@nflux @EndlessMason @BlueSCSI it's just literally some parallel style, proprietary low-speed interface where the drives tend to basically be told what to play, where to skip to and so forth.

• This is also how "AntiShock" was implemented: just a big read buffer and sometimes a 2x-8x drive.

The proprietary nature is also why the #SegaSaturn remained uncracked way past it's lifespan and how a #NeoGeoCD #ODE was created by @furrtek…
