hello all this may have been covered already but i could not find it so if it has just point me that way.
the newish sony MD system that uses the gigabite size discs arn't so expensive so i just wondered if you took one apart would it be possible to connect the disc mechanism laser etc to a regular dreamer instead of the GD rom drive?
sigh...when will people understand that everything inside of a Dreamcast is meant to work SOLELY with things found inside of a Dreamcast (crazy-ass bios mods excluded). You can't take some Sony MD player, plug it into the mobo, and have the Dreamcast assimilate it.
i see did not think it was feasible. however i did not mean to spin the original GDroms rather i thought it would be possible to transfer the data from an original game to one of the mini disc gds itself then it would spin.
i do not understand the magnetism thing mentioned but i guess if they are fundementally not the same types of disc format / reading/ compression whatever then it would not work at all oh well.

I've been keeping my DC on top of a NeoGeo cart and it has started to play NeoGeo games.
