The issue of actual benefits vs. uses arise, with a major concern about piracy. A simillar decision went for the Xbox DVD fs (xdvdfs): http://www.xbox-linux.org/docs/needgdfs.html So, until benefits (of which I see very few, if any) out-number actual uses, I'm afraid a conclusive decision to this remains to be made, hence the Cc: to gc-linux-devel. Thanks. Arthur |

Thanks. how pathetic. i would vote for putting it in. if you want to pirate gc games you certainly dont want to use gc-linux for it anyway. gpz |

So what can this DVD driver do then? Only read GC-DVDs? Is there any way to support normal disc with this? (Sorry for that annoing questions, but a Q with Linux and MM playback from normal discs would be great, wouldn't it...) |

"normal" (as in homemade) discs cant be used unless the origa guys (or whoever else) releases their modchip. so for now the use of that driiver is limited to sneaking around on regular gc discs. however it will be useful for anything else once a working modchip exists (rumours say its going to be released within a month) gpz |
