Interesting Tidbit - Triforce (Nintendo-Sega-Namco Arcade)

It's really not exciting news, but it looks like that the Dreamcast will not be the only system that uses GD-ROMs... the upcoming Gamecube-based arcade system Triforce that was jointly developed between Nintendo, Sega, and Namco may make use of GD-ROMs, as seen from GameSpot's article: http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/ne ... 92,00.html

It's interesting to see that Sega is using the GD-ROM format for something else besides the Dreamcast.

You might want to change the link, because when you click on it, it says "page not found". Just copy and paste the whole link http-.html.

Why the hell are they gonna use GD-Roms for arcade games when DVDs are much better? They hold 4 times the data! And you don't have to worry about all those licensing fees for all that propriety stuff.

The story says sega is looking into building a board around the GC's specs, not the GD-rom format of the DC.
