Can a GD-burner burn certain games less than 1 GB onto CD-Rs?

    Can you use a GD-Burner and burn onto a CD-R instead of a GD-R? Someone with a GD-Burner please try this.

    Uhhh.... no. If you want to burn a CD-R, you need a CD-R laser. If you want to develop with CD-R, you can do so by using the multitude of PD tools, in fact you need to because Sega by no means supports the MIL-CD exploit.

    :(. Yes. I thought maybe since the DC is able to read CDs & GDs that it could burn CDs & GD, since most DVD burners can burn DVDs & CDs...

    I was trying to see if burning to a CD worked so that I could see the architecture of the CD and how the GD burner burned the files (in how many tracks).

    Ahh nevermind... it was a stupid question...

    can we make iso using the data from the HDD of the DC under the explorer by :

    1) burning data on a CDRW
    2) making iso from that CDRW
    3) using this iso to make new CDR(s) for use with the retail DC making those CD(s) bootable

    I thought I read somewhere that older SCSI CD Recorders can run on the DC Dev Box, Yamaha CD Recorders to be exact?

    There's a way of burning DC data onto a CD-R using some sort of Selfbooting software. I've tried with ExoBoot, but had no success. The author of that program hangs around the Chankast forums.

    Now if you have a GD-Writer and a few GD-Rs, you can burn the data through GD-Workshop. I have an official F40 Demo ELF file, but I don't have a SCSI card, so I can't find out what is in the data.
