Can anyone confirm this with me?

Dreamcast uses CD's.
GameBoyAdvanced uses Cartridges.
Nintendo 64 uses Cartridges.
Playstation uses CD's.
Saturn uses CD's.

No, GD-roms are not just CD-roms with different encoding, rather they're something between DVD and CD. They fit around 1GB of data.

Nope. Not readable at all in normal cd-drives.

The DC media, GD-ROMS, has three tracks, one small track which holds 35MB which is compatible with CD-drives, the second is an empty track, which PC CD-drives are unable to skip and the third tracks which is 1G holds the game data. If someone comes up with a way to skip the empty sector, we shouldn't expect it to happen soon, they should be compatible.
