hello Neties. just as a sidenote.. the actual burning is usually not
the problem, but preparing the image. i used to burn dreamcast gd-rom
images (scummvm) for dreamcast, where a usual cd will give close to 1G
on an usual cd blank thanks to special formatting. i think i used
cdrdao for that. ymmv...
