saboteur Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 One for CJ ( probably ) I assume the purpose of the CD add on was to allow for more data to be supplied on a cheaper medium but was it slower than accessing data via cart ? If so does that mean that with the advent of the gamedrive - game roms can be as big as one could wish with a better perfromance ( system limitations aside ) than cd E.G soundtracks can be cd quality ? Just curious really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+CyranoJ Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 My take on this is 'maybe' We won't know until the libraries for the GD are released. I suspect it will be a lot quicker and more reliable than CD however Also, there still won't be a way to play 'CD' Audio, it'll still need to go via the I2S and require processing/mixing in with other sounds, or be loaded into a ring-buffer and played as a sample. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
