    PSX Just a general question on a few consoles

    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.

    actually the DC uses GD, like CD but they have different coding in them or something...

    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.
