Why dont you ask other DC Emu devs about this? Inolen from Redream was happy to know about the format change and he told me we can count on him.
Im sure if we ask to the Reicast Libretro devs would be happy to share their thoughts too.

I'm in touch with the gentleman inolen from redream, he says adding support for the two cue system will be easy and he's ready to do so.

A possible single-cue file alternative:
Code: Select all
REM SINGLE-DENSITY AREA
FILE "Official Sega Dreamcast Magazine Vol. 11 - February 2001 (USA) (Track 1).bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Official Sega Dreamcast Magazine Vol. 11 - February 2001 (USA) (Track 2).bin" BINARY
TRACK 02 AUDIO
INDEX 00 00:00:00
INDEX 01 00:02:00
REM HIGH-DENSITY AREA
FILE "Official Sega Dreamcast Magazine Vol. 11 - February 2001 (USA) (Track 3).bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

So, I will come back to this topic since some people think this is my fault why it was not implemented yet.
Both variants: 2 cues & 1 cue can be accepted. I may code them both actually to avoid further bashing.
For the second alternative with a single cuesheet i want to have a clearness about following:
REM SINGLE-DENSITY AREA
SINGLE- or LOW-DENSITY ?

Earlier SEGA docs call them "Single-Density" and "Double-Density" areas, more recent revisions call them "Single-Density" and "High-Density". No "Low-Density" anywhere.

I think it would be better to skip dual cuesheets completely and stick to the single cue with the proposed improvements? It's just way more practical. Multi session discs should have a similar solution.

Regardless of the format used, I think it is very important for preservation purposes to get the makers of Optical Disc Emulators and software emulators on board to support it. There are two widely used ODEs that work on original Dreamcast hardware:
GD-Emu -

USB-GDROM -

Very happy to see progress! I will be submitting a handful of new dumps soon.

As a start i began with this single-cue file alternative:
https://redump.info/disc/57702/
If it looks good to you i will update all remaining functions and all GD-ROM cuesheets.
As a backup i would still keep the gdi downloads, but if you think its completely pointless i will discard those.

Someone should try to contact Daemon Tools guys for the possible support of such cues.
