (Windows, Linux or OS X) if the culprit is the disk itself or the GD-ROM unit/lens.

Thank you in advance.

God bless, Rev. 21:4

A CD-ROM drive can't read GD-ROMs without a trap disc and disc swapping, so trying to read a GD-ROM on a PC is highly impractical compared to reading it on a Dreamcast. If you want to see if your disc is defective, buy a second Dreamcast. They cost about as much as a DVD-RW drive, anyway.
