Stupid question about outer ring...

			Hi, i'm just interested about the cd protection the saturn have.... I read several things about it and it remains misterious.... Does anybody tried to dump it? What is the result? Cause, for exemple, with segacd, you can read a disc sector per sector... So it might be possible to read the outter ring in order to dump it (if it contains data ^^). :/ Ok Ok very stupid question but i'm interested u know :banana Thx for reply Bye Fonzie

			Look through the old discussions on the subject.

			Well, as i told, i already read lot of things about it... Many junk methods: "Cutting the CD" "Draw the outerring with a black marker" "Ripping with a computer" <<< Don't know how it is possible since u can't read sector per sector with a computer cd drive ... etc etc... Just answer, i'll delete all after ^^. Well, i need to explain a bit more my idea: On segacd, i rewrite the disc TOC to make the iso file set to maximum size. I read the last sectors... Might be already tested...

			Ok, i understand now. The data written in the outter ring in not iso standard (2048 data Bytes + sector header) so a classic data cdrom reader can't output any data without any ready error (since no sector header)... Thx Bye Fonzie

			I wonder if there is readable data of some form there, however, or whether it's more of a security imprint kinda thing. :/
