And a few more failed disc systems:

[*]LaserActive (which uses Laser Discs - part analog and part digital, I assume we would preserve the digital data for these here? Dumping might be super difficult lol!).[/*]

There are also RDI Halcyon and Palcom PX-7. And MSX also has VHD releases.

[*]Tao iKTV CD - just a karaoke system, no games.[/*]

It has its own line of CDs, needs to be examined. If those are simple Video CDs - no interest, but if they have data tracks with some kind of a program to be run - should be dumped.

Interesting...

MIL-CDs are very uncommon and pretty expensive.

These discs are not so expensive.

So would these properly dump in DIC with a Plextor?

Also do GDRoms properly dump in DIC with a Plextor? I haven't found any info on this and the wiki guide isn't for DIC.

Sarami if that disc is only 180 yen and has cheap shipping buy it, test it / dump it, and I'll paypal you a refund... assuming the format is relevant to redump.org

Interesting. I've seen it for more than 7000 yen on yahoo.jp aucs.

Those are multisessional, iR0b0t said he could add the support, but he needs a proper description of those REM SESSION fields/structure.

Those are multisessional

I think so too.

I confirmed this with TS-H353A, but jhmiller couldn't confirm by dic method though he used the same drive and firmware. I don't know the reason.
